fresh fm
http://www.freshfm.net http://player.wizz.co.nz/freshfm https://twitter.com/FreshFM_NZ Fresh FM broadcasts across the Nelson/Tasman region on 104.8, Eastern Golden Bay on 95.0 and Blenheim on 88.9. We also operate a low powered FM transmitter covering inner Nelson city areas on 107.2. Fresh FM is the only Community Access radio station in the region and is the only one in New Zealand operating over such a wide region and using studios in multiple locations. Our vision is that Fresh FM should reflect the aspirations, creativity, experiences, stories and music of the people who live in the region covering the top of the South Island. And through our broadcast frequencies and on-line services, share those things with the world.

[|Travel: Punakaiki] Lynn Freeman heads to the West Coast of the South Island, to a township that is all too often only seen as a quick stop to see the famous Pancake Rocks, blowholes, en route to bigger neighbours Greymouth or Westport. But Punakaiki is determinedly promoting itself as a destination worthy of at least a few days of your time. For the outdoor enthusiast there is kayaking, horse riding, petrels, tramping and hunting in the vast Paparoa National Park. It's also one of the best places in the country to see the night sky away from city light pollution.
