Park funding shortfall
concerns residents
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
A $3 million planned upgrade
of South New Brighton Park
could see an eroding estuary
edge protected, and a crumbling
boardwalk removed.
But residents are concerned
about how it will be funded with
a projected $1.7 million shortfall.
A city council staff report will
go before the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board today, with
the hopes of confirming the
upgrades of the jetty, boat ramp,
car park and boardwalk in South
New Brighton Park.
But there could be a funding
problem. Residents say the city
council has estimated the project
will cost $2.96 million but
the city council is expected to
provide $1.2 million through the
South New Brighton Reserves
Management Plan of 2014.
And, after seeing the opening
of the $25 million Christchurch
Coastal Pathway from Ferrymead
to Sumner recently,
South New Brighton residents
are lobbying the city council for
the same treatment.
South New Brighton resident
Deidre McGowan said the
project may only be possible if
the community board gets city
councillors on their side.
“It’ll only happen if they have
the numbers in council to push
it through. Pauline Cotter and
Phil Clearwater do not want
development going ahead in this
area, they always fight it. Raf
Manji and a few others are seeing
there’s some potential down here
though,” she said.
“I’m late for a very
important date!”

In June the Pegasus Post reported
that South New Brighton
residents were furious at the lack
of action from the city council to
stop the estuary edge and walkway
eroding away.
They said they wanted to receive
the same amount of money
spent on them as was being spent
on Sumner and Redcliffs across
the estuary.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board deputy chairman Tim
Sintes said he is “envious” of
Sumner’s multi- million dollar
coastal pathway and sea wall.

PEGASUS POST
FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News.......................................3, 7
LIKE SO many of you in the
coastal suburbs, I was perched up
on the hills after being evacuated
due to the tsunami risk yesterday.
Again, like the previous earthquakes,
I am always taken by the
wonderful folk we have in this city.
While I was perched up the top of
Egnot Heights in Redcliffs, the lads
in my car decided they would have
a nap. I was not similarly afflicted
and had a wander around.
I found Nicki of North New
Brighton, who unknowingly
soothed me with her banter and
her beaut two-year-old dog. Then,
Nicki and I found ourselves invited
into a stranger’s home, who brewed
us a cup of dearly needed caffeine.
In her house, were other refugees
– a school caretaker and a lovely
young couple from Germany and
Mexico.
The earthquakes continue to
shake us, but they do not shake our
marvellous Christchurch spirit.

Dancer home to another quake
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AFTER A whirlwind dancing
career in the Big Apple, a former
Bromley dancer has returned
home only to face one of his
biggest fears – earthquakes.
The 7.5 magnitude earthquake
that struck near Hanmer Springs
was a harsh reminder for
Hayden Joseph Withers, 21, who
suffered badly from anxiety and
trauma after the February 2011
earthquake.
He has returned to Bromley
to his family to take part in
The Court Theatre’s summer
production of Legally Blonde
after dancing professionally in
New York city for more than two
years.
He left Christchurch to get
away from the earthquakes and
to study at the American Musical
and Dramatic Academy, which
he graduated from in 2014.
“Getting out of Christchurch
was helpful but even in New
York if doors slammed, or there
was thunder, (or) the subway was
rattling the street . . . you would
think that is an earthquake,” he
said.
Yesterday, Withers and his
family were evacuated from
their Bromley home after the
earthquake struck.
ON STAGE: Hayden Joseph Withers performing in the musical
All Shook Up at The Fireside Theatre, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin,
United States.
“I am pretty tired, I was up the
hill until 7am . . . my mum was
pretty upset and it reminded me
a lot of the September 4, 2010,
earthquake,” he said.
Wither’s fear of earthquakes
was amplified after the February
2011 earthquake when quake
predictor Ken Ring said an 8.2
magnitude quake would strike
on March 20. A 5.1 aftershock
struck on the day.
“I thought at that point, that
was the end . . . for the next while
I was scared to leave my room,
go anywhere,” he said.
He said while he was reasonably
calm about yesterday’s earthquake
and was still attending
rehearsals at The Court Theatre,
he had not yet processed it.
Fresh from his most recent
endeavour sailing around the
Caribbean on the Disney Dream
cruise trip as a dancer, Withers
knows a thing or two about
facing his fears to chase his
dreams.
“I am actually scared of the
ocean. Sometimes I would get
really anxious and I would be
crying or whatever,” he said.
Withers was seven when he
nearly drowned after slipping
on a rock and falling into a river,
staying under water for about
30sec before his father rescued
him.
But he said he braved his fear
of the ocean to work for what he
describes as the “most magical
company in the world.”
“Making magic for so many
people every day was so special
. . . the kids just die for it – they
love it.”
As for living in New York,
Withers describes it as a place of
beauty, culture and opportunity,
but somewhere you are a small
fish in a big pond.
On his return to New York,
Withers plans to find a place
to settle down after “gypsying”
around the United States for
so long before he gets back to
auditioning for shows.
In Brief
LIVING EARTH SMELL
The city council and Living
Earth are still in talks with
Environment Canterbury over
odour fines. In June, ECan fined
the city council and Living
Earth $1000 each for an odour
that came from Living Earth’s
compost facility in Bromley.
A city council spokeswoman
said it “has disputed the odour
breach and cannot comment
further” as it has not heard back
from ECan.
WHALE POOL OPEN
New Brighton’s whale pool is
back in action for the summer.
The city council reopened a
number of outdoor summer
pools on the weekend, while
some paddling pools will open
in the coming weeks. Pools in
Waltham, Halswell, Lyttelton,
and Jellie Park were also
opened on Saturday, along with
paddling pools in Scarborough,
New Brighton and Spencer
Park.
POPULATION RISING
A city council report has
signalled that the population of
the Coastal and Burwood wards
is expected to reach 52,200
by 2018. In June 2013, the
population was 48,600. The two
wards make up about 13.6 per
cent of the city’s population.

Tony Murdoch
Recording sporting history
Tony Murdoch has just
published his new sports
history book Black and
White about the North
Beach Surf Lifesaving
Club. It coincides with
the club’s centenary
celebrations. Fraser
Walker-Pearce spoke
to him
You must be thrilled to have
published the book when you
did.
Yes, exactly. It was published in
time for the club’s centenary celebrations
over Labour Weekend.
They had hundreds attend that.
Is this your first sports history
book?
No, I have written two other
sports histories, one on the
Riccarton Cricket Club in 2002
and then in 2013 I did the 150th
jubilee history of the Christchurch
Football Club. Then this
one came along, they asked me
to do it, and I’ve been doing that
ever since.
So you’ve been working on
this for the past three years?
Yes. It’s a big project, I think
it’s about 240 pages. Probably the
club records weren’t as detailed
as we would’ve liked but we were
able to cross-reference with Surf
Lifesaving New Zealand’s annual
reports and check most of it off.
Things like results and that kind
of thing were hard to check off
though.
Who approached you from
the club to do the project?
Roger Smith the president of
the club talked to me about it.
He’s lived and breathed the club
for about three or four years.
What’s different about this
book compared to your others?
This one is more of a coffee
book style. With lots of newspaper
clippings like the famous gala
dances at North Beach. That’s basically
how the club got through
the Great Depression and that
kind of thing. [In the book] there
are ads for the dances, we used
the full width of the page in the
book with these photos and I
BLACK AND WHITE: Tony Murdoch has coincided the publication
of his sports history book Black and White with the centenary
celebrations of the surf club it is written about.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
think it really adds to the look of
the book as well.
Obviously it’s called Black and
White, but that’s also the style of
the book you’ve created?
No, no. There’s a story to that.
It’s called Black and White because
the club colours are black
and white. But also the personality
of the club is very pragmatic,
they’re hard workers and they get
things done. They make black and
white decisions and they don’t
muck around – they’re black and
white about everything. I ran that
past the committee near the start
and they were well pleased to
think that’s what people think of
the club.
How was the club founded?
The original thought was that
it was a group of men who were
members of the New Brighton
Surf Lifesaving Club who got together
and decided to make a club
a little further along the beach.
But the real story is that there was
a guy called Ray Blank. It became
pretty clear as I was looking into
it that Ray Blank and a group of
guys from a North Beach businessman’s
association got together
and had land interests in the area.
They decided that if there was a
surf club in the area that would
bring people out there and raise
their house prices. And they did
quite well out of it.
Do all of your books look
quite deep into the club’s history?
Yes, each of the books has a
twist to them somewhere in it.
The twist in the rugby book was
me saying that the conventional
theory of the first game of rugby
in the country was played in Nelson
in 1871 was wrong. It’s in all
the official New Zealand histories
saying that. But the Christchurch
book showed quite clearly that
wasn’t the case. They couldn’t
have – as the game didn’t exist in
New Zealand back then, they just
played a hybrid game of soccer.
It was actually out of Christ’s
College that the game in Christchurch
grew.
What are the other titles of
your books?
The Riccarton Cricket Club
book is called Green and Gold,
and the rugby book was called
The Old Club, just like the old
newspapers used to call them.
How would you define your
style of books?
Lots of anecdotes, lots of personalities.
This book goes through
a whole lot of life members, and
families of members. These are
guys that are prepared to swim
out 400-500m to save someone. I
mean, can you do that? I certainly
can’t.
No, I’d definitely 100 per cent
drown. Do you work part-time
as well as all of this?
Yes, I have a full-time job at St
Bede’s College. I’m the alumni
and community development
manager. I’ve been there for eight
years. Previously I was the chief
executive of Canterbury Cricket
and chief executive of Athletics
New Zealand. I was a teacher at
Aranui High School before that.
You have a huge sporting
background, did you ever play
yourself?
Modestly. I played rugby and
cricket, unsurprisingly I played
rugby for Christchurch and
cricket for Riccarton.
How did you start your writing
career?
I actually started at the
Christchurch Star back in the
day. When I was teaching I also
co-wrote a few history textbooks.
There was a group of us at Aranui
High, including John Rosanowski
and we wrote a series of history
books for fifth form (year 11)
students.
What subjects did they cover?
A little bit of New Zealand
history, Martin Luther King, race
relations in South Africa, we
touched on the Springbok Tour.
Also the gold rushes, New Zealand
foreign policy, and also two
books on Hitler and Germany for
social studies. To teach students
from your own textbook is quite
CLASSIC
RACES: North
Beach surf
club’s 1981
crew. The last
surf crew to win
a national title in
the long course
race until this
year.
a thrill.
And were you born and bred
in Christchurch?
Yes, born and bred. My brother
Tim and I have lived in Sumner
all our lives and I think my next
project might be on the Sumner
Surf Lifesaving Club and their
centenary.
What schools did you attend
back in the day?
I was at St Bede’s and then onto
Canterbury University where I
studied American history. After
that I went on to teaching at
Aranui High for about 16 years.
And who’s with you out in
Sumner?
My wife and I live out there and
we have two adult children. I met
my wife at a dance at the Sumner
surf club.
So surf clubs played a big part
of you growing up as well?
Surf clubs have a big role in
what I call the rite of passage.
They had dances and social
gatherings, they provided a social
space for kids in quite an interesting
time of their lives. There aren’t
many other sports that boys and
girls just hang out and compete
together that much. Many men
and women put countless hours
into keeping these clubs going as
well.
Why do you write sports
history books?
If you look in the book, there’s
only one thing that has stayed in
the North Beach community for
the past 100 years, and that’s the
surf club. There’s been post offices
and cafes and restaurants and that
kind of thing but the only thing
that is still there is the volunteerrun
surf club. So I kind of write
to give them their turn in the sun
even if only for a minute.

Surf club founder hero and villain
ashion
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
WHILE RESEARCHING for his
first book on the North Beach
Surf Lifesaving Club, Black and
White, Tony Murdoch found
that the founder of the club was
both a hero and a villain.
Ray Blank (right) banded
together local businessmen, who
owned a lot of land in the area,
to create a surf club in 1916 in
Gardening
the hopes that it would raise its
value.
And it worked.
But while Blank went on to
become a local hero at the club,
Murdoch looked into his background
and found that perhaps
that title
otoring
was undeserving.
“To some he was the uncrowned
king of New Brighton,
but to others he [had the] more
disparaging title of ‘Sand King’
bestowed,” he said.
Blank was prosecuted by the
borough council in 1935 for
owning buildings with insufficient
water and sanitary arrangements.
asty Bites
“Everyone knew that Blank
was experienced in acquiring
structures on the cheap and
shifting them to suitable sites.
Witness the number of baches
around [New] Brighton, Burwood
and Avondale,” he said.
It was story gems like this,
that Murdoch
oney
discovered while
writing a 240 page history the
club.
Further in the book, Murdoch
writes about brothers Pat and
Ian Stuart, who had a cunning
plan to “bail out” of a surf club
canoe when a large wave came,
so the members at the front
would be thrown forward and
into the water.
“It worked beautifully and Pat
and I were guffawing behind the
shore break when Don Dalton
paddled past on a ski and said
‘you shouldn’t have done that,
the canoe’s broken in half’,” Ian
Stuart said in the book.
The brothers had to “face the
music” when the two halves
of the canoe washed up on the
shore.
Other tales in the book include
the triumph of the 1981 North
Beach surf boat crew which took
on the country’s best crews and
won in Oakura, New Plymouth.
Brothers Dave and Steve Pipe
as well as Ron Vette, Terry Kreft
and Rob Lindsay took to the
water and won gold in the long
course race and took silver in the
short course in a photo finish
with the Whangamata crew.
Four years later however, when
the local competition came to
New Brighton, the decision was
reversed and North Beach was
awarded the gold in the short
SNAPPED CANOE: Ian and Pat Stuart, Greg Day, “Tiny” Leech and Gary Robertshaw holding
their broken canoe.
course as well.
Pegasus Post reported in
October that after a few beers to
celebrate Dave Pipe’s 60th birthday,
the crew decided to enter
the Surf Life Saving Nationals to
be held on New Brighton Beach
in March and the World Masters
Games next year.
The club’s 75th anniversary
celebrations were celebrated in
1991, and was the highlight of
the season for most members.
“By all accounts the celebrations
were a major success with
a good attendance and plenty
of smiling faces as old friend[s]
renewed contact . . . the highlight
of the season was undoubtedly
the 75th jubilee which was a
resounding success,” Murdoch
said.
GOOD TIMES: A North Beach gala held sometime between 1916 and 1920. Legend has it the ferris wheel was shut off by the
police shortly after this photo was taken. Right: North Beach’s 75th jubilee celebrations in 1991.

CARDBOARD CRAFTS: Queenspark pupils got
creative last week when they were handed
cardboard in all shapes and sizes. Their task was to
recycle the cardboard and other various junk items
from a box, cylinder or sheet into something new.
Some pupils created tanks and machines, while
others made miniature cars, binoculars, signs and

WAITAKIRI and
Marshland were two
of three schools in the
city to be showcased to
international guests last
week.
On Friday, the two
eastern schools, along with
Halswell School, hosted
top education officials from
Ireland, Japan, Turkey,
Greece and Mexico.
The officials were shown
the schools’ flexible learning
spaces and “studentcentred
approach,” Education
Minister Hekia Parata
said.
“New Zealand’s schools
are of great interest in the
international community,”
she said.
“Our curriculum puts
the students at the centre of
learning, and each school
has a unique vision for how
it delivers quality teaching
and learning.”
Waitakiri, Marshland
and Halswell schools
have all been rebuilt since
sustaining damage in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
The officials also visited
Auckland schools Ormiston
Primary, Kelston
Deaf Education Centre,
Ormiston Junior, Ellerslie
Primary and Te Kura
Kaupapa Maori o Puau te
Moananui a Kiwa earlier in
the week.
Marshland principal
Jacqui Pascoe said the
school gets many visitors
but this group was special.
“We get a lot of visitors
through the school as
most do. But this is special
because it is a group from a
whole lot of countries like
Italy and Japan,” she said.
“They’re getting a
big tour of the city and
schools, so absolutely we’re
excited about hosting
them.”

Handling fireworks
more responsibly
Fire risk
management
officer Mark
Thomas talks
about fireworks,
banning certain
kinds, the impact
public displays
have had on public safety
and looking after animals
around Guy Fawkes.
Thirty years ago Guy Fawkes
night caused a holding of breath
by just about every firefighter in
the country.
Inevitably somewhere a
sawmill would end up burning
end to end. Or a town would
be circled in flames as trees and
scrub went up in flames. Or
someone not even celebrating
the night would find their garage
on fire.
The news would report the
tragic loss of an eye by ill-used
skyrocket. Letter boxes were the
target of ‘double-happy’ bombs.
For firefighters it made no sense
at all.
Thankfully we’ve come on a bit
since then. The ban on rockets
and bangers
helped. The
provision of public
displays has been
a big plus. And
perhaps we should
acknowledge
that more recent
developments in health and
safety has had an effect on
people’s behaviour. Whatever
the reasons it was gratifying to
see just nine fire calls overnight
on November 5. Grass, scrub,
fences and a couple of bins put
down to fireworks. It’s not
perfect. But it’s encouraging.
Animal rescues are also quite
common around Guy Fawkes as
crackers terrify dogs, cats and
other animals. This week saw
three of these type of incidents,
a dog, some ducklings and
very topically a lamb stuck
in a stream at Cashmere on
Wednesday night. None were
necessarily fireworks related but
all involved the problem solving
skills our firefighters develop
every day in the multitude of
different events they now attend.
They’re pretty damn good
actually.
Would you buy a piece
of the residential red
zone to help turn it into
a forest park? Hamish
Monro, a descendant of
Canterbury’s pioneering
Deans family, has offered
to buy red zone land to
begin the proposed Avon-
Otakaro Forest Park – and
he hopes others will follow
suit.
You said:
Linda James – If the
Government/taxpayers already
own the land, why do people
have to buy it? Good idea for
donations for the plants though.
Marie Stanley – I thought
the Government owned this
land, isn’t that why they did
the residents over? Oh bloody
hell. That is taxpayers’ money
not theirs. That land should by
rights belong to New Zealand
and we should be able to access
it whenever we like and do what
we as New Zealanders want.
It would be a wonderful place
to plant a tree in memorial
or plant the placenta of our
babies to nurture and build
a beautiful park land for our
future generations in perpetuity.
I hate the way the National
Government has handled all of
this. No heart.
Anthony Collie – Because
now the Government seem to
think that “they” spent money
on the land not EQC and
now want a return on their
“investment”.

Anxiety and breathing
– are they related?
When good breathing goes bad
Have you experienced any of these
breathing difficulty symptoms?
• Disturbed sleep
• Erratic heartbeats*
• Feeling anxious and uptight
• Upset gut/nausea
• Chest pains*
• Shattered confidence
• Tired all the time
• Achy muscles and joints
• Dizzy spells* or feeling spaced out
• Irritability or hypervigilance
• Frequent yawning and sighing
• Breathing discomfort*
• Pins and needles
• Feelings of ‘air hunger’
*Check with your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
These questions are asked on the website
www.BradCliff.com. BradCliff was started by
North Island physiotherapists Dinah Bradley
and Tania Cliffton Smith, who specialise
in hyperventilation and anxiety treatment.
Their website notes one in 10 people
experience some form of breathing pattern
disorder or chronic over breathing at some
time in their lives, resulting in a range of
disturbing or frightening symptoms puzzling
to you and your doctor.
You feel unwell because of overbreathing,
and overbreathing makes you feel unwell.
A vicious cycle is established, which is a
major stress all by itself. This is experienced
currently by many Cantabrians, says Ietje
van Stolk of Physical Sense Gym & Physio.
As she explains, it is normal to breathe fast
and in the upper chest when we are in danger
and fight or flight is needed. We know all
about that here, due to the earthquakes.
Normally, once the danger is gone, our
breathing should restore itself within a
couple of days. We would then be using the
diaphragm for our normal nonstressed
breathing. We have been having a hard
time restoring our breathing pattern here
in Canterbury because every time our body
tried to achieve that, the next aftershock came
rolling in. Even though the aftershocks have
significantly diminished, some people’s fight
or flight mode breathing has become chronic,
or habitual, Ietje says. And, as she points out,
using the wrong muscles for breathing means
these overworked muscles cause headaches,
neck pain and jaw pain.
With fast upper chest breathing, sighing
and yawning, the resulting disturbance of our
oxygen and carbon dioxide levels can give us
the feeling we are not able to control our own
body. One moment you are are feeling fine,
next moment your chest feels tight, you feel
out of breath, your heart beats erratically and
you may even experience dizziness and/or
tingling. Very scary if you do not understand
what is happening. No wonder this causes
anxiety. Not being the boss over our own
body makes us anxious, anxiety feeds the
faulty breathing pattern, and so it goes on.
The BradCliff physiotherapists have
established a national network of practitioners
that regularly train together and can help you
overcome this problem.
Physical Sense is part of that network.
To make an appointment phone 377 2577.

Gallery numbers
below target
• By Bridget Rutherford
CHRISTCHURCH Art
Gallery did not meet
its visitor target for the
first three months of
the financial year, while
Canterbury Museum has
had record numbers.
The city council’s
performance report from
July to September 30
showed it had hoped to
get about 400,000 visitors.
However, it had met 72
per cent of its target.
Meanwhile, Canterbury
Museum achieved
record visitor numbers in the past two
months for its exhibition Air New Zealand
75 Years.
September saw 48,879 visitors, while in
October, 63,815 people visited.
City council customer and community
general manager Mary Richardson said
Canterbury Museum was better served by
bus routes and tourist buses.
She said the city council was looking at
a bus parking area for near the gallery.
“This is likely to be considered by committee
early next year.”
There were also a range of road works
around the gallery, she said, and the gallery’s
car park was still closed.
The city council hoped once the car
park was reopened at the end of the
month and it has leased the cafe early
next year, numbers would pick back up,
she said.
The gallery was officially reopened in
December after being damaged in the
February 2011 earthquake.
It cost $60 million to repair.

No job too small at
this repair business
Scratch on the bumper? Dent in the door?
Damage like this can happen so easily – in
supermarket car parks, for example. And
the place to get minor damage quickly and
professionally repaired is SMART Repairs
in Lichfield Street.
SMART (Small to Medium Automotive
Repair Techniques) Repairs provides a topquality
service with a quick turnaround
– vehicles are usually in and out within a
couple of days.
SMART Repairs is owned and operated
by Brian and Maxine Caffell, who bought
their first panelbeating business in 1993.
Brian has a total of 31 years’ experience in
the trade, so customers can be confident
they will get a first-class job.
Services include paintless dent removal,
or PDR, and while a large percentage of
their work is non-insurance, they also
provide insurance quotes and carry out
those repairs quickly and efficiently.
To keep their customers on the road while
their vehicle is in the workshop, SMART
Repairs recently acquired a courtesy car,
and this has already proven to be a great
help for people, Maxine says. They also offer
a pick-up and delivery service if required.
As a small, friendly operation, SMART
Repairs specialises in small to medium
repair work, with no job too small, Maxine
says. Their aim is to provide personalised
service, and make it easy for customers
unsure what to do if their vehicle is
damaged.
“We take pride in our work and ensure
that our customers are happy with the
results.”
SMART Repairs is located at 272
Lichfield Street, at the Fitzgerald Avenue
end. Opening hours are Monday to Friday,
8am-4.30pm.

Versatile unique character home in Purau
5 Monalua Avenue, Purau Bay
Price: $565,000
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 1 office/music room | 2 car-garage | double carport | off-street parking | Listing # 2972
PEGASUS POST
Set on a picturesque level 809m2 section
close to the beach and with a stream
boundary this well-built strong home has
a lot to offer. With 4 bedrooms, 2 living
areas, 2 bathrooms and a large musicroom/study,
the design of this house gives
plenty of living options. There is extensive
decking at both the front and the rear of
the house to enjoy the lovely sheltered easy
care garden with its well established fruit
and native trees. North facing and with nice
sea views from the upstairs bedroom and
front deck area. Wonderful indoor/outdoor
flow and 2 wood-burners for those colder
nights. As the front part of the home is
semi self-contained, previous owners have
utilised this by renting it out as holiday
accommodation. There is a double garage, a
double carport and extra off-street parking
for the toys. Don’t delay this lovely family/
holiday home will be sure to impress.
Note: (Agents Own Home).
Purau Bay is only 2km’s from Diamond
Harbour and approximately 40 minutes’
drive from Christchurch CBD, making
it a highly desirable holiday destination
as it is so usable being close to Chch. No
more spending hours in the car to get to
your holiday home, you can even holiday
and commute if needed. Properties in this
lovely valley and by such a safe swimming
beach are defying all the odds and selling
fast generally as they come up very seldom.
Excellent swimming, boating, walking and
stunning sunsets on the hills, easy access to
Lyttelton via the Diamond Harbour ferry,
local shops, cafés and bar make this a fun
filled place to visit. Properties here make
an excellent investment and Purau Bay and
valley is a truly magical place to visit or live.
