A retired farmer, Mr Moore

Mr Moore helped transform 

the Halswell Quarry into the 

park that it is today throughout 

the 1990s and early 2000s. 

The majority of his collection 

was passed down from late

for empty 

quake site 

• By Louis Day 

SOUTH NEW Brighton is about 

to be revitalised. 

Nearly eight years since the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

wrecked shops on the corner of 

Estuary Rd and Bridge St, new 

commercial and entertainment 

activities may only be weeks away. 

The empty plot of land on the 

corner is set to be filled with a 

community common ground. 

Live music and food from food 

vendors will be on offer and it is 

hoped that it will be up and running 

before Christmas. 

The common ground will be 

managed by the Bridge South 

Brighton Trust, the food will be 

provided by the Food Collective 

and Sustain South Brighton will 

organise the events. 

Sustain South Brighton community 

activator Samantha Fay 

said the common ground was 

exactly what the community 

needed. 

“To have that common ground, 

that gathering space where people 

can come together and hang out 

and share knowledge and learn 

from each other, that’s going to be 

amazing to have,” she said.

SOUTHERN VIEW 

THAT’S GOOD news on page 1 today 

about plans for the corner of Estuary Rd 

and Bridge St in South New Brighton. 

Three community groups have come together 

with a plan to make use of the land 

which was a casualty of the February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

There isn’t much south of New Brighton these days, so the 

plan for live music, food stalls and vendors is a good one. 

Before the 2011 quake, the area was a busy one. 

What the groups involved, and the trust overseeing the 

project, need to do though is promote the heck out of it. 

Talking is a good start. 

Beware of leopard seals (page 7). They are unpredictable.

DREDGING WORK will begin 

on the lower Heathcote River to 

help reduce flood risk. 

The dredging is part of the 

city council’s land drainage 

recovery programme and will 

be carried out by contractor City 

Care between Opawa Rd and the 

Woolston Cut (an engineered 

channel). 

The work 

below Opawa 

Rd will remove 

more than 

20,000 cu m of 

sediment that 

has built up 

since regular 

dredging of the 

river stopped 

in the mid-1980s. 

The river will be closed to recreational 

vessels such as kayaks 

and canoes, between Opawa Rd 

and Radley Park, while dredging 

is under way. 

City council land drainage 

manager Keith Davison said it 

will restore capacity lost after 

the earthquakes and through 

ongoing silt deposits in the lower 

Heathcote River channel. 

“By restoring the capacity of 

the river channel, the risk of 

properties and streets flooding 

during heavy rainfall will be 

reduced, benefiting local residents 

and those who live further 

upstream,” he said. 

“There will be some disruption 

while this project is carried out 

but the contractor will minimise 

that as much as possible and we 

think the benefits to residents in 

the long-term will be valuable.” 

Mr Davison said the dredging 

will also remove contaminated 

sediment which entered the river 

from commercial and street 

storm water run-off to improve 

the habitat in the river. 

“This will complement benefits 

from the new storm water filter 

being built nearby on Richardson 

Tce.” 

“We’ll be planting native trees 

and plants during the landscaping 

phase following the dredging work 

which will enhance the ecological 

and landscape values of the area.” 

The project will be carried out 

in two stages. 

Stage one, between Radley 

St and the Woolston Cut, will 

begin with tree removals from 

riverbanks this week before 

dredging with an excavator and 

barge starts at Connal Reserve in 

mid-October. 

Work on this reach below Radley 

St will continue until June, 

including tidying up the site and 

landscaping from April.

Heathcote River dredging to reduce flooding risk 

Keith Davison 

PROGRESS: 

The city council 

is set to begin 

dredging on 

the Heathcote 

River. 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Walkways on both sides of 

the river will be closed during 

some periods of the work, with 

safety fencing and signage in 

place. Access will remain open 

through Radley Park and to 

Laura Kent Reserve through 

Laura Kent Pl. 

Stage two, between Opawa 

Rd and Radley St, will also 

start mid-October with dredging 

by an excavator based on the 

Clarendon Tce side of the river. 

Dredging on the stage two 

reach will be split into two phases 

to minimise the impact on 

whitebait during their spawning 

season of March to June. 

It is expected to be complete by 

September. 

There will be some parking 

restrictions and traffic disruption, 

including single-laning, on 

Clarendon Tce while trucks are 

being loaded. 

The city council has asked residents 

to keep children and pets at 

a safe distance from the worksite 

and construction machinery 

while the project is under way. 

Investigation and design work 

for the Stage three reach from 

Opawa Rd to Hansen Park is 

under way and dredging of this 

section is expected to happen late 

next year through to early 2020.

“Lots of the workshops on the

what you can do to reduce waste, 

ways you can be more sustainable

like that.”

Mr Sintes also applauded the

Riccarton residents say 

no to more booze 


RICCARTON RESIDENTS are 

trying to sink a pool hall’s bid to 

get a liquor licence. 

The Common Room on Riccarton 

Rd has applied to sell alcohol 

at the premises from 8-2am daily. 

Residents nearby believe this 

could cause a return to anti-social 

behaviour that marred the Riccarton 

bus lounges. 

The pool hall is located opposite 

the eastbound Riccarton Rd 

bus lounge and about 50m from 

the westbound bus lounge. 

The Common Room is owned 

by fast-food restaurant Arcadia 

owner Matthew Glanville. 

It was previously known as 

More Pool. 

Mr Glanville could not be 

reached for comment. 

Riccarton Bush-Kilmarnock 

Residents’ Association chairman 

Tony Simons said the residents 

are against the proposed hours. 

The residents submitted their 

objection to the city council’s 

district licencing committee.

submission stated. 

“A bar/tavern will potentially 

inflame those problems again.” 

Neighbours say there are three 

other bars in the area. A new liquor 

provider will add to drunken 

behaviour. 

Riccarton Ward community 

board member and Rata St 

resident Helen Broughton is also 

against the licence. 

“I’m concerned from a planning 

perspective that it could be 

turned into a bar completely,” Ms 

Broughton said. 

“In our city plan, night life is 

meant to be for the central city 

and Riccarton is more for community 

activities,” she said. 

Riccarton Community Constable 

Aaron Thorn did not believe 

the new license will increase 

drunken behaviour. 

“You’ve got liquor agencies 

around that immediate areas, so 

I don’t know if one more is really 

going to terribly make a much of 

difference,” Constable Thorn said. 

The behaviour at the bus lounges 

has also improved. Should 

drunken behaviour increase, 

police will intervene, Constable 

Thorn said. 

Ms Broughton expects a 

licencing committee decision in 

the next two to three weeks.

Library exhibit recalls worst pandemic 

• By Matt Salmons 

A NEW exhibition at Lyttelton 

Library recalls an era when the 

flu killed half as many New 

Zealanders as World War 1. 

Returning soldiers brought 

with them an influenza strain 

which killed more than 9000 

over about six weeks in 1918. 

In commemoration, Lyttelton 

Library is hosting a joint 

exhibition with Lyttelton 

Museum until October 27. 

Lyttelton Library team leader 

Annette Williams said the When 

Death Jumped Ship exhibit 

included a replica medicine 

depot, complete with inhalation 

apparatus, as well as information 

boards and medicine bottles 

from the time. 

“They had medicine depots 

set up all around the city, ours is 

the combination of a couple of 

them,” she said. 

As well as medicine, people 

could get “alcoholic stimulants” 

from the depots, Ms Williams 

said. 

“On prescription, you could 

get a bottle of whiskey, brandy or 

stout.” 

Inhalation apparatus and 

larger chambers, which 

produced a weak zinc-sulphate

could be likely due to the ease of international travel. 

spray for people to breathe in, 

were also a common sight. Ms 

Williams said there was one 

in Lyttelton to service those 

disembarking from ferries and 

ships. 

In Christchurch, 14 trams were 

used as inhalation centres, with 

the air-breaking system used 

to run the sprayers. The trams 

were taken to outlying suburbs 

so people could climb aboard to 

walk through the steam cloud. 

Ms Williams said the image 

of people lining up for the spray, 

sometimes in queues of up to 

700, was like something from a 

science-fiction novel. 

“I think it’s a wee bit scary that 

they did that.” 

Ms Williams said it was 

an important event in New 

Zealand’s history and 

something people could learn 

from. 

“This was an event which 

impacted the home front in a 

very different way.” 

Canterbury University 

Emeritus Professor Geoffrey Rice 

said the pandemic remained the 

world’s worst since the Black 

Death and changed the outcome 

of World War 1. 

Prof Rice will host a public 

lecture tomorrow at Lyttelton 

Library on how lessons learned 

in 1918 can help prepare for 

future outbreaks. 

He said he believed the risk 

of another major pandemic 

was greater due to the ease of 

international travel. 

•Public talk tomorrow, 

7pm-8pm, Lyttelton Library. 

Emeritus Professor Geoffrey 

Rice will look at the question: 

could it happen again? Free

News 

• By Sophie Cornish 

AS NEW Zealanders face the 

end of the plastic bag era, one 

woman is helping the cause with 

an ancient Maori tradition. 

Lana Hart is the 

founder of Kai Baskets, 

an initiative to help 

shoppers reduce their 

plastic consumption – 

and it’s proving popular. 

The company’s 

Facebook page has 

reached 250,000 people 

in 10 days. 

The baskets, made 

entirely of flax, are designed to 

hang on the side of trolleys and 

are used to hold fresh produce. 

Kai Baskets began its first 

pilot programme at the end 

last month at Raeward Fresh 

Lana Hart 

Tower Junction. Like trolleys, 

the baskets are free to use for 

customers. 

The project came about 

through Ms Hart’s own 

frustration when food shopping 

for her family of five. 

“I would end up walking 

home with a bunch of 

plastic bags that I didn’t 

want . . . I always just 

wanted them to provide 

something to cart the 

produce from the produce 

section to the checkout.” 

she said. 

Ms Hart said it “made 

sense” to use a plant material 

which is prevalent in New 

Zealand and has already been 

traditionally woven into Maori 

kete – flax baskets. 

A small team of about 30, 

many of whom are volunteers, 

worked on creating the baskets, 

which are made from the 

same design as wahakura baby 

baskets, which are made for 

newborns to help reduce cot 

death. 

The pilot is being funded by 

the Sustainable Initiatives Fund 

Trust. 

To keep them clean, the 

flax baskets are sanitised at the 

time as the trolleys and other 

baskets. 

One basket can take about 

45min to weave. 

However a lot of preparation 

work happens before this to 

prepare the flax for weaving. 

This includes stripping and 

measuring the flax, boiling it to 

get rid of germs and then airdrying 

it.

Warning over leopard seals 

• By Matt Salmons 

A MARINE biologist is warning 

people to be wary around 

leopard seals on Canterbury 

beaches. 

It comes after a leopard seal 

came on to Sumner Beach last 

week. 

The seal was photographed 

Sumner woman Hanna 

Zhionberg who had been heading 

out to paddleboard on Tuesday 

night. 

Marine mammal biologist 

Krista Hupman had been researching 

leopard seal sightings 

in New Zealand for about three 

years. 

She said in spite of most 

people’s impressions, visiting 

leopard seals were “not unusual 

at all,” with up to 50 seals visiting 

New Zealand each year. 

Dr Hupman said it was difficult 

to say why the creature 

was here. 

“It seems each leopard seal has 

their own agenda. It’s hard to say 

what each one is up to.” 

The Department of Conservation 

website recommended staying 

at least 20m away from any 

leopard seal and keeping dogs

leopard seal which came up 

on Sumner Beach. 

on a leash. 

Dr Hupman said the animals 

could inflict serious injury, but 

would not normally attack people 

as they were usually on the 

best to rest. 

“They’re not this aggressive 

animal that people have in 

their minds,” Dr Hupman said. 

Ms Zhionberg said she had 

not heard of a leopard seal visiting 

the area in the two years she 

had lived in Sumner. 

“I was honestly, really excited. 

Antarctica for me is at the 

top of my bucket list. Getting 

something from Antarctica to 

come here is really awesome.” 

•If you see a leopard seal 

report it to 0800 LEOPARD. 

Dr Hupman or her team 

will be able to provide

Keeping our drinking water safe 

In this week’s 

Soapbox, city 

councillor 

Spreydon 

Ward Phil 

Clearwater 

writes about 

keeping our 

drinking water safe 

CHRISTCHURCH HAS always 

had pride in our pristine water 

coming from the aquifers 

beneath our city. 

Unlike all other New Zealand 

cities we have never had to 

chlorinate our water on a 

long term basis to ensure it 

is safe. Our water has always 

been regularly tested with few 

transgressions. 

However, after the Havelock 

North inquiry, the Drinking 

Water Standards were applied 

at a stricter level and the 

government’s Water Assessor 

required city council to 

chlorinate our water. Our city 

council had no option other than 

to chlorinate the water. 

However, an advantage of city 

council making the decision 

was that it retains the decisionmaking 

authority as to how we 

remove the chlorine from our 

water within a 12-month time 

frame. 

To achieve this goal, city 

council staff have worked hard 

to develop several protective 

‘barriers’ to ensure our water is 

absolutely safe. Chlorine is only 

one of these ‘barriers.’ From the 

first stage of work on alternative 

options, we have 11 pumps from 

wells that are above-ground 

and where chlorine is not 

required for nearly 25 per cent of 

Christchurch. 

Also we have been able 

to reduce the chlorine dose 

at another 15 wells. In the 

second stage there are another 

49 wells covering 50 per 

cent of Christchurch where 

we will either remediate the 

below-ground wellheads 

(which are more susceptible to 

contamination) or we will use 

ultraviolet treatment at pump 

stations. 

Last week council approved a 

$2.5 million ultraviolet treatment 

system near south Colombo St at 

one of our largest pump stations. 

Christchurch’s water has 

always been safe compared to 

the Havelock North water well 

system but this has not been 

the case with some rural water 

supplies in the Canterbury 

region which have been relatively 

unsafe. 

To resolve this wider problem 

Government has a proposal 

to consider some models for 

regional drinking water schemes, 

including the possibility of a 

regional water authority. 

However, Christchurch should 

not be responsible for upgrading 

other city councils’ water 

supplies. 

Also, personally, I am 

determined that Christchurch 

residents should not have to 

pay any more than we are 

currently paying to fix our water 

infrastructure. I’m convinced 

that Christchurch does not need 

a water authority like Auckland 

but we need to consider 

alternative models to ensure 

the continuation of safe, secure 

water. 

Our city council has done a 

huge amount of work to develop 

a range of treatment options 

for safe drinking water and 

to achieve the goal of having 

chlorine out of our water. 

However. I believe we also 

need to ensure that Christchurch 

city retains local control of our 

drinking water. 

Road barriers broken by 4WD vehicle 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

LATE NIGHT vandalism and 

rubbish is continuing to concern 

residents in Dallington living on 

the edge of the red zone. 

A sport utility vehicle drove at 

high speed through barriers on 

both ends of Dallington Tce nine 

days ago. 

Land Information New 

Zealand’s security team 

responded but were unable to 

locate the vehicle. 

Dallington resident Pat 

Boland said the car was a large 

dark coloured four-wheel-drive 

with bull bars. He was about 

100m away but could not get the 

vehicle’s registration. 

“What he did was very 

dangerous, he drove through at 

high speed,” he said. 

The barriers were repaired on 

Wednesday. 

Mr Boland said it is going 

to continue to be a common 

problem in the red zone area 

in Dallington due to people no 

longer living there. 

Rubbish dumping, burnouts 

and doing donuts on the grass 

are common in the red zone 

area of Dallington, Mr Boland 

said. 

He said a lot of residents live 

on back sections which don’t 

face into the street anymore.

soaring 

ALTHOUGH Be Active

Canterbury, their popularity is 

soaring. 

At a time when participants 

crave more choices – but don’t

referred to Sport Canterbury’s 

Green Prescription service, either 

by their GP, or self-referred 

by ringing Sport Canterbury, are 

eligible for eight-week Be Active 

programmes across the city and 

region. 

Those participating in the 

Green Prescription service have 

access to eight-week Be Active 

programmes – at a cost of $3 a

The non-judgemental atmosphere 

is a hallmark of the Be Active

Marian College students help 

clean up New Brighton Beach 

CLEAN GREEN KIWIS: A group of high school students have cleaned up New Brighton Beach. 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

NEW BRIGHTON Beach is 

looking a whole lot sharper 

after a group of Marian College 

students helped tidy it up. 

The clean-up on Wednesday 

was organised by One School 


Network – a group of students 

from different schools across the 

city. 

The group also included 

students from Shirley Boys’ 

High, Mairehau High, Burnside 

High and St Bede’s College. 

Marian College deputy head 

girl Olivia Altenburg-Carey 

said the students wanted to do 

something in the community 

before they went on study leave 

for exams. 

“You don’t need much for a 

beach clean up. It’s always fun 

to get together and we could do

some good at the same time,” 

Olivia said. Bags of rubbish were 

collected by the students. 

“Ten bags of rubbish, 

which doesn’t sound like much, 

but it’s 10 bags of rubbish no 

longer on the beach, which is 

great.”

Halswell’s history on show 

•From page 1 

Mr Ridder lived in Halswell for 

81 years, until he passed away in 

2002, aged 85. 

“I got to know Doug very well 

and he had a wonderful collection 

of history of the Halswell Quarry, 

and the early settlers of Halswell,” 

Mr Moore said. 

“When he retired and went 

up to Napier to live, he gave me 

all his boxes of photographs and 

handwritten notes that he had,” 

he said. 

A lot of the history work 

focused on the Halswell Quarry, 

which opened in the 1860s and 

closed in 1990. 

Mr Ridder’s research showed 

that much of the broken metal in 

the quarry’s early years was used 

to form roads replacing tracks that 

were prone to winter flooding. 

One of the tracks, that ran from 

the south to the then new city of 

Christchurch, was named Lincoln 

Rd, now known as Halswell Rd. 

The photographs will be 

displayed at the Halswell Quarry 

Information Centre on Saturday 

and Sunday from 9am to 5pm.

source it from one of the other branches in 

the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE 

is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of 

car, truck and commercial parts. 

Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair

Charity rally that follows road rules 



MOTORISTS WILL have 

a chance to show off their 

driving skills for a rally on 

Sunday. 

It is organised by Countdown 

Church Corner, to raise money 

for Christchurch Hospital’s 

children’s ward. 

The rally is the brainchild of 

the store’s produce manager 

Murray Young, who came up 

with a concept of a car rally that 

follows road rules. 

Mr Young said the rally has 

been running for seven years. 

“We had to come up with ideas 

for fundraising and I’ve always 

had an interest for cars. 

“So it was natural for me to 

suggest a car rally or car trial,” 

Mr Young said. 

The rally begins at The Princess 

Margaret Hospital car park and 

participants are given a series of 

questions. 

The answers give drivers a clue 

as to what route the drivers have 

to follow. 

“We take note of the time when 

the driver leaves, their mileage 

when they start off and the mileage 

when they finish,” Mr Young 

said. 

“Who answers the questions 

READY: Countdown Church 

Corner produce manager 

Murray Young with his 1975 

Rover 3500. 

correctly, who has the correct 

mileage at the end and who 

finishes within the required time, 

gets a prize” he said. 

Mr Young stressed that it was 

not a race, instead it was about 

finding the right route. 

Last year, the rally attracted 

20 cars and raised $500 for 

Christchurch Hospital’s children’s 

ward. 

Each car can have co-drivers 

or passengers helping the drivers 

answer the questions and find the 

correct route. 

A barbecue will be held after 

rally. 

•Entry costs $20 per car, 

and people who want to join 

should meet at the Princess 

Margaret Hospital car park at 

1pm on Sunday. 

SUCCESS: Cathedral 

Grammar has won the 

National Junior Theatre 

RoboCup Championship.

HEALTH & AWARENESS

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 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. 

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample 

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Centuries old folk 

remedy supports 

good health! 

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of powerful health 

benefits. It is none other than the popular apple cider vinegar or ACV. 

Since the time of Hippocrates – the 

“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been 

renowned for its curative properties. 

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and 

FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis 

reports how he found that Vermonters 

who regularly consumed ACV and Honey 

had excellent health with many putting in 

a vigorous day’s work on the farm even 

when well into their eighties. He also noted 

the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be 

remarkable with many patients reporting 

almost total relief after taking a course 

of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that 

the acid and potassium in cider vinegar 

counteracted calcium deposits and helped 

the body control calcium use. He also noted 

that Vermonters who consumed ACV and 

H around meal time had excellent blood 

pressure and circulation. The reason he 

found was that protein foods thickened the 

blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood 

thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly 

through the blood vessels and capillaries. 

This poor blood flow would reduce cellular 

health by limiting nutrients to the cells as 

well as waste elimination from the cells. 

To prevent cell damage the body naturally 

increases blood pressure but this puts 

more stress on the blood vessels, organs 

and heart. Having ACV and H with meals 

will help prevent protein raising the blood 

pressure. It also contributes to a feeling 

of greater well-being because the thinner 

blood circulates quickly and more easily 

through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found 

regular consumption of CV and H to be 

an excellent health tonic with numerous 

health attributes. 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all 

the goodness of the apple in a form that is 

readily accepted by the body. Good health 

starts with good digestion and assimilation 

of nutrients. ACV taken before food will 

stimulate and promote healthy digestion 

and assimilation of vital nutrients for good 

health. A well-functioning digestive system 

helps prevent disease by neutralising any 

toxic substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all ACV is 

produced in the traditional way and results 

are likely to prove disappointing with these 

other vinegars. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV 

with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in 

Canterbury from Organic whole apples in 

the traditional way. It is double strength so 

you can use less.

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable 

Skin Rejuvenator 

Until Rachel 

Hunter’s popular 

TV series “TOUR OF 

BEAUTY” Dilo Oil was 

relatively unknown being 

one of the best-kept secrets of 

the Pacific Islands. It may however 

be the number one natural beauty oil 

available as it possesses powerful natural 

skin regeneration, anti-aging and healing 

properties. 

According to ethnobotanist Chris 

Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low) 

Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as 

it is one of the most effective agents 

in promoting the regeneration and 

formation of new tissue, thereby 

accelerating wound healing and the 

growth of healthy skin. Dilo Oil is 

super-absorbing and nourishing 

and can penetrate all three layers 

of the skin, offering exceptional 

cell hydration and regeneration. 

As well as this, Dilo Oil has potent 

anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, 

antifungal and antioxidant properties. 

Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the 

skin young and youthful and for just about 

any skin complaint. Some of the conditions 

for which it is considered helpful include 

abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and acne 

scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch marks, 

wrinkles, blisters, burns (including chemical 

and radiation), diabetic sores, rashes, shaving 

irritation, dry or scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis, 

NATURAL HEALING & BEAUTY OIL 

As seen on Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty 

Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable 

skin anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred 

Dilo tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil 

as it can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration 

& regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin 

cells & this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help 

reduce lines, blemishes, scars & damage to the skin. It also possesses 

anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal & antioxidant properties. 

Dilo Oil Supports 

• Anti-aging & skin regeneration, helps reduce lines, blemishes, scars & 

stretch marks 

• Skin hydration 

• Skin repair & growth, helps feed the skin & stimulate healthy new cells 

• Wound healing & skin protection from bacteria, viruses & fungus 

• Most skin problems, rosacea, pimples, ulcers & sores, acne, psoriasis, 

eczema, dermatitis, rashes, blisters, skin eruptions, warts, insect bites & 

stings, athlete’s foot, burns, nappy rash etc. 

• Joint & muscular pain
