Father’s WW1 experience in print 

• By Matt Slaughter 

IN MARCH 1918, soldier 

William Close was taken 

prisoner by the Germans at 

the Somme. 

This may have saved his 

life. 

Just weeks later, the 

majority of the soldiers he 

had served beside in the 11th 

and 13th battalion of Royal 

Sussex Regiment were killed 

during Germany’s Spring 

Offensive. 

William’s story has 

now been told by his son, 

South New Brighton 

resident and former city 

councillor David Close in 

his new book Behind the 

German Lines. 

David said part of the 

book was a reflective account 

William had written shortly 

after he returned home from 

World War 1 and some brief 

diary entries he had kept in 

1916. 

Said David: “It’s a 

fairly brief account, but it’s 

about half the book and the 

rest of it, I’ve provided maps 

to help people understand 

the war on the Western 

Front and in particular, the 

big German offence, which 

was launched on March 20, 

1918.”

challenge 

to critics 


DAVID EAST has issued a 

challenge to those who say he 

hasn’t done enough for the 

Coastal Ward – stand for council 

yourself. 

The two-term city councillor 

has become the target of 

online criticism on the Peoples 

Independent 

Republic of 

New Brighton 

Facebook group. 

New Brighton 

Residents’ Association 

head 

Brian Donovan is 

one of the group 

members who David East 

has been critical 

of Cr East. 

Mr Donovan told Pegasus 

Post it was time for David East 

to go. 

“The reality is that he fell out 

of touch with what people were 

saying, because there was a hell 

of a lot of people in New Brighton 

with some great ideas and he just 

seems to have been absent when 

some of those ideas were put 

forward.”

IT MUST be election time. 

The gloves are coming off in the two 

eastern suburbs’ wards, Coastal and 

Burwood, and it’s getting feisty. 

We’ve reported on the verbal dustup 

between sitting councillor Glenn 

Livingstone and rival Phil Mauger in Burwood. Now Coastal 

councillor David East is feeling the burner (see page 1). 

He’s been criticised on the Peoples Independent Republic of 

New Brighton Facebook group, and New Brighton Residents’ 

Association head Brian Donovan is amping it up. 

He says it is time for East to go. But East has fired back with a 

good response. 

“Mr Donovan should really just put his money where his 

mouth is. If he thinks he can do better, well I think he should 

stand for council himself and test the water.”

Bid to improve bus shelter access 


CONCERNS over accessibility 

will be addressed before a 

proposal to install another 

bus shelter on Shirley Rd is 

approved. 

The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board says the 

planned new bus shelter and 

the existing shelter outside 

Shirley Intermediate School do 

not provide enough room for 

wheelchair users and people 

with mobility issues. 

Board member Jo Byrne said 

it has asked 

city council 

staff to talk to 

the Ministry 

of Education 

about using 

its berm space 

outside the 

school to create 

Jo Byrne 

extra room at 

the stop for 

people with mobility issues. 

Said Ms Byrne: “If we could 

set that bus stop back a little 

bit further onto the ministryowned 

land, that will give us 

more footpath space.” 

The plan to upgrade the 

existing bus shelter and include 

space for another shelter has 

been with the board since early 

this year. 

The request to add more space 

was put to city council staff at 

the board’s recent meeting. 

Said a city council 

spokesperson: “A number of 

discussions have been had with 

the MoE previously and council 

have now re-engaged with 

the MoE following last week’s 

meeting to explore this further. 

Discussions are ongoing. There 

is no set deadline for this 

decision to be made.” 

Ms Byrne said upgrading the 

bus stop has taken longer than 

hoped but the board wants to get 

it right for people with mobility 

and accessibility issues. 

“Consultation for this 

was quite some time ago, 

unfortunately, because it’s 

been quite a prolonged affair. It 

is sort of painful, but we want 

to make sure it’s done right 

and we want to make sure our 

cyclists are safe and the road 

users are safe and the bus users 

are safe. Mobility issues and 

accessibility issues are a huge

passion for the board . . . we 

know how important it is to the 

community and so many people 

are reliant on public transport, 

especially going to (The Palms), 

so we will be prioritising their 

needs.” 

The board has asked city 

council staff to report back to it. 

Ms Byrne said she does not 

know when staff will make a 

decision, but hopes it will be 

soon so the bus stop upgrade 

can start.

Boy racers part of a wider issue 

Coastal- 

Burwood 

Community 

Board 

member 

Linda Stewart 

writes about 

the July 9 

Pegasus Post article 

on boy racers causing 

problems in Avondale, 

saying this is one of 

many challenges facing 

Avondale, Dallington and 

Burwood East 

THE RECENT boy racer story 

in Avondale is a tiny part of 

a bigger issue and not just in 

Avondale. 

For eight years the 

communities of Dallington, 

Avondale and Burwood East 

have been left languishing by 

Regenerate and the city council 

without recovery initiatives. 

THese red zone fringe suburbs 

suffered negative impacts 

post-earthquakes sorely felt 

by residents. Systematic losses 

in their community post-red 

zoning, losing their local shops, 

neighbours, their primary 

school and removing their bus 

service. 

THe post-earthquake losses 

for the city were huge but none 

more than Avondale. It’s a 

beautiful suburb with Avondale 

Park once the heart of the 

suburb now adjacent to the red 

Carolyn Cumming, of 

Burwood, responds to the 

article on boy racers 

WHO WOULD have known 

that the council puts so much 

weight on complaint levels in 

making their decisions around 

providing safe and calm environments 

in our city? 

Who is going to sit down at 

2am, or make a relaxing evening 

even more disruptive to 

hunt out who to call to report 

someone who will have already

its locals. 

THe red zone offers so much 

but no imaginative proposals 

have been proposed by those 

with the power to be creative. 

moved on by the time any action 

is taken? 

Apart from that, I observe 

there is already quite enough 

complaining going on 

in this city if the number 

of unhappy horntooters 

on our roads is 

anything to go by. 

What happened to 

just taking the word of 

some concerned residents 

and looking into 

the issue from a less punitive 

viewpoint? 

The Horseshoe Lake Reserve is 

Their once successful advocates 

– the Avondale Residents 

Association members were all 

red zoned out and the suburb 

lost all but loyal advocacy at 

a very high level by their redzoned 

chairperson. 

The community board asked 

in its submission to the city 

council’s last Long Term Plan 

and again this year to the 

Annual Plan for investment 

in these red zone fringe 

suburbs and a community 

facility to provide a heart for 

the earthquake-impacted 

being worked on now and a new 

car park being situated along 

Horseshoe Lake Rd. 

Many of us who live near 

or use the road 

already know of 

some of the antisocial 

behaviour 

this piece of road 

attracts; skid 

marks on the road 

and corner, often 

causing wonder at 

vehicles making it around the 

corner (some haven’t), rubbish 

of all description left on the 

communities of 

Avondale, Dallington and 

Burwood. 

If nothing is done for 

those still broken suburbs 

you will see a further decline 

in social standards such as the 

boy racer issue highlighted by 

city councillor Glenn 

Livingstone. 

The fix for the boy racer issue 

is merely the tip of the iceberg

political environment does 

not provide a solution to this 

problem. 

roadside on a weekly basis; and 

even a horse killed in an adjacent 

paddock. 

We don’t need a list of complaints 

to know that a car park 

alone will not improve this sort 

of behaviour – in fact it will give 

more room for it. 

So my questions are will there 

be speed bumps, lighting, paths 

and curbs included in the planning? 

Or do we need a list of complaints 

to have been in place for 

these things to be considered in 

the planning?

However, Cr East has struck back, 

saying: “Mr Donovan should really

I think he should stand for council

his opposition towards him. 

“While I stand by what I’ve said,

it would be contrary to what I’ve already 

been saying, which is we need 

less older, white males on these committees

Said Mr Donovan: “He’s really 

failed to assess the mood, the need 

or the desperation and the exasperation 

of the New Brighton people to 

see some real progress, and I mean, 

aside from the hot pools and the 

playground.” 

Cr East said he had worked hard 

for the Coastal Ward and called Mr 

Donovan’s comments “absolutely 

gobsmacking.” 

“To turn around and have this sort 

of rubbish thrown in my face, I find 

quite offensive to be quite honest.” 

Mr Donovan said the New Brighton 

Residents’ Association as a whole, 

agreed it was time for a change and 

was encouraging young people to 

run for city council and other roles 

within local body politics. 

Cr East said he supported this, but 

these roles were not easy to step into. 

“It’s the democratic right of 

anybody to stand for council and I 

encourage them to do so. 

“Some people think that they 

can get elected, come in, wave a big 

stick and things are going to get 

done. Well, it just doesn’t work that 

way and there are processes to go

Floating wetlands form

A QUAKE-DAMAGED

which runs into Horseshoe

The concrete drain, known

WORK ON the final stage of 

the $12.9 million rebuild of the 

earthquake-damaged Richmond 

Working Men’s Club has started. 

Club president Chris Taylor 

broke the ground with a ceremonial 

spade last week before 

construction workers moved in 

to start the project. 

Work will be finished in July 

next year. 

The final stage of the construction 

will be a new function 

venue that will accommodate 

weddings, corporate dinners, 

show events and other functions. 

The completed complex will 

have three high-grade squash 

courts, a new restaurant and 

bistro, a TAB terminal and game 

room, and plenty of parking. 

The first part of the rebuild is 

finished, so the club is open for 

meetings and events. 

Mr Taylor has been the president 

of the club for the last three 

years and has been a member of 

the committee for 17 years. 

“It’s been a long road, but we’re 

finally under way,” he said. 

Cook Brothers Construction 

won the bid for the construction 

of the project after going 

through the robust tender process 

which was run by the club. 

The design of the new 

clubroom was decided by way 

of input and discussions which 

involved all club members as 

we counted 76 fish in just a 

small portion of the drain so 

naturalising the drain has clearly 

improved the aquatic habitat,’’ 

Mr Davison said. 

“We’re thrilled to be able to 

help improve the health of our 

waterways, while reducing flood 

risk for people,’’ Mr Davison 

said.

well as the committee. 

The Richmond club, which has 

been around for more than 100 

years, is one of the oldest clubs 

in New Zealand and it is hoped 

that the new design will blow its 

members away. 

The plan for the club is to 

secure its future with strong 

strategies around its food and 

beverage offerings, with a focus 

on the local community and 

perhaps targeting a wider demographic. 


THE WAINONI Avonside 

Community Services Trust has 

found its new home. 

The trust will move from its 

old headquarters at Wainoni 

Methodist Church on Avonside 

Drive to the second floor of a 

newly constructed, two-storey 

building behind the Burwood 

Christian Centre at 52 Bassett St. 

Trust co-ordinator Betty 

Chapman said it hoped to move 

in by the end of August, but this 

would happen after a lift was 

installed to help members who 

struggled with stairs. 

Mrs Chapman said she had 

been searching for a new site for 

the trust for more than a year. 

Earlier this year, Land Information 

New Zealand decided 

the earthquake-damaged, leaky 

Wainoni Methodist Church site 

was unsafe to work in. 

It was originally thought the 

trust would move into All Saints 

Anglican Church in Burwood, 

but Mrs Chapman said the rent 

would have been too expensive. 

“They put the rent up to $300, 

plus power, plus phone. We 

couldn’t afford that.” 

The rent at its new site will cost 

the same as it did at Wainoni

NEW HOME: Wainoni Avonside Community Services Trust 

co-ordinator Betty Chapman outside the trust’s new home 

behind the Burwood Christian Centre. 

New home found for 

community group 

Methodist Church, $200 a week. 

In spite of securing a new site 

meaning the trust’s future was 

safe, Mrs Chapman said moving 

would be hard on the about 200 

people who used its services and 

attended its events. 

The trust’s new headquarters is 

only a short distance from its old 

one, but she still expected the 

move would result in the loss of 

some members. 

“It is hard because the elderly 

don’t like change . . . they don’t 

want to shift. 

“It’s hard on elderly to move.” 

The trust has been operating 

out of Wainoni Methodist 

Church for more than 17 years 

and Mrs Chapman said some 

were struggling with the idea of 

leaving. 

However, a visit to the new site 

on Wednesday had seen reluctant 

members change their tune. 

“Everyone’s finding it hard. 

“But, yesterday after the walk 

through, I got a lot of positive 

vibes, so I’m quite relieved.” 

She said, ultimately, it would 

be great to be in a building that 

didn’t leak. 

Wainoni Methodist Church 

will be demolished once the 

trust moves.

CELEBRATING: The Close family in Christchurch on Christmas 

Day, 1950. From left – Edwin, Will and David; Daphne, Fay, Elsie 

and Lottie. 

‘My father was not badly treated by the Germans’ 

•From page 1 

William, who served as a 

signaller and often a stretcherbearer, 

was captured on the 

second day of this offensive at 

Villers-Faucon in France. 

David said the book outlined 

William’s experiences as a 

prisoner in France and briefly 

Belgium, forced to do jobs such 

as repairing roads and building 

railways to assist the German 

war effort. 

But, David said his father’s 

account was not as negative as 

many would expect. 

“On the whole, my father 

was not badly treated by the 

Germans.” 

“The attitude to prisoners or to 

the other side seemed to be that 

no matter how hard you tried 

to slaughter the other side, once 

that soldier on the opposing 

side was wounded or captured, 

he ceased to be an enemy, he 

became a fellow human being.” 

William was freed by the Germans 

just before Armistice Day 

on November 11, 1918. 

In 1920, two years after returning 

home to England, William 

and his wife Lottie Close 

moved to Christchurch. They

lived in Bryndwr and ran a plant 

nursery, later moving to St Martins 

to open a market garden. 

David said his dad didn’t mind 

telling less serious stories about 

the war, but harsher details like 

the friends he’d lost were kept 

secret for many years. 

It wasn’t until just before his 

death at the age of 93, that William 

expressed a wish to have his 

account published. 

But, David said it had been lost 

for many years. 

“He told us that he’d written 

this account, but it was lost

David said he had wanted to

years, but his busy working life

board bid 

SOUTH NEW Brighton’s Soozie 

Bragg is running for the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board. 

Ms Bragg is a passionate resident 

of the Coastal Ward, who received 

a Coastal-Burwood 

Community Service 

Award earlier this 

month for the work 

she has done in the 

community. 

Ms Bragg has 

been vocal about a 

number of issues 

Soozie Bragg 

affecting the Coastal Ward, including 

the need for residents to know 

their neighbours and co-operate 

with emergency services to keep 

themselves and others safe. 

In March, Ms Bragg organised 

the Save Our Suburbs Community

these groups and others to 

discuss how to make the east safer. 

Said Ms Bragg: “I know this area, 

I know the people, I know what is

Teens show circus skills 



TEENAGE CIRCUS performers 

have wowed crowds. 

The Christchurch Circus Trust 

put on three performances of 

Circus Berserkus at Roy Stokes 

Hall in New Brighton, with 14 

performers showing off their 

skills. 

Producer Chris Carrow 

said the performers rehearsed 

for about four months to put 

the show together and were 

supported by two backstage 

crew members during the 

shows. 

He said a range of talents were 

showcased and enjoyed by about 

500 audience members over 

three nights. 

The shows included aerial 

acrobatics, balancing acts, 

contortion, juggling and 

clowning. 

Said Mr Carrow: “We had 

some people say, you’re better 

than Cirque du Soleil.” 

“Sometimes, you would say, 

well a local circus, it’s just going 

to be something high schoolish, 

but we surpass that.” 

Mr Carrow said those 

involved in Circus Berserkus 

had done more than just improve 

their skills as performers by 

taking part. 

“Because most of them have 

been together for a while, there’s 

a bit of a family sort of feel 

around the troop. 

“They’re really supportive 

of each other and because of 

that the performance comes 

together as this really joyful 

experience.” 

Most of the performers have 

been involved with the trust 

for three to four years and have 

performed in other shows. 

Mr Carrow said in spite of the 

difficult skills they demonstrated, 

most people could learn to do 

them with practice. 

HIGH-FLYER: Burwood’s Kama Hall was one of 14 teenage 

performers who impressed crowds at Circus Berserkus.

Award-winning fish & chip shop 

seeks a place in The Bidfood 

Peoples Choice Award’s 

Popular fish and chip shop, Gourmet Seafoods 

QE11 in Travis Road, has won several awards 

over the years, with the latest one being the ‘Best 

Practice Frying Award’ from The NZ Chip Group, 

an organisation that monitors the nutritional 

standards of fried chips around New Zealand. 

Shop owner Peter and son Ben both received the 

award after completing the online training, which 

also makes Gourmet Seafoods eligible for entry in 

The Chip Group’s Bidfood People’s Choice Award, 

in which customers vote online for their favourite 

chip shop. The website is www.thechipgroup.co.nz 

and Gourmet Seafoods QE11 is one of 28 takeaway 

shops around New Zealand qualified to take part. 

‘You can vote instore or you can vote at home,” 

Peter says. “Entries close on July 30, so be quick to 

vote and be part of the success story.” 

Gourmet Seafoods has some new neighbours, 

those being the new Shirley Boys’ High and 

Avonside Girls’ school campus on Travis Road, 

which opened in May, and the new gymnasium 

next to the QE11 pool, which opened earlier this 

month. 

“We welcome all the new people to the 

community,” Peter says. “The students come in 

after school and they are very good to deal with. 

They are polite and well-mannered. 

“We treat everyone that comes into the shop as 

individuals – they all have great stories, which are 

great to listen to.” 

Gourmet Seafoods has an extensive menu, with a 

wide variety of tasty takeaways including souvlakis, 

and spicy marinated chicken fillets, which Peter 

says are in great demand, as they are the “real deal”. 

Gourmet Seafoods QE11 is located in the 

Travis Road shopping centre at 251 Travis Rd. 

They are open seven days a week and off-street 

parking is available. 

Peter and his wife Helen are encouraging 

customers to vote for them

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with 

a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and 

senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. The images show 

how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back 

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain 

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot 

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder 

blade can give a deep pain in the front of 

the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way 

near the groin can give an ache in the knee 

(especially at night in bed). 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

and wellbeing. 

The same lack of movement can be the 

reason for your knee pain or your shoulder 

pain and the same few treatments could 

make a huge difference for you. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the joint, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

SHOULDER 

PAIN 

KNEE PAIN 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the joint in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

HIP PAIN 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment. 

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

Many services provided for families 

through Plunket 

Garden maintenance is carried out 

by volunteers at Plunket clinics, but 

more are needed. 

For families with young children, getting help and support from people 

with knowledge and expertise can be a hugely beneficial, for both 

parents and children. 

The Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust offers a variety of services for children 

under five and their whanau, from Well Child appointments with one of their 

highly qualified and friendly Plunket Nurses through to Playgroups and 

Parenting Education classes. 

What most people don’t realise is that Plunket, a non-for-profit 

organisation, is only partially funded through a contract with the Ministry 

of Health. Other financial support comes from the generosity of grants 

and donations from the community and fund-raising activities. 

Plunket provides a number of Community Services, which rely on money 

from fundraising, grants and donations, with a dedicated team of staff and 

volunteers. While administered and led at a Canterbury Area level, these 

Community Services are run for and by the communities where they are 

based, responding directly to community need. 

Through Community Services, services for families are provided for free 

or at a minimal cost. They include: 

Helping out at a working bee at the 

Papanui Merivale Plunket grounds. 

• Parenting Education (PEPE) 

• Toddler groups such 

as ‘Toes and Giggles’ 

• Coffee/Support/Parent Groups 

• Playgroups 

• Toy Libraries 

Can you help? 

Plunket is currently looking for volunteers to help support with some 

maintenance of their properties, such as mowing lawns, maintaining a 

garden, painting a fence or the odd handy-man job like fixing something 

to the wall. 

For example, there are two retired ladies that enjoy a catch-up while 

doing a bit of gardening at a local Plunket clinic, where staff say it is a 

‘win-win’ for both them and Plunket. 

If you know of anyone, from an able and willing retiree to a local Service 

Group that could help out, Plunket would be grateful if you would 

pass this on to them. For anyone who is interested or would like more 

information please phone or text Rebecca on 021 713 692. 

Like them on Facebook and keep up to date with what’s happening in

Sweet as: Appreciating the kumara 


Of all the 

wonderful 

vegetables we 

have available 

to us, kumara – 

or sweet potato 

as its known 

in other parts 

of the world – would have 

to be a favourite for Kiwis. 

Deanna Copland provides 

an example of a hearty 

winter soup, which is sure to 

please 

Spiced kumara soup with 

almonds 

Ingredients 

2 Tbsp coconut oil 

6-8 medium kumara, ends 

removed, scrubbed and grated 

3 cloves garlic, crushed 

2 tsp ground cumin 

2 tsp ground coriander 

Sea salt and black pepper 

1-litre chicken or vegetable stock 

2 cups unsweetened almond milk 

½ cup natural flaked almonds 

2 Tbsp dukkah 

Directions 

Heat a tablespoon of coconut 

oil in a large pot over high heat. 

Add the kumara, garlic, cumin, 

coriander, salt and pepper and 

cook, stirring, for 5min or until 

the kumara has softened. 

Add the stock and almond 

milk. Cover and bring to the boil. 

Reduce the heat to medium and 

cook for 15min until the soup 

has reduced slightly. 

While the soup is cooking, 

heat the remaining oil in a small 

fry pan over high heat. Add the 

almonds and dukkah and cook, 

stirring until golden and crisp. 

Divide the soup among four 

bowls and top with the almond 

mixture. 

Serve with a slice of crusty 

pumpkin seed sourdough for the 

ultimate winter meal. 

Enjoy a healthy salad with 

your kumara. For this recipe, 

soak your spelt overnight 

ready to eat the following 

evening. Perfect eaten warm, 

this salad also keeps well 

in the fridge for a couple of 

days, so save those leftovers 

for weekday lunches 

Roasted carrot, pearled 

spelt and orange salad 

Ingredients 

1 red onion, chopped 

300g baby carrots, greens intact 

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus 

extra for drizzling 

200g (1 cup) dry spelt (soaked 

overnight in cold water) 

1 medium orange 

2 generous handfuls of kale, 

finely shredded 

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 

6 whole dried figs, finely chopped 

A fistful of crushed roasted 

Hazelnuts 

Sea salt and cracked 

Black pepper 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 200 deg C. 

Place the red onion on a baking 

tray with the carrots (greens 

removed and set aside) and a 

drizzle of olive oil. Season with 

salt and pepper and roast for 

20min. 

Once the carrots and red 

onion have gone into the oven, 

thoroughly rinse the soaked spelt 

and boil over a medium heat for 

20min as well. 

Grate the zest from the orange 

and set aside. Squeeze the juice 

from the orange. 

Place the shredded kale in a 

large bowl along with the two 

tablespoons of olive oil, apple 

cider vinegar and orange juice, 

massaging it into the kale for 

5min. 

Add the cooked spelt, roasted 

carrots and onion and carrot 

greens to the bowl with the kale. 

Toss in the orange zest, finely 

chopped dried figs and crushed 

hazelnuts. Give everything a 

good mix and feel free to season 

further with cracked black 

pepper and sea salt, before 

drizzling with a little extra olive 

oil.

REAL ESTATE 

No ordinary life 

18 Carlton Mill Road, Merivale 

2 bedroom apartments from $699,000 - $749,000 - 2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 car-garage | 1 lift 

Penthouse $1,495,000 - 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 study | 2 car-garage | 1 lift 

Recent refurbishments have seen 

the iconic Kamahi Apartments utterly 

transformed to meet the needs of 

contemporary lives. Now earthquakestrengthened 

to 100% of the National 

Building Standard, this development 

offers an extraordinary lifestyle in a 

setting second-to-none. Right alongside 

the Avon River, with views across 

picturesque Hagley Park, it is zoned for 

top public schools (with a wide choice 

of private schools also nearby) and is 

strolling distance to Victoria Street 

restaurants or a short drive to Merivale 

Village. 

Apartments range from ground floor, 

levels 1 to 3 and then the Penthouse. All 

feature open-plan living and dining and 

some ground floor units open to outdoor 

living, set within a private courtyard 

garden. Warmed by a heat pump and 

decorated in neutral contemporary tones, 

this is a beautiful space for relaxing and 

entertaining. The kitchen alongside is 

a sleek and sophisticated workspace, 

with high-spec appliances including 

under-bench oven and ceramic cooktop. 

Two bedrooms share a stunning new 

bathroom, while a basement carpark 

and storage locker ensure the utmost 

practicality. Lift access and shared use of 

a beautifully landscaped garden elevate 

this property to an exceptional standard. 

Zoning for Elmwood School, Heaton 

Intermediate, Boys’ High and Girls’ 

High underpins the value of this highly 

desirable blue-chip location. Don’t miss 

the opportunity to be part of an icon.
