National 

women’s 

title for 

14yo surfer 

AT JUST 14-years-old Taylors 

Mistake’s Ava Henderson became 

the second youngest surfer to win 

the national women’s open surfing 

title at St Clair Beach in Dunedin 

on Saturday. 

Henderson not only became 

one of the youngest ever winners 

of the title, but also added to her 

under-18 title earlier in the day. 

It was an emphatic event for 

the Henderson family with 

Ava’s mother Donna winning 

the women’s over 40s title and 

finishing runner-up in the 

women’s longboard.

Plan for 

Sumner bus 

to take home 

Saturday 

night 

revellers 

• By Jess Gibson 

A NEW BUS service is being 

planned to get party-goers home 

from the central city to Sumner. 

Bentley Transport and 

Christchurch Shuttles and Tours 

are looking to start a six-month 

trial, running a service which 

will be called the Midnight 

Express. 

It would leave from Victoria 

St, near Carlton Bar and Eatery, 

at 1.15am, 2.15am and 3.15am 

on Sundays, stopping at popular 

nightspots such as Hereford St 

before heading to Sumner. 

The fare, which will cost up to 

$10, would follow the same route 

as Metro’s Purple Line and drop 

people along the way. 

Midnight Express Sumner 

service co-ordinator Roe van der 

Merwe said the bus would go off 

route, within reason, once it gets 

to the area to drop people closer 

to their door. 

Mr van der Merwe said the 

companies are hoping to get 

approval to run the trial from 

Environment Canterbury and the 

city council in the next few weeks.

Wednesday January 15 2020 

YOUNG AVA Henderson took another 

giant step forward in her very promising 

surfing career at the weekend (see page 1). 

The 14-year-old won the national 

women’s open title at St Clair, an amazing 

feat given her age. 

Ava was in red-hot form on Saturday, which was finals day, 

also winning the under-18s just hours before taking out the open 

title. 

In fact it was a great day all round for surfers from the Bay 

Harbour News area. 

Ava’s mother, Donna, won the women’s over-40s title and was 

runner-up in the women’s longboard; Amelie Wink, also 14, won 

the women’s stand-up paddleboard, beating Lucy Te Moananui, 

and Ambrose McNeill won the men’s longboard.

Crafted goods to help animals 

affected by Australian wildfires 


ANIMAL LOVER Georgia 

Greening was done feeling 

helpless over Australia’s 

bushfires. 

Desperately searching for a 

way to provide support, she came 

across the idea to make flannelette 

pouches to nurse burnt or 

orphaned animals. 

“I saw that Australia has none 

of these supplies. The medical 

supplies that they can use are so 

costly and that’s not what they 

need - they need quality, not 

quantity.” 

Now, Miss Greening, who 

lives in Sumner, has set herself 

the task of creating 250 of them 

before January 20, so they can be 

taken over with people travelling 

to Sydney. 

It is estimated more than a billion 

animals have now died in the 

fires, with some species at risk of 

becoming locally extinct. 

“Animals don’t have a voice 

and don’t know what’s going on, 

they are just trying to fight and 

survive for their species.” 

As of yesterday, Miss Greening 

had sewn about 170 using old 

sheets donated by people in her 

community. 

One type of pouch is designed 

specifically for bats and has a 

SECURE: Koalas, bats, joeys 

and geckos will benefit from 

Georgia Greening’s pouches 

and wraps. IMAGE: GETTY 

padded cushion at the end. 

“A lot of the bats affected by 

the fires are very [small], so the 

cushion acts as mother support. 

These get wrapped around them 

which keeps it dark and it keeps 

their wings nice and secure.” 

The other item is a more “universal” 

flat wrap, which can be 

used to make pouches for other 

animals including koalas, joeys 

and geckos.

goods for affected animals,

groups/arfsncrafts/ 

HELPING OUT: Georgia Greening has made about 170 wraps to 

help nurse animals injured or orphaned in Australia’s wildfires. 

Her target is 250.

The first Banks Peninsula 

Community Board meeting for 

the year will be held on February

SHEEP STUCK IN DRAIN 

Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade 

attended a callout to a sheep stuck 

in a drain near a walking track 

on Scarborough Hill, on Sunday. 

A family that found the sheep 

attempted to rescue it but it was 

too big. The brigade was called 

out at 8.46am and SPCA arrived 

about 10.23am. The brigade was 

able to free the sheep, but due to 

injuries it was euthanised.

Bid to eradicate possums 

RESIDENTS CAN have their 

say over plans to ramp up the 

eradication of possums in Banks 

Peninsula. 

A new control programme by 

Pest Free Banks Peninsula aims 

to protect native wildlife and 

vegetation across a 115,000ha 

area. 

Spokesperson Dr David Miller 

said it is part of a 30-year initiative 

to protect biodiversity and 

support sustainable agriculture 

and tourism. 

“Possums are causing havoc 

to our native vegetation and 

wildlife, so we’re looking to start 

a new programme with the aim 

of eradicating possums from 

south-eastern Banks Peninsula 

over the next five years. From 

there we will progressively work 

outwards across the peninsula. 

“This is an ambitious project 

and we will need the support 

and involvement landowners 

and residents to achieve the 

long-term vision.” 

The new programme replaces 

the previous possum control 

programme run by Environment 

Canterbury. 

“We understand some landowners 

would like to see possums 

controlled over the entire 

peninsula. It is, however, widely 

accepted that the previous possum 

programme was no longer 

CONTROL: Pest Free 

Peninsula plans to trial new 

methods of eradicating 

possums across Banks 

Peninsula over the next six 

months to figure out the most 

effective and affordable way 

of keeping numbers down. 

achieving its desired impact. 

We need to look at new ways of 

doing things. 

“Over the next six months 

we will trial new methods of 

controlling possums to see if 

we can provide effective and affordable 

suppression beyond the 

eradication area to keep possum 

numbers down,” said Dr Miller. 

Residents can learn more 

about the proposed programme 

and meet project representatives 

during Banks Peninsula’s Conservation 

Trust’s display at Little 

River Show on Saturday. 

Public meetings will also be 

held at the Akaroa Sport Pavilion 

on January 24, and at the 

Little River Rugby Club Rooms 

on the January 29. Both meetings 

start at 6pm. 

Pest Free Banks Peninsula 

is a partnership of 14 parties, 

including central and local 

Government, five Ngāi Tahu 

Rūnanga, and commercial and 

not for profit organisations. 

The new possum control 

programme complements other 

initiatives that are also under 

way. 

This includes a programme 

to eradicate feral goats from the 

Peninsula within five years and 

urban trapping programmes in 

many areas, including the Port 

Hills. 

The new possum programme 

will be integrated with a 

Department of Conservation 

and Orion initiative launched 

late last year which focuses on 

controlling possums on public 

conservation land within the 

Peninsula.

CHEAP 

OPTION: 

The 

Midnight 

Express 

would run 

from the 

central city 

to Sumner 

at 1.15am, 

2.15am and 

3.15am on 

Sundays for 

up to $10. 

Midnight bus to Sumner 

•From page 1 

“There is potentially the need 

for a cheaper service. If people are 

travelling in a group, it’s easier 

than having to get two taxis as 

the cost would double. It’s also 

not something you have to book, 

it’s a scheduled service.” 

Bentley Transport has two 

other Midnight Express lines 

running from the 

central city to Rolleston 

and Rangiora which 

Mr van der Merwe said 

have seen a “really good 

response.” 

He said the decision 

to run the bus out to 

Sumner was based 

on the population of 

the area and because 

a similar service was 

provided to the area prior to the 

earthquakes. 

Sumner resident Jess Wright,

21, said she would definitely use 

the bus if it became an option. 

Miss Wright would usually pay 

between $40 and $50 for 

an Uber or up to $80 for 

a taxi to get home after a 

Saturday night out. 

“I think the bus is such a 

good idea,” she said. 

Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association 

co-ordinator Charlie 

Hudson said she loves 

the idea of having another 

form of connectivity with 

the city. 

“At this point, no concerns 

spring to mind.”

Standout performance of the event 

•From page 1 

There were also national titles 

for Sumner surfers Amelie Wink 

and Ambrose McNeill. 

In the women’s open final 

Henderson posted a 14.03 total 

to beat Piha’s Gabrielle Paul by 

nearly three points in a dominant 

display. 

“I started to believe I could 

win when I got a five and I only 

needed another five to lead, and 

I had already got that score and 

I hadn’t actually surfed to my 

potential,” Henderson said. 

“I knew if I got a few good 

turns in, I could get a six or 

higher, you know. 

“Then when I was leading 

toward the end, all I wanted was 

for the time to speed up because 

I had priority and I knew I could 

control the final.” 

Henderson also claimed the 

overall standout performance of 

the event.

Henderson finished third in 

the under-16 division. 

Meanwhile, 14-year-old Amelie 

Wink claimed her maiden 

national title in the women’s 

stand-up paddleboard division. 

Wink scored 8.97 to pip former

There was a national title in 

the men’s longboard division for 

Ambrose McNeill with a convincing 

victory and 12.6-point

McNeill defeated two-time

Foul odour 

solution for 

Ferrymead 


AN ODOUR treatment unit will 

be installed in Ferrymead to rid a 

foul and corrosive smell generated 

by sewer systems. 

Work to install the unit near 

Settlers Cres and Heathcote 

Towpath has started and is 

expected to finish by the end of 

February. 

City council head of three waters 

and waste Helen Beaumont 

said installing a well-designed 

and operated filter will treat offensive 

odours and extend the 

asset lives of the infrastructure. 

Ms Beaumont said the city 

council has not recieved any 

complaints from residents or 

businesses and that the decision 

to install the unit was made after 

staff identified the smell. 

Environment Canterbury has 

received seven complaints from 

Ferrymead residents relating to 

odour in the area since July 2017. 

However, a spokesperson could 

not confirm whether it was coming 

from the wastewater system as 

none of the complaints provided 

evidence. 

“It is possible that in some 

cases the odour was from another 

source, for example, the landfill 

in Bromley which is nearby.”

Tram shelter repairs 

delayed again 


REDCLIFFS Residents’ 

Association secretary Pat 

McIntosh says a house 

could have been built in the 

time it has taken to repair 

the Moncks Bay tram 

shelter. 

City council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas has confirmed it 

will take until the end of 

this month to finish work 

on the 85-year-old structure 

on Main Rd. 

Design work started 

in January last year and 

repairs were set to be 

completed before the end of 

September. 

However, the completion 

date was pushed out until 

the end of December as 

further design work on the 

maintenance and strengthening 

of the shelter was 

required. 

Now, that date has been 

further revised due to a 

delay with the supply of 

specific structural timber 

required for the earthquake 

bracing upgrade. 

Dr McIntosh said she is 

“disappointed” there have 

been further delays. 

PUSHED BACK: Residents must wait until the end 

of this month for the Moncks Bay tram shelter 

to open, as the city council has confirmed more 

delays. 

The association has been 

critical of the progress 

made on the shelter since 

the city council closed it 

in December 2018 due to 

earthquake vulnerability. 

“To be unable to repair 

such a small structure 

suggests that they have 

some systemic problems. 

Why is the process so 

inefficient and slow?”

News 

Mental health initiative launches in Sumner 

FARMERS CAN ride the wave 

of a mental health initiative 

which has launched in Sumner. 

After a successful test run in 

Gisborne last summer, “Surfing 

for Farmers” has made its way 

down to Canterbury. 

It will run every Tuesday night 

over summer from 5.45pm, 

meeting at Stoke St. 

Fifteen farmers working in 

rural areas made their way to 

Sumner Beach for its first session 

on January 7. 

Canterbury co-ordinator Sandra 

Taylor said they all managed 

to stand up and left the water 

with “a big smile on their faces.” 

Afterwards, the group were 

able to wind down and get to 

know each other over a few beers 

and refreshments. 

Stephen Thomson, a surfer, 

farmer and rural real estate agent 

at Bayleys, was inspired to set up 

the programme after watching 

the Netflix documentary “Resurface”. 

The documentary showed how 

surfing helped heal American 

war veterans suffering from 

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder 

(PTSD). 

Mr Thomson said when the 

war vet described how he used 

to wake up every day wanting to 

shoot himself – now he wakes up 

wanting to go surfing. 

Knowing how much better 

he always felt after being in the 

saltwater, Mr Thomson was 

determined to give farmers the 

opportunity to get off-site once a 

week and experience that same 

feeling of well-being. 

“While there is a lot of conversation 

about mental health 

in the rural sector, this is not 

being matched by action orprogrammes 

that actually take 

farmers away from the farm and 

put them in a completely different 

yet supportive environment.” 

He said at farm discussion 

groups or community events the 

conversation invariably turns 

to farming, but after surfing the 

conversation is about catching, 

or not catching waves and rides 

are re-lived. 

Sponsorships mean farmers do 

not have to pay anything and all 

gear and tuition will be provided 

by the Sumner Surf School. 

STRESS RELIEF: Fifteen 

farmers headed to Sumner 

Beach on January 7 to 

give surfing a go as part of 

an initiative encouraging 

wellbeing. 

Mr Thomson is hoping other 

Canterbury rural businesses 

and organisations will get on 

board and support the initiative, 

particularly in light of the many 

pressures facing farmers.

Sandra Taylor on 021 151 8685

Surfing for Farmers. 

Holding it together in week one his 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

SO VITTORIA is in the midst of 

her first week of preschool now 

and I’m coping. Mostly. 

Her orientation day last month 

got me kind of ready for the 

whole concept of leaving her with 

strangers for an hour, but dropping 

her off with them for her 

four hour first day on my own 

was a whole new ball game. 

I managed to start the week in 

classic fashion, forgetting to actually 

get her bag or lunch ready 

until about midnight on Sunday. 

I had set an alarm nice and 

early so that I could get Vittoria 

ready for her 8am start time easily 

enough, but I forgot to pass 

the memo on to her and she went 

right ahead and woke up more 

than an hour beforehand. 

With all that extra preparation 

time, I easily got her fed, dressed, 

washed and ready in time for us 

to have a nice walk to get there. 

When she realised where we were 

headed, she turned around and 

gave me a massive smile. Good 

confidence boost there. 

It only lasted until I went out 

of her eyesight for five seconds 

to put her bag with those of her 

classmates. I’d popped inside 

to what I assume is a fairly well 

sound-proofed building to do so 

and I could hear her siren going 

off from in there. 

She met me at the door and 

her sad wee face broke my heart. 

From there she clung on tight 

and started tearing up if I so 

much as thought about putting 

her down. I had to hand her off 

to a teacher and grimace my way 

through her crying as I left. 

When pickup time finally 

rolled around, she barely noticed 

as I arrived. She was way too 

engrossed in the sandpit. 

Her teacher said she’d been 

happy and well-behaved the 

whole time and had only cried

for a minute or two after 

I’d left. 

She almost had me 

thinking she was over 

hanging with her dad, 

until she turned around, 

smiled and ran over to 

me to have a wee cry to 

let me know how she 

missed me. 

Hopefully she’ll enjoy 

each day just as much 

and hopefully I’ll get better 

at holding it together 

while she does.

backpack pose.

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, 

a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s 

most important coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird 

found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of the 

values and uniqueness of the area. 

THE COLOURFUL little kingfisher 

are found at several sites around our 

estuary. 

They prefer to perch rather 

than walk on the ground on mudflats. 

You will see them on rocks, 

logs, jetties and even washing 

lines. 

They eat insects, lizards and mice 

but mainly crabs which they return 

to their perch where they batter the 

legs off before swallowing the main 

body. 

Pellets of indigestible remains are 

regurgitated and you will see these, 

together with piles of crab legs on 

and near rocks when you walk along 

the South New Brighton jetty, which 

is a favourite dinner table for these 

birds. 

They may be a small bird but are 

absolutely fearlessly aggressive when 

protecting chicks and will attack 

other birds coming too close and 

even dive-bomb mammals such as 

cats and dogs. 

They nest inside trees and sand 

cliffs where they repeatedly fly at the 

site and slowly chisel out materials 

till they have created a safe hole for 

laying eggs. 

How can we help these, and all 

other birds? Keep dogs on the lead 

when walking near the estuary and 

pick up litter! 

COLOURFUL: The kingfisher is often seen perching 

around South New Brighton looking for its favourite 

food - crabs.

New fitness stations to 

be installed at Little River 

FIVE NEW outdoor 

fitness stations will be 

installed in Little River’s 

Awa-iti Domain by next 

month. 

Banks Peninsula 

Community Board approved 

the installation 

last month, amending 

the master plan for the 

domain. 

The installation follows 

requests from residents 

seeking additional fitness 

activities. 

Community board 

chairwoman Tori Peden 

said the new “outdoor 

The 

Redcliffs 

Residents 

Association 

has 

launched 

an “ecovillage” 

initiative 

in response to our 

climate and ecological 

emergency. This 

month member Dave 

Bryce focuses on 

weeds 

OUR COUNTRY has 

about 2500 types of native 

flowering plants. However, 

in addition, we also have 

more than 2500 (and 

increasing) types of exotic 

“wild” plants or weeds and 

more than 20,000 types 

of cultivated and garden 

plants. 

Many exotic plants are 

“invasive,” including some 

exotic forest species, and 

spread and take over habitats 

of native plants. 

Many of our native plants 

have evolved here over 

millions of years and are 

unique to New Zealand, 

which makes them globally 

important for protection. 

In addition, they have 

evolved with our native 

animals, insects and soil 

biota and have symbiotic 

relationships with them, 

unlike most exotic plants. 

Weeds have no natural 

checks on their spread and 

need to be controlled or 

eliminated to protect our 

native plants and habitats 

and also to protect our agriculture 

and horticulture. 

Many of these weeds 

come from our home 

gardens via neighbours 

or plants or soil imported 

from other parts of the 

country or even overseas. 

gym” in Awa-iti Domain 

will help meet the growing 

demand for improved 

health and well-being 

options in the district. 

“Having such diverse 

fitness stations in place 

will hopefully also motivate 

people with a range of 

fitness goals to regularly 

use the equipment,” Ms 

Peden said. 

The wooden apparatus 

includes a stepper, 

hurdles, a balance beam, 

stepping logs and a 

straddle jump sited in a 

corner of the domain near 

Weeding lets native 

plants flourish 

CONTROL: Removing weeds from your garden 

will help to protect native plants 

While it is tempting to 

buy off-the-shelf herbicides 

for problem weeds, the jury 

is still out on the safety of 

such products for other 

plants, micro-organisms, 

insects like honey bees and 

even humans. In any event, 

the scale of problem weeds 

on a residential property is 

usually manageable without 

such products. 

In Redcliffs, some weeds 

have seeds which are 

dispersed by wind, water, 

birds or other animals. 

These can be pulled out, 

hoed or cut, or you can cut 

off flower heads to prevent 

seeding. These plants 

include nightshade, lupins, 

veldt grass, boneseed or 

saltbush, cleavers, dandelion, 

fathen, fumitory, gallant 

soldiers and oxtongue. 

Other weeds have big 

roots which you either 

need to dig out, or regularly 

remove foliage, which 

feeds the root, until the 

root withers and dies. 

Many have flowers and 

seed as well and these need 

to be cut off. These plants 

the fire station. 

The different apparatus 

caters to multiple fitness 

levels. 

The domain, which sits 

next to Little River School, 

already includes several 

sports fields, a community 

centre and rugby clubrooms. 

Work is also under 

way to restore the 

damaged tennis courts 

in the domain in tandem 

with the fitness stations 

installation. The domain 

will remain open during 

the installation work. 

include pig’s ear, fennel, 

wild parsnip, hemlock, 

twitch, convolvulus, 

blackberry, spur valerian, 

thistle, gorse, male fern 

(spores, not flowers), and 

polypodium fern (also 

spores, not flowers). 

Still, other weeds have 

bulbs and corms, all of 

which you will need to dig 

out. These include agapanthus 

and oxalis. 

Others are creepers 

which drop roots at regular 

intervals, which you will 

need to carefully pull out. 

These include nasturtium, 

periwinkle, purple loosestrife 

and tradescantia 

(wandering willie). Some 

creepers invade trees and 

can be pulled out when 

you find the rooted stem. 

These include banana passion 

fruit. 

Remember the old saying…one 

year’s seeding 

gives seven years weeding…so 

stop them seeding! 

You can Google plant 

names or search “weed 

busters” for pictures to 

identify these weeds. 

From computer 

novice to digital 

whizz 

A simple desire to become more 

confident using computers has opened up 

a world of possibilities for Thomas King, a 

co-director of a logistics business. 

“The world is rapidly changing and to 

keep pace with it, having some confidence 

and competence in computing is crucial,” 

he says. “I realised that I’d have to embrace 

this scary but exciting new tech-driven 

world sooner or later, and now here I am 

today, loving what I once feared.” 

Thomas got the skills he was looking 

for at Ara Connect, a network of 

community hubs operated by Ara Institute 

of Canterbury which 

offer free, non-assessed 

computing courses for 

anyone wanting to gain 

skills and confidence 

using digital technology. 

Thomas says the tutors 

at Ara Connect made 

learning an enjoyable 

experience and were 

very supportive. “I felt 

so inspired during my 

journey. The tutors were 

very attentive and always 

eager to assist. They want 

you to succeed and they 

encourage you to push 

your boundaries without ever throwing 

you in the deep end.” 

His advice for anyone else considering 

the computing courses at Ara Connect 

is to just go for it. “Knowing how to use 

computers in a way that delivers results can 

make life so much easier, especially in the 

world of business. I certainly wish I’d taken 

courses like these two decades ago. My 

advice is to pluck up the courage and just 

go for it.”

Wine 

2017 a vintage year for pinot noir 

• By Mark Henderson 

THESE PINOT noir wines 

were assembled over a number 

of tasting events, but are 

compiled together for clarity, 

and reinforce my belief that 2017 

will be ranked as one of the great 

vintages. 

A constant thread through 

the Otago 2017 pinots has been 

the structure. While the term 

may sound flippant, these are 

“serious’’ wines, crafted with 

intent for future development, 

yet with so many also having 

delicious immediacy. It’s a good 

time to be a pinot lover. 

2017 Valli Waitaki 

Vineyard Pinot Noir 

Price: $69.99 

Rating: Excellent to 

outstanding 

There’s an alluring perfume 

and elegance, scents that evoke 

an autumnal feel. A silky entry 

with real delicacy, the red fruits 

and savoury notes wrapped in a 

bed of brambles. Not at all flashy 

or showy, this creeps up on you 

as it builds quietly in weight and 

poise, the fresh acidity keeping 

this lively. 

An attractive herbaceous note 

hangs on the long close. 

www.valliwine.com 

2017 Mt Difficulty Single 

Vineyard Long Gully 

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 

Price: $110 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Powerful nose of smoke, dark 

fruits, wild herbs, dustiness with 

a sweet fruit lift akin to dried 

strawberry. Powerful and chewy 

palate, a little more primal with 

some confectionery/ dried fruits 

at first before this builds and 

fleshes out. Nice flow through 

the mouth becoming more 

savoury, with a hint of blueberry 

on the close. 

Just a little shorter on the 

finish. 

www.mtdifficulty.nz 

2017 Mt Difficulty Single 

Vineyard Target Gully 


Price: $110 

Rating: Excellent to 

outstanding 

A little wildness, wild herbs, 

dustiness, rich fruit. Tightly 

bound and youthfully brash 

palate wrapped round a deep 

core of darker fruits and 

powerful tannins. While firm, 

this teases you with glimpses of 

its charms, slowly developing 

sumptuousness as the fruit 

builds, adding savoury and lead 

pencil nuances. 

Desperately crying out for 

bottle age, but the elements are 

there. 

www.mtdifficulty.nz 

2017 Chard Farm River 

Run Central Otago Pinot 

Noir 

Price: $35 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Subtle but attractive nose that 

grows in the glass, becoming 

perfumed and floral with 

hints of lavender. A touch of 

confectionery is tempered 

by bright acidity and a juicy, 

cranberry-like crunchiness. 

A savoury edge builds as do 

pencil shavings, adding to the 

flavour nuances, with the wine 

retaining that brightness and 

vibrancy to the last drop. 

www.chardfarm.co.nz 

2017 Kuru Kuru Central 

Otago Pinot Noir 

Price: $40 

Rating: Excellent 

A whisper of wildness and 

funk at first, hard candy, moving 

to darker raspberry notes and 

wild herbs; tilled earth and oak 

scents following. Noticeable 

tannic grip, bigger boned, chewy 

and intense with plum, dark 

cherry and a tangy, zestiness. 

This becomes more sumptuous 

as it evolves and opens up, 

adding hints of blueberry and 

spice. 

Potential here. 

www.kurukuru.co.nz 

2017 Domain Road 


Price: $40 

Rating: Very good 

Bright and fragrant nose with 

dark cherry, raspberry, smoke, 

bacon and oak char. The palate is 

tighter and less expressive than 

the nose suggests adding lead 

pencil and cool, cranberry notes 

with mouth puckering tannins. 

Aeration allows this to build 

and open up, but for now it is 

showing its grippy, structured 

side. 

Time should build on the 

promise shown by the nose. 

www.domainroad.co.nz 

2017 Burn Cottage Burn 

Cottage Vineyard Central 

Otago Pinot Noir 

Price: $70 

Rating: Outstanding 

Wonderfully floral nose draws 

you in: a mix of dark fruits, 

some red fruits, wild herbs and 

savoury nuances, becoming 

violetty with time. Silky, textural, 

the palate follows the nose 

adding slatey, stony minerality 

and tannic chewiness. Deceptive 

power to this; richness yet 

beautiful balance and complexity 

with a fabulously long finish. 

Compelling stuff.

Clever technology for big Lexus SUV 

YOU CAN guarantee Lexus as a 

brand and manufacturer won’t be 

sitting back resting on its laurels, 

the company has a big focus 

on product development and 

evolution. 

Bang on cue the RX series 

luxury sport utility vehicle has 

had a refresh. It gets a raft of new 

electronic technologies for safety 

and convenience and it has had a 

fairly hefty facelift. 

The cosmetic changes are bold 

and fit with the striking look 

Lexus has developed over the past 

few years, the enhancements also 

create even more of a luxurious 

feel, along with boosting driver 

enjoyment. 

One of the new features I 

found most interesting are the 

adaptive headlights which reduce 

brightness when oncoming cars 

are detected, in that case, the 

direction of light is also redirected 

towards the side of the road. 

Elsewhere, the concept of the 

big RX hasn’t been changed, 

there are five and seven-seater 

options and the choice of a hybrid 

drivetrain, bearing in mind that 

all RX models have V6 petrol 

power under the bonnet and all 

are four-wheel-drive. 

I’m due to drive a hybrid 

model soon, but this evaluation 

focuses on the RX350 which, 

as its nomenclature suggests, 

has a quad-camshaft 3.5-litre 

engine. It is a powerful unit at 

221kW and 370Nm and it drives 

through an eight-speed automatic 

transmission. 

Even though it is an engine 

that has been used widely 

throughout a raft of Toyota (and 

Lexus) product, it stands out 

for its strength, sophistication 

and performance, along with 

respectable fuel usage statistics. 

Lexus claims a 9.6-litre per 

100km (29mpg) combined cycle 

average. I found that easy to 

replicate with an 11-litre (26mpg) 

figure showing regularly on the 

fuel usage readout. At 100km/h, 

7l/100km (40mpg) is possible 

with the engine turning over at 

just 1600rpm. 

That is the secret to this big 

V6, it works tirelessly low down, 

hauling in quick shifts before the 

revs rise unnecessarily high. That 

is the beauty of any V6 engine, 

there is good torque flow, yet it 

whisks to high revolutions freely 

if required – when overtaking for 

example. 

The RX has an economy/ 

normal/sport selector so that the 

driver can dictate how the engine 

works, depending on preference. 

LEXUS RX350: A host of new features for 2020. 

I used normal mode mostly, but 

did try the sport setting, which 

is great for when overtaking 

opportunities arrive. The RX will 

lunge from 80km/h to 120km/h 

in around 4.5sec, along with a 

standstill to 100km/h time of 

7.8sec. 

All of the time the engine 

works without sound intrusion, 

even when it is hauling in 

towards the red line. I guess you’d 

expect that in a prestige/luxury 

car and it doesn’t disappoint. 

Refinement within the driveline 

doesn’t stop there, the fully 

independent suspension is supple 

offering a high degree of comfort 

while the steering is perfectly 

weighted with strong feedback. 

Even though it has a generous 

200mm of ground clearance, the 

RX can’t be considered an offroader 

– put simply, luxury SUVs 

aren’t aimed for those conditions 

– the four-wheel-drive system is 

there for when grip is challenged. 

I never ventured off the 

sealed surface, but the driveline 

certainly enhances feel on the seal 

promoting secure handling when 

pushed into a corner. 

While the RX has performance 

that sits well in the sport SUV 

sector, its primary role is to 

transport its occupants in the 

Lexus style of sophistication 

and grace. It is a full five-seater 

with full leather trim, satellite 

navigation, heated and cooled 

seats, paddle gearshifters, and all 

of the functions you would need 

every day as a premium car buyer. 

The evaluation car was an 

F-Sport model which, as its 

branding would suggest, has 

a few sporty type ingredients 

– aluminium pedals, F-Sport 

badging and 20in wheels. 

Any RX buyer won’t be 

• Price – Lexus RX350, 

$109,600 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4890mm; width, 

1895mm; height, 

1690mm 

• Configuration – V6, 

four-wheel-drive, 3456cc, 

221kW, 370Nm, eightspeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 9.6l/100km 

disappointed with the amount of 

onboard kit, and the specification 

level justifies its $109,600 price 

tag. A base spec V6 starts the 

range at just below $100k, 

while the seven-seat V6 lists at 

$109,500. Incidentally, hybrid 

models start from $116,400 and 

end at $127,500. 

As part of a process to 

rehome my wife’s piano within 

our dwelling, we purchased a 

tallboy to house her music and 

other paraphernalia. I used the 

RX to transport the piece of 

furniture home, and that journey 

highlighted the practicality big 

SUVs offer, the rear seats fold 

down to open up an expansive 

cargo load space. Even though 

the F-Sport model has just two 

rows of seats, I can easily see how 

the seven-seat option would work 

in this car. 

These are just some of the 

reasons why SUVs are the biggest 

selling models within the Lexus 

brand.

Who we are 

Allied Press Limited employs over 450 people on a permanent 

basis across its 15 sites in the South Island. We operate across 

multiple media platforms (print, online, digital) delivering news,

and city publications, including printing and publishing of 

newspapers from our print centre in Dunedin and a commercial 

print facility in Alexandra.

• Preventative maintenance is prioritised to ensure minimal 

downtime. 

The business has just invested in a major upgrade to the 

electrical/electronic systems on the printing press, scheduled to 

commence in the New Year. This presents the ideal opportunity 

to learn from the installation and commissioning engineers to 

enable the successful candidate to hit the ground running.

Industrial background holding a current practising licence. The 

ideal candidate would be competent and confident in using 

computers and experienced in PLC’s, Analogue/Digital control 

and AC/DC motor drive systems. Although not essential, 

knowledge of Goss Press and Ferag mailroom will be a bonus. 

Further details 

This is a full-time permanent position working the day shift from 

Monday to Friday, with rostered ‘On call’. 

As well as a competitive salary, we offer you a great team 

environment, minimal commute time, being based within 

Dunedin city, professional development opportunities, job 

security and opportunity to grow. Training and support will be 

provided for the successful applicant.
