PROTECTING the Port 

Hills from future fires and 

boosting native bird numbers 

is behind a major tree planting 

programme planned for winter. 

The Summit Road Society 

has received a $20,000 grant 

from the city council’s 

sustainability fund for the 

project which 

will see more 

than 87,000 

native trees 

and shrubs 

planted in the 

Avoca Valley 

in Heathcote.

Said 

Summit 

Road Society 

president Bill Woods: “Once the 

trees are established into their 

normal cycle, they will flower 

and produce seeds which will 

encourage more native bird life 

to the area.” 

The sustainability fund was 

established in August as part 

of the city council’s goals to 

combat the impacts of climate 

change, including reducing 

greenhouse gas emissions 

and building environmental 

resilience.

beach rip 

continues 

to keep 

lifesavers 

busy 


TWENTY-SEVEN PEOPLE 

were rescued in 10 minutes when 

they were caught in a flash rip at 

Sumner. 

Surf lifesavers worked in messy 

1.5m-plus surf to get the swimmers 

out of the water. The rip 

knocked many unsuspecting 

people off their feet. 

Said Surf Life Saving southern 

region manager Chris Jeffery: 

“Sumner is a beach like no 

other. It receives many changing 

currents from the estuary; one 

minute they’re sending swimmers 

left to right and then, the next 

minute, they’re sending swimmers 

in the opposite direction. 

“Our team of volunteers and 

staff are consistently watching this 

and are always working to keep 

the public safe. 

“The lifeguards are doing 

everything to make the water 

as safe as possible but it is still 

important that the individual 

knows their swimming ability 

and limits,” Jeffery said.

Full steam ahead for tug boat excursions 


TRIPS ON THE historic tug 

boat Lyttelton are expected to 

be very popular when they start 

again in two weeks. 

The public excursions will take 

place every Sunday from January 

24, weather permitting, until 

Easter weekend. 

The tug was booked out over 

Christmas, hosting chartered 

end-of-year work parties. 

But this month will see the 

first public sailings since March 

last year after 

Covid-19 kept 

the boat in its 

berth. 

With most 

Kiwis having 

to stay in 

New Zealand 

Roger Ellery 

this summer, 

it is hoped 

people will take an interest in tug 

Lyttelton. 

“We had sell-out sailings last 

year pre-Covid, so we are hoping 

for another great response this 

year. People are interested in 

the tug’s unique heritage,” said 

Roger Ellery, of the Tug Lyttelton 

Preservation Society. 

The tug will depart at 2.30pm 

from the No 2 wharf, cruising 

around the harbour and out to 

Lyttelton Heads. It will return to 

dock at 4pm. 

HISTORY: Tug Lyttelton leaves the port on a trip into the harbour. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

During the trips, a historian 

provides a running commentary 

on the tug and its history. 

“Inside Lyttelton, the wheel 

house provides a fun experience. 

You can witness how the captain 

runs the show and co-ordinates 

with the engine room below 

deck,” said Ellery. 

“When the captain decides to 

change the propellers’ settings, 

they have to signal down to the 

engine room via a telegraph 

system. 

“The engineers acknowledge 

this and then start working to 

ensure the captain gets what he 

wants.” 

Another highlight will 

be a visit to the engine room, 

where passengers will be able to 

see the stokers’ shovelling coal 

into the boilers, ensuring enough 

steam is produced for the tug to 

run. 

Maintained and managed by 

the Tug Lyttelton Preservation 

Society, the steam-powered vessel 

is more than 100-years-old 

after being established in 1907. 

A large amount of preparation 

goes in to getting Lyttelton sea 

ready. 

“Each year, Lyttelton undergoes 

an annual survey where she 

is looked at in dry dock. The hull 

is cleaned. 

“The propellers get taken off 

and checked for any cracks or 

damage. A lot of maintenance is 

carried out on the boilers,” said 

Ellery. 

Previously, tickets were on 

sale at the wharf, but due to new 

Covid-19 protective measures, 

online bookings will now be 

essential. 

•For ticket prices, visit 

www.tuglyttelton.co.nz. They 

will be available later this 

week

Akaroa’s hat-trick and batting maestro 

SCALP: Inderjett Waraich and Stephen Fleming after 

the Akaroa-based all-rounder claimed the former 

Black Caps’ skipper’s wicket. 

• By Chris Barclay 

INDERJEET WARAICH used 

to be a net bowler who offered 

teammates technical advice after 

tossing up some gentle medium 

pace to boost their egos. 

Turns out he is not as benevolent 

to an opposition, given the Akaroabased 

Indian all-rounder took backto-back 

hat-tricks for Halswell in 

the Metro Division One Twenty20 

competition. 

Waraich recorded the milestones 

this season against Heathcote 

and Sydenham. He also claimed 

two wickets to close out his spell 

in another clash with Heathcote 

before Christmas. 

“I used to bowl to make the 

batters more confident,” he 

explained. 

“Sometimes your teammates 

need to learn a little bit more. If 

there are problems for me when 

I go batting, I can’t notice myself 

what I’m doing, but the bowler 

can.” 

Eventually the 26-year-old upped 

his pace and mastered in and outswing. 

Five of his hat-trick victims 

were bowled. 

Those batsmen are in good 

company, with former New 

Zealand captain Stephen Fleming 

another to fall to Waraich’s guile. 

Fleming was caught out – literally 

– when he misjudged the Punjabi’s 

pace during an All-Star game 

against Queenstown’s T20 players 

at Arrowtown in 2019. 

“He thought I was going to bowl 

spin but I bowled quick and he was 

caught at mid-on,” Waraich smiled. 

Still, stroke-making is Waraich’s 

forte, with the top order batsman’s 

output suggesting he might be 

equipped to step up to senior grade 

in 2021-22. 

He is on the brink of tallying 800 

runs across the T20 and one-day 

formats. After nine rounds of the 

50-over schedule his aggregate of 

472 at 52.44 is 112 runs clear of his 

closest rival. 

Waraich has two one-day tons 

and he also slugged 324 runs in 10 

T20 knocks at 54 and a strike rate 

of 129.60. 

Ironically, Waraich would 

not be starring for Heathcote 

had Covid-19 not ended his 

housekeeping job at a Queenstown 

hotel, a setback that forced his 

return to Christchurch in May, the 

city he landed in from India as a 

student in 2015. 

Waraich started playing in a 

lower grade T20 competition for 

Sydenham and then switched to 

Halswell before his move south. 

“I was not playing that serious 

(in Queenstown), now I’m mentally 

prepared,” said Waraich, who 

doesn’t train with this side because 

he lives in Akaroa. 

“At home I try and focus on 

what I can do at the ground. You 

will laugh but I put out my bat 

and when I walk past it, it reminds 

me I’m going to make some more 

runs.” 

Halswell president Mike 

Chatterton was rapt to have 

Waraich back in the side but 

accepted he may be playing 

elsewhere next summer. 

“If he wanted to play seniors he 

could. I’m more than happy to push 

his case,” he said. 

Waraich was also open to 

promotion, though admits living 

in Akaroa could be problematic in 

terms of actual training during the 

week. 

“I am ready to take any challenge, 

I would take the chance but I would 

need to spend more time on my 

cricket,” he conceded.

Avoca Valley’s ecosystem 

to benefit from plantings 

• From page 1 

The planting of native 

vegetation is set to offer 

long-lasting environmental 

benefits to Avoca Valley. 

Woods hoped it would 

invigorate more insects 

and invertebrate, creating a 

thriving ecosystem. 

The planting will mainly 

be carried out in the Upper 

Avoca Valley but the 

society would also like to 

plant in the lower Avoca 

Valley. 

“This area is currently 

primarily covered in gorse 

which can be used to create 

a protective nursery to help 

establish the newly-planted 

natives,” Woods said. 

“Our intention is not to 

cover the area in trees to 

reflect how it was 10,000 

years ago. Rather, the new 

native foliage will be predominantly 

fire retardant 

to help protect the Port 

Hills.” 

• By Samantha 

Mythen 

A FURTHER four 

projects based in 

the Banks Peninsula 

have received 

grants from the 

city council’s 

Sustainability 

Fund. 

The Diamond 

Harbour Community 

Association 

on behalf of 

Friends of Morgan’s 

and Sam’s 

Gullies, received 

$3000 for the 

restoration of indigenous 

biodiversity along the 

walkways and gullies of 

the city council-owned 

land. 

This group of local 

volunteers is hoping to 

transform the gullies into 

native forests thriving 

with indigenous bird and 

insect life. 

Said city councillor and 

PREVENTION: The native vegetation to be 

planted in Avoca Valley will be fire retardant. 

The society is made up 

of volunteers who work to 

maintain the existing areas 

in the Port Hills under 

their care. 

“We are calling on new 

volunteers to help with this 

project. The society’s aim is 

to encourage and promote 

natural growth of native 

vegetation on the Port 

Hills for people to enjoy,” 

Woods said. 

Planting is set to begin 

at the start of winter.

chairwoman of the sustainability 

and community 

resilience committee, 

which approved the 

grants, Sara Templeton: 

“These well-established 

volunteer groups 

have already 

done enormous 

amounts of 

planting and 

ecological restoration. 

This grant 

empowers their 

work even more. 

provide the trees with 

better opportunity to 

establish themselves 

before the drier summer 

season sets in. After 

planting, a maintenance 

programme will be put in 

place, ensuring the new 

vegetation thrives. 

This project is part 

of a management plan 

developed for Avoca Valley 

by the society. It is hoping 

to eventually introduce 

walking and mountain 

biking tracks to the area.

“It is really 

clear that more 

native planting 

is essential for biodiversity 

regeneration. In the 

Port Hills and Banks 

Peninsula specifically, it 

is clear that native species 

are much more fire resistant 

than others which is 

fantastic.” 

Three projects in the 

Little River locality also 

received funds for their 

sustainable objectives. 

The Little River Campground 

was granted $2625 

to contribute towards 

the continued protection 

of the native vegetation 

and wetland in the Okuti 

Valley. 

The Living Streams 

Community Nursery 

Trust is using its grant to 

help nurture and grow the 

capacity of it’s community-run 

nursery based out 

of Little River. 

Alongside propagating 

indigenous trees and 

shrubs that grow in the 

Banks Peninsula, the 

nursery helps with restorative 

planting projects 

in the area. 

The Little River 

Playcentre will use its 

funding to install new 

energy efficient lighting. 

“Little River, like many 

Canterbury community’s, 

is really connected and 

proactive on environmental 

initiatives which 

is great to see,” Templeton 

said.

Wine 

Malbec plantings have increased with popularity 

• By Mark Henderson 

THE RED GRAPE malbec is a 

native of France, where it is best 

known as one of the “so-called” 

Bordeaux varieties, which is made 

up by cabernet sauvignon, merlot, 

cabernet franc, petit verdot, 

carmenere and malbec. 

Widely planted in Bordeaux in 

the 1800s, the devastation caused 

by the vine louse phylloxera saw 

plantings diminish significantly. 

The savage frost of 1956 then 

almost dealt the coup de grace 

with plantings further decimated 

and replaced by cabernet 

sauvignon and merlot. 

More recently the variety 

has begun to regain favour and 

plantings have slowly climbed 

once more. 

The variety may have an even 

longer history in Cahors in southwest 

France where, unusually, 

SOIL AND 

HARDFILL 

DUMPING 

malbec is the dominant grape 

variety – appellation rules 

requiring a minimum of 70 per 

cent malbec in the finished wine 

and where plantings comprise 

roughly 50 per cent of the French 

total. 

It often flies solo here, but can 

also be blended with tannat and 

other varieties. 

Malbec is also found in the 

Loire under its synonym cot. 

All these pale into comparison 

with Argentina, where this grape 

variety has become the figurehead 

for the local industry. 

The north-western region of 

Mendoza is a powerhouse of 

grape growing and winemaking, 

producing nearly three-quarters 

of all the wine in Argentina. 

Increasing volumes are being 

imported here, where its modest 

price and generous flavours are 

finding many converts.

In New Zealand, it is mostly 

seen as the supporting act in 

blends such as cabernet malbec 

or merlot malbec and barely a 

handful of producers making 

a varietal version. Its 111ha 

(according to New Zealand 

Winegrower figures) makes it 

our fifth most widely planted red 

grape variety, with roughly 75 per 

cent found in Hawke’s Bay. 

Deeply coloured, it has plum 

flavours similar to merlot, often 

with an earthy or slightly “rustic” 

twist and powerful tannins.

Fascinating, brooding nose

Lifeboat 

called to 

motorboat 

rescue 

• From page 1 

The December 21 rescue has 

been the only major incident 

so far on either Sumner or 

Taylors Mistake beaches this 

summer. 

Meanwhile, three people on 

a small motorboat anchored 

off Whitewash Head, activated 

their emergency beacon about 

9am on Sunday. 

They were at risk of sinking 

after their boat had taken on 

water. Eleven crew from the 

Sumner Lifeboat Institution 

responded, sending out their 

jet ski, followed by their twin 

jet ski. 

After delivering the boat’s 

crew safely to shore, the twin 

jet ski, called Blue Arrow 

Rescue, returned to the 

waterlogged boat and towed it 

back to the boat station. 

Bid to protect farmland vegetation 

THE PUBLIC have the 

opportunity to share their views 

on the protection of native 

vegetation on coastal farmlands 

in the Banks Peninsula this 

month. 

The city council is proposing 

a change to the District Plan 

regarding clearing of indigenous 

vegetation in existing pastures. 

It is calling for feedback from 

the public, alongside contacting 

owners of coastal property who 

may be directly impacted by the 

changes. 

Council head of planning 

and strategic transport David 

Griffiths says the draft changes 

relating to vegetation will only 

affect property owners who clear 

native trees and plants as part of 

farming activities to maintain 

existing pasture for grazing 

livestock. 

“The proposed changes seek to 

limit the clearance of indigenous 

vegetation within improved 

pasture on Banks Peninsula 

and the Port Hills to ensure 

potentially significant native 

trees and plants are not removed 

without a resource consent,” 

Griffiths said. 

“We want to refine the meaning 

of ‘improved pasture’ so it 

can be more easily applied by 

landowners when indigenous 

vegetation is cleared, and ensure 

compliance with existing limits 

or the need for resource consent 

in tandem with recognition of 

areas of significance.” 

For inquiries phone the city 

council on 941 8999 and ask to 

speak to Craig Davison about 

the proposal. 

Council staff will also be 

available at drop-in sessions 

being held from 5pm to 7pm at 

the Gaiety Hall in Akaroa on 

January 26, and the Diamond 

Harbour Rugby Clubrooms on 

January 28. 

Feedback is open until 5pm on 

February 23. 

THE AVON-Heathcote Estuary 

has been the target of many 

grand schemes in the past. 

Some of them such as a saltworks 

and a flying boat base 

would really have spoilt the view 

of hillside residents if they had 

happened. 

One of the most ambitious 

was Port Christchurch; a mole 

and a canal stretching from 

Sumner Head (Scarborough) 

through to wet docks near the 

old Lancaster Park. 

Businessmen at the start of 

the last century were concerned 

about the high price of moving 

goods through the railway tunnel 

from Lyttelton. A new port 

was proposed so ships could land 

freight closer to the city. 

The docks were planned for 

the Wilsons Rd area. To get to 

the docks, ships would travel 

along a canal that would be 80m 

wide and up to 8m deep at high 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Failed proposal prevents port project at estuary 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai 

Trust is a non-profit organisation 

formed to protect one of New 

Zealand’s most important coastal 

wetlands. Each week, board members 

will discuss matters regarding the 

estuary, its rich history and what makes 

it unique. This week Bill Simpson writes 

about the failed bid to use the estuary 

as a port for ships 

tide (6.5m at low tide). The canal 

would stretch for several kilometres 

from Scarborough Head, 

through the current Sumner Bar, 

past Moncks Bay and McCormacks 

Bay, through Ferrymead 

and to the docks. 

A mole from Southshore Spit 

to Scarborough would protect 

the canal. Sediment dredged to 

make the canal would be used to 

reclaim at least half the estuary. 

Consultants reported back in 

1908 that the cost of this project 

AMBITIOUS: The Avon- 

Heathcote Estuary could 

have been turned into a 

shipping port if the project 

was not canned in the early 

1900s. 

would have been more than two 

million pounds. 

The Christchurch Canal 

League was formed to push the 

proposal. The Harbour Board 

was divided on whether it should 

go ahead or not. 

A team of three independent 

engineers was commissioned to 

investigate further and their verdict, 

thankfully, was against the 

scheme because of the expense. 

There are many hillside 

residents who would like to 

thank those three engineers 

for preserving their view of the 

estuary.

Van ready for work in courier business 

I USED TO have regular packages 

delivered to my home by courier. 

The driver was also a regular, and 

was local to my neighbourhood. 

I still see him from time to time 

driving the yellow Mitsubishi L300 

van, although it is no longer used 

for commercial purposes. 

That van is looking a bit tired 

nowadays, and I’m only guessing, 

but I figure it’s probably done about 

a million miles. That’s the way 

those vans were built, they were 

tough and engineered for reliability 

and longevity. 

Of course, the L300 has long 

gone, and Mitsubishi Motors New 

Zealand has been without a van for 

many years, that is until now. 

Sharing an alliance with Renault, 

Mitsubishi globally has introduced 

the Express van; basically it’s a 

Renault Master/Traffic rebadged. 

That makes little difference, 

that vehicle also has a fearsome 

reputation in the light commercial 

market, and with Mitsubishi’s 

marketing prowess it will do well 

with the newcomer; there’s an everincreasing 

demand for light vans 

and in this age of internet shopping 

and delivery, courier companies are 

feeling the heat, with that, additional 

drivers and vans, are in demand. 

The Express van arrives here 

in two variants, both with fourcylinder 

engines. Put simply, there’s 

a choice of manual or automatic 

transmissions, both six-speed units. 

The manual is hooked to a twinturbo 

1.6-litre diesel, the automatic 

with a single-turbo 2-litre diesel. 

The evaluation was the latter, it 

sits in the market at $52,990, the 

manual will save you $5k. 

I’ve driven many vans over the 

years – Mercedes-Benz Viano, 

Fiat Ducato, Hyundai I-Load, 

Ford Transit, Toyota Hilux and the 

L300 – it’s fair to say the Express is 

one of the most refined, it is quiet, 

comfortable and almost car-like. 

A lot of that has to do with 

the bulk-head construction 

of the vehicle, the van area is 

completely separated from the 

cabin compartment, there’s little 

rumble from the cargo section, 

and the driving position, although 

upright, won’t tax the body during 

a long day of deliveries. Sure, it’s 

a bit of a step up into the cabin, 

CAVERNOUS: Low load height makes placing items in the 

cargo section easy. 

MITSUBISHI EXPRESS: Choice of two engines and transmissions. 

certainly not made easier by old 

age, but once there, the seats have 

good support. Incidentally, there 

are three seats, although individual, 

they do represent a bench seat type 

of configuration. 

The cabin section is full of clever 

compartments and ideas to make 

commercial use easy. I particularly 

like the workstation and clipboard 

holder that sits upright and extends 

from the middle seat back rest 

and can be folded flat. What’s not 

so clever is the central cup holder 

which won’t hold your Coke bottle 

when gravitational force takes over 

– that required a bit of a clean-up 

job. Thankfully, easy to remove 

rubber mats made that job easy. 

As an aside, the Express is also 

entering a mild-facelift phase and 

some of the interior features are 

receiving an upgrade, centre dash 

display panel will be introduced 

and it will include touch screen 

audio. 

As you would expect from a 

European-sourced vehicle, the 

Express van is high on safety, there 

are five air bags, electronic stability 

control, and rear view reversing 

camera. 

In terms of load space, 

Mitsubishi rates the Express with 

a 5.2m3 cargo area, it also gets 

around an 1150kg payload rating 

and a 1715kg braked towing 

capacity. In simple terms, it will 

also take a standard NZ pallet 

or Gib sheet between the wheel 

• Price – Mitsubishi Express, 

$52,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4999mm; width, 1956mm; 

height, 1971mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1997cc, 125kW, 

380Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.3l/100km 

arches, there’s also an under-seat 

flap which opens on the passenger 

side so that long lengths of material 

can be carried. Loading can be 

made from the wide-opening rear 

doors or from the sliders on each 

side. One of the features I made 

good use of was the multitude of 

cargo rings that can be utilised to 

tie down loads. 

There’s plenty of power to haul 

that big load. The 1997cc engine 

is rated at 125kW (3500rpm) 

with 380Nm of torque available 

from 1500rpm. The automatic 

gearbox is a dual clutch type and 

that allows extra engine flexibility, 

the combination is fluid and 

responsive. Of course, the van’s 

main function is that of load 

capacity, so the entire driveline is 

geared for that. Incidentally, drive 

is sent to the front wheels. 

Such is the smooth operating 

manner of the engine, it’s hard to 

tell that there’s diesel power, until 

you look at the fuel consumption 

figures. Mitsubishi rates it with 

a 7.3l/100km combined cycle 

average, during my testing time the 

readouts were hovering close to 

that at 8l/100km and 6.7l/100km 

instantaneously at 100km/h, the 

engine turning over slowly at 

1900rpm. 

Interestingly, the Express van 

comes with an 80-litre tank, it 

was full of fuel when I picked it 

up and the fuel usage readout was 

indicating an achievable distance 

of 800km, the fuel gauge was also 

showing nearly full after travelling 

well over 200km during my time in 

the vehicle. 

In terms of open road 

performance the Express moves 

quietly and effortlessly, I drove it 

as I would a car and found it stable 

and balanced through the corners. 

You have take into consideration its 

construction and, of course, it’s not 

dynamic, but it does have a certain 

amount of handling prowess, it 

won’t catch you out if a corner is 

presented just that little bit quicker 

than you had anticipated. 

After a week in my care, I 

became quite attached to the 

Express van and it’s fair to say I 

made good use of its load carrying 

capacity, completing a multitude 

of different household tasks. The 

low load height making those jobs 

very easy.
