MORE CONSULTATION PLANNED FOR DIAMOND HARBOUR PROPERTIES The city council has resolved to undertake additional targeted consultation regarding the properties at 27 Hunters Rd and 42 Whero Ave in Diamond Harbour. Planning is currently underway and the city council aims to begin community consultation from mid-August. The land was originally in the Long Term Plan for fast track disposal for property development, but submissions called for community consultation prior to sale. Treasures from the past HMAS Sydney (D48) at Lyttelton in 1946 PHOTO: Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum collection HMS TERRIBLE was one of six majestic class light aircraft carriers commissioned for the British Royal Navy during World War 2. Laid down in 1943, launched late 1944, she was too late for war service. Acquired by the Royal Australian Navy in 1948, she was renamed His Majesty’s Australian Ship Sydney (III) in honour of the light cruiser HMAS Sydney (II) that sank in 1941 with the tragic loss of all aboard. HMAS Sydney (III) finally sailed from Devonport in the UK in early 1949, bound for Australia with a complement of Hawker Sea Furies on board. HMAS Sydney visited New Zealand several times over the next two decades, although the photograph shown here, docked at Lyttelton Port, is somewhat ambiguous as to the date. The reverse of the photo reads ‘17 G082 / HMAS Sydney berthed at Lyttelton / (about 1946) / photographed by / F E McGregor / Z236.’ The estimated year 1946 is obviously too early as the carrier remained in the UK until 1949. However, if you look closely, the planes on deck appear to be Sea Furies, indicating she was in active carrier service at the time. Sydney’s first visit to New Zealand was in February 1950, when she called at Milford Sound, Akaroa, Lyttelton and Wellington, arriving in Auckland on March 15. The next recorded visit to our shores was between March and August 1953, but only to Auckland on return from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, with representatives of all three branches of the Australian and New Zealand defence forces on board. Finally, it appears that it was only after Sydney’s refit as a training ship, minus Sea Furies, that she returned to New Zealand on her first training cruise in May 1955. In the years afterward, HMAS Sydney trained in our fair waters several times. She also served as a troop transporter, which included transporting the first New Zealand infantry force sent to the Vietnam War in May 1967. Decommissioned in 1973, she was sold for scrap to South Korea. Given this brief history, it would seem certain then that the arrival in Lyttelton Port pictured above would have to date from sometime between February and mid-March 1950. If you can corroborate or correct that date for us please email Te Ūaka Lyttelton Museum: info@teuaka.org.nz Vashti Johnstone Little River Gallery 31 July – 24 August Vashti Johnstone is a contemporary New Zealand painter, new to Little River Gallery, but not new to exhibiting. Living and working on the South Island’s West Coast she has been a student of visual language forever, formalising her innate need to express and articulate with a Diploma in Painting, Aoraki Polytechnic (2001) Johnstones’s oeuvre applauds the vitality and importance of making art. Respectful of and roused by the lineage of creators who have gone before her and create alongside her, she pushes her practice in energizing and innovative ways, layering her charcoal and her paints into a colourful language that transcends beyond words. Echoing men and women known to Vashti, people who are present and others who have gone before her, Authentic Whisperings explores the tranquillity of people as they expose their flaws and vulnerabilities to the light, attaining wisdom, legitimacy and peace within the authenticity of their own skin.
