Thieves target tradesmen’s 

tools in Diamond Harbour 

• By Samantha Mythen 

WHEN DARREN Sweeney 

heard his dog barking before 

dawn he thought it was directed 

at a cat. 

But then the electrician heard 

a car idling outside his Diamond 

Harbour home. When he looked 

out the window he saw a noticed 

a small light shining near the 

canopy of his work vehicle on his 

Athol Pl driveway. 

“My adrenalin started pumping 

and I ran out the sliding door to 

investigate,” Sweeney said. 

He chased the would be thief 

down the driveway and out onto 

the road. 

“They were running at 110 

miles an hour, jumped into a 

wagon and sped off,” he said. 

The incident last Tuesday 

was the second in a week where 

thieves have targeted tradies in 

Diamond Harbour. 

Koromiko Cres resident Scott 

Halliwell had $2000 of DeWalt 

tools and nail guns stolen from 

his vehicle. 

“It seems someone obviously 

doesn’t care much for anyone else 

especially in the current times,” 

Halliwell said.

POLICE HAVE been doing 

reassurance patrols during 

lockdown (see page 3). 

They have been checking 

on essential businesses that 

can operate during level 4 and 

generally having a presence in 

Lyttelton and the bays to make 

people feel better. 

But that will come as no 

consolation to Scott Halliwell 

who lost $2000 of tools to a 

thief in Diamond Harbour 

(see page 1). 

The thief unlocked his vehicle’s 

canopy and helped him or 

herself. 

It seems like thieves have 

been doing the rounds in 

Diamond Harbour targeting 

tradie vehicles. 

Electrician Darren 

Sweeney’s vehicle was also 

targeted but his barking dog 

alerted him. 

He spotted a vehicle outside 

his home, saw activity on his 

driveway and managed to 

chase the would-be offender 

away.

Freckles 

by Cecelia Ahern 

Ferrymead 

Five people. Five chances. One woman’s search for happiness. 

Allegra Bird’s arms are scattered with freckles, a gift from her beloved father. 

But despite her nickname, Freckles has never been able to join all the dots. 

So when a stranger tells her that everyone is the average of the 

five people they spend the most time with, it opens up 

something deep inside. 

The trouble is, Freckles doesn’t know if she has five 

people. And if not, what does that say about her? 

She’s left her unconventional father and her friends 

behind for a bold new life in Dublin, but she’s still an 

outsider. 

Now, in a quest to understand, she must find not 

one but five people who shape her – and who will 

determine her future. 

Told in Allegra’s vivid, original voice, moving from modern 

Dublin to the fierce Atlantic coast, this is an unforgettable story of 

human connection, of friendship, and of growing into your own skin. 

The Unexpected Patient 

True Kiwi stories of life, death and unforgettable clinical 

cases by Himali McInnes 

Stories of life, death and unforgettable clinical cases. 

A psychiatrist and a patient with supernatural connections. A family man’s 

resilience as he recovers from a life-changing terrorist attack. A rural nurse 

specialist and his incredible roadside rescue of a woman on the brink 

of cardiac death. A trauma therapist caught in the aftermath of a violent 

methamphetamine episode. 

The Unexpected Patient tells the stories of patients who impacted health carers 

in unforgettable ways: patients who showed stubborn perseverance on the road 

to recovery, who clung to hope in the face of unexpected trauma, and who 

illuminated the indomitable depths of the human spirit. 

These stories look at the things that lead to bad health outcomes, from the 

seeds that are set before we are born, to the personal choices we make, and to 

societal and health sector shortcomings. Yet, ultimately, The Unexpected Patient 

is about human relationships and the bonds forged between two people: a 

medic and that one, unforgettable patient.

“A local team for local people”

Wednesday September 1 2021 Bay Harbour News 


BUSINESSES ARE giving the 

thumbs up to police reassurance 

patrols during lockdown. 

Lyttelton police Sergeant John 

Moody and his station team of 

four have been providing daily 

reassurance patrols in Banks 

Peninsula from Lyttelton around 

the bays to Diamond Harbour, 

as well as over the hill and into 

Sumner. 

The police presence is to 

reassure people they are there 

and are available to help out if 

needed. 

“We have been visiting essential 

businesses that are able to 

stay open during the level four 

lockdown, such as supermarkets, 

service centres and dairies in the 

area,” he said. 

“We are reassuring people, 

letting businesses know what 

to do in different situations, 

educating and observing, and 

providing an overall police 

presence.” 

Moody said the patrols started 

on day one of lockdown and 

have continued since, as part of 

a nationwide initiative. 

Supervalue Lyttelton is one of 

the businesses Moody and his 

team have visited. 

Store manager Rob De Thier 

said the visit was “very good and 

very reassuring.” 

“The police asked how we were 

getting on and if we had any 

issues,” he said. 

“Luckily, although, we have 

been very busy, Lyttelton people 

aren’t panic buying, and we 

really thank the community for 

this.” 

De Thier said they had only 

seen a few people coming in 

not wearing masks, but they 

had a box of disposable masks

owner James Grant said 

the store had also been visited by

“It is very reassuring to see 

the police out and about,” he 

said. 

During the lockdown, Moody 

said his station had paused 

inquiries and investigations 

and their primary focus was

“priority events and reassurance

“We have paused some lines of 

work so as not to put ourselves 

and others at risk, doing visits 

when we don’t have to,” he said. 

Moody said few lockdown 

breaches had been reported so 

far and most people in his team’s 

area were “sticking to the rules.” 

“I am really happy with 

everyone’s efforts,” he said.

SUMNER RUGBY’S Almighty 

Tiger Sharks have gone 

undefeated this season. 

The under 10/11 Rippa team, 

the only all-girls team in the 

mixed grade, were unbeaten 

with the final two games of the 

season cancelled due to the 

Covid-19 lockdown. 

Said coach Shaun Halliwell: 

“They are a remarkable group of 

girls that not only play and train 

hard but they play the game 

with the utmost respect to the 

teams they verse.” 

The Tiger Sharks team comprises 

10 female players (“no 

smelly boys,” said Halliwell), 

from across Sumner, Mt Pleasant 

and Redcliffs. 

They range in ages from eight 

to 11. 

The Canterbury Rugby 

Football Union introduced the 

Rippa grade this year. 

“CRFU are trying to 

encourage kids who perhaps 

would leave at a younger age 

when the only option is to 

move to tackle rugby. This is 

encouraging more kids to keep 

up playing rugby by offering the 

less ‘physical’ Rippa option,” 


“And it is also keeping girls 

in the game, and this is what’s 

been recognised by many as 

quite unique and special.” 

Halliwell’s daughter Georgie, 

10, is in the team. 

“She absolutely loves rugby 

and has been playing it since 

she was five or six years old,” he 

said. 

He took on the role of coach 

this year. 

“The Tiger Sharks are an 

awesome bunch of young ladies 

and trust me, it’s got nothing to 

do with the coach, I’m just there 

to peel oranges,” he said. 

“They are extremely funny, 

enthusiastic and full of life.” 

Halliwell said some of the 


Rippa season for rugby girls 

girls in the team who had never 

played before had become some 

of the top players over the 

season. 

They trained every Wednesday 

for an hour, with games on 

Saturday morning. 

“The girls were pretty upset 

the rest of this season was cancelled 

but most of them are very 

keen to play again next year,” 


“They absolutely flourished 

this season to become a great 

team. I’m already excited to see 

how they do next year.” 

SKILLED: 

Sumner 

Rugby Club’s 

under 10/11 

Rippa team, 

the Tiger 

Sharks, 

came away 

undefeated 

this season. 

They are the 

only all-girls 

team in their 

mixed grade. 

Junior club captain Richie 

Dimbleby said the club was 

immensely proud of the girls, 

not just for their wins but for 

the way they played and worked 

together as a team. 

“Halliwell has also done a fantastic 

job coaching the girls this 

year,” Dimbleby said. 

He said a focus of the Sumner 

Rugby Club has been encouraging 

more females to take part in 

the sport. 

This year, the club had more 

than 30 girls under 11 years old, 

compared to 20 last year.

Trapping project 

receives a 

$3000 grant 

PREDATOR FREE Redcliffs has 

received $3000 to involve the 

local community in its backyard 

trapping project. 

The organisation, which is part 

of the Redcliffs Residents Association, 

received a grant from the 

Backyard Communities Fund as 

part of Predator Free 2050. 

It is one of only 11 organisations 

receiving a grant, nationwide. 

Redcliffs Residents Association 

secretary Pat McIntosh said the 

group was “delighted” to receive 

the grant. 

The organisation hopes to make 

an impact on pests in the area by 

getting at least one in five Redcliffs 

properties trapping in their backyard. 

With the grant, they plan to hold 

trap building days to make rat tunnels 

to take home; provide ready 

access to heavily subsidised traps 

and general support. 

“By keeping records of the 

species caught and their numbers, 

we can direct our efforts across 

the area to where they will be most 

useful and monitor progress,” 

McIntosh said. 

“The recent showing of Fight for 

the Wild on television has shown 

how highly committed local 

groups can make a real impact.”

Breaking lockdown rules? You could be 


A SATIRICAL Facebook page 

is making sure the Sumner 

community is following 

lockdown rules. 

The Sumner Quarantine 

Nark Association shares photos 

and videos of people breaking 

lockdown restrictions on its 

Facebook page of the same 

name. 

THe most recent post on 

Monday featured a video of a dog 

wandering Sumner’s streets. 

“Un-leashed dog on the 

Esplanade, potentially carrying 

Covid in its fur. Suspected 

boomer owners. Do better,” said 

the page. 

THe nark association was 

founded at the beginning of the 

first nationwide lockdown in 

March 2020. 

As we went into the second 

nationwide lockdown, the page 

became active again. 

THe official nark association 

spokesperson and founder said 

the page was just “satire” and it 

“spawned from boredom during 

the first lockdown.” 

“Most of the posts are mocking 

a lot of comments I had seen on 

news articles during lockdown 

number one. A bit of satire, 

which most people got a laugh 

out of, but some not so much,” 

they said. 

BREAKING THE RULES: A lone surfer hits the Sumner waves last week, narked on by the 

Sumner Quarantine Nark Association. Photo posted on August 25. 

One commenter said the page 

was the highlight of the last 

lockdown. 

Last week, the page narked on 

a surfer out trying to conquer the 

unusually empty Sumner waves. 

“Terrifying breach happening 

right now at Sumner beach. 

Absolute madness,” captioned 

the photo. 

Under level four lockdown 

restrictions, all water-based 

activities such as surfing are 

prohibited as they may require 

search and rescue services. 

Last Saturday, a post said: 

“Children playing on the 

playground by the clock tower 

this morning. It’s probably 

riddled with Covid now so keep 

away from the area.” 

A day later, the nark 

association warned about 

someone in a “white sedan 

throwing chicken nuggets at 

pedestrians.” 

“As if we didn’t have enough to 

worry about right now. Chicken 

nugget had one bite was taken 

out of it and no sauce. Keep your 

head on a swivel,” said the post. 

THe spokesperson said: “I 

guess it’s not an official rule, 

but I’m pretty sure Bloomfield 

wouldn’t be too impressed with 

people throwing chicken nuggets 

at pedestrians.” 

Most of the early posts 

targeted those who drove to the 

Sumner esplanade to head out 

for a surf, a bike ride, a run or a 

walk. 

THe spokesperson said people 

driving across town to go surfing 

was the most common lockdown 

rule broken last year. 

“THis time around, it’s a lot 

better but there are definitely 

loads of people driving in from 

other suburbs (this is what a 

police officer told me so I’m not 

just making assumptions here),” 

they said.

narked on 

Sumner’s Charlie Hudson 

said in spite of the negative 

connotations surrounding the 

“nark” name of the page – it 

was “definitely working” in 

encouraging people to obey 

lockdown rules. 

“I know many people are not 

choosing to go for a sneaky 

swim or surf because they know 

they will be discovered,” she 

said. 

“THe page is a good tongue in 

cheek reminder of the rules.” 

THere are a few people 

working behind the scenes 

on the page but they choose 

“quality over quantity” over the 

posts they share. 

THe spokesperson said during 

this lockdown there were few 

people submitting anything 

serious, rather people were 

“mostly dobbing their mates in 

and fabricating stories in the 

name of humour.’’ 

“As far as I am aware 

everything posted is 100 per cent 

true including the post about the 

chicken nugget-throwing,” they 

said. 

“I would like to thank Marnie 

Kent for inspiration, she does 

an excellent job of moderating 

the countless other Sumner 

Facebook groups. Secondly, I’d 

like to thank anyone named 

Karen. And lastly, if you don’t 

have a sense of humour, please 

unfollow the page.”

AN ORGANISATION working 

to make ocean science more 

sustainable and accessible, 

with a focus on Banks 

Peninsula, has received 

$20,000 of funding. 

Blue Cradle founder 

and chief executive 

James Nikitine said the 

money will be used to 

create a paid co-ordinator 

position who will be 

responsible for running 

in-class workshops at 

primary schools as well 

as promoting the organisation’s 

overall strategy of encouraging 

community education about the 

local coastal environment. 

“They will also help with our 

social media pages and with 

participation in community 

events such as Estuary Fest in 

Mt Pleasant next year,” he said. 

The money received is from 

the most recent round of grants 

of the city council’s Sustainability 

Fund. 

Nikitine said he was 

“thrilled” to have the 

city council’s support. 

“We are aiming to 

promote ocean literacy, 

encouraging people to 

understand the importance 

of the ocean, and 

the effects of climate 

change and biodiversity 

loss,” he said. 

The organisation’s first project 

focused on marine diversity in 

Banks Peninsula, specifically on 

the white-flippered penguins, 

which are endemic to the area, 

and Motunau Island. 

It worked with Pōhatu Penguins

wondered whether the thieves

After the population survey 

was completed, the organisation 

produced a documentary in 

partnership with Kororātahi 

Creative, co-directing with 

Kerepeti Paraone from Ngāti 

Wheke, promoting penguin 

conservation. 

The goal of the documentary 

was to create an easy to understand 

narrative connecting the 

audience to the penguin story. 

They will be continuing this 

work, as well as exploring new 

projects on data collection and 

outreach, Nikitine said. 

On World Oceans Day in 

June, the organisation hosted 

pupils from Lyttelton Harbour 

schools, teaching them about 

their local ocean environment. 

Blue Cradle was started 

during lockdown last year. 

Residents’ meeting to discuss action 

lose any tools. 

“I’m not a fan of Big Brother 

but it’s moments like these that 

make me wonder about installing 

more surveillance,” he said. 

Like in Halliwell’s case, the 

thief had unlocked the canopy 

without damaging the vehicle. 

“It’s such a shame as this is a 

great, tight-knit community,” he 

said. 

A member of the Diamond 

Harbour Community Association, 

Halliwell said he will bring 

the recent thefts and attempted 

thefts up at the next meeting to 

discuss any action the residents 

can take. 

“All we can really do is keep 

an eye out for each other right 

now.” 

Police said they are investigating 

the theft, but would say if 

they thought the two incidents 

were connected.

Project Lyttelton organised a vegetarian Indian cooking class before 

lockdown began. Led by Madhu Rees, people learned how to prepare, 

cook and serve traditional Indian food. Project Lyttelton was extremely 

impressed with Rees’ passion for Indian cooking and the effort she put 

into the evening. 

DISTRIBUTION: Boxes from the Diamond Harbour 

community were soon filled with donated food and 

essential items from the Cholmondeley Children’s Centre 

to be donated to families in need. 

Food parcels for those in need 


ESSENTIAL FOOD items have 

been delivered to those in need 

with the help of the Diamond 

Harbour community and the 

Cholmondeley Children’s 

Centre. 

One hundred and twentyeight 

boxes of packaged food 

items and fresh fruit and 

vegetables were packed and 

delivered last Tuesday to 

Christchurch families. 

Melanie Jeffs Gresty, who 

works at the children’s centre, 

asked her fellow Diamond 

Harbour residents for help as 

the organisation had all these 

essential supplies, but no way to 

package them up. 

263 x 180 

Community members donated 

boxes and paper bags, 

enabling the centre to create 

food packages. 

“As an organisation, we have 

not done food boxes before. 

We normally provide respite 

for children while they are at 

Cholmondeley,” centre manager 

Robyn Wallace. 

“However, we were given the 

opportunity to access this food 

while in lockdown and so we 

sprung into action to ensure we 

could provide for families who 

needed extra support during 

this time.” 

Wallace said the help they 

received from the Diamond 

Harbour community was “wonderful.” 

“It’s wonderful to see the 

generosity of people,” she said.

NEWS 


A NEW children’s book 

written by a Sumner author 

is connecting Australia and 

New Zealand through a 

child’s imagination while also 

normalising hearing disabilities. 

Kiwis and Koalas is a sentiment 

of Sarah Milne’s own life. 

Although she was born in 

Christchurch, Milne learned to 

“walk and talk” in Melbourne, 

Australia after moving there 

with her family when she was 

two years old. 

She’s been back and forth 

between the two countries ever 

since and has lived in Sumner for 

two-and-a-half years. 

“I have a deep-rooted connection 

to Australia,” she said. 

Although this is her first published 

book, Milne has always 

loved writing, taking part in 

New Zealand writing competitions 

and classes since she was 

young. 

It was when she was pregnant 

with her daughter, Ivy, and was 

diagnosed with cytomegalovirus, 

the first stirrings of a story about 

kiwis and koalas began to string 

themselves from words into 

sentences in her heart. 

“The story about a girl with a 

hearing aid, pottering around in 

a garden with her dog, just living 

a normal life, begun swirling 

round in my mind.” 

This then connected with 

her own childhood and having 

grown up with “a bridge” 

between Australia and New 

Zealand. 

“I could not have foreseen 

Covid-19 and I know right now 

for many, including myself, 

there’s this deep feeling and wish 

we could just go over there.” 


Children’s book a tool to raise awareness about 

KIWIS AND KOALAS: Sarah Milne’s first childrens’ book bridges the connection between 

New Zealand and Australia through the imagination of a young girl with a hearing 

disability. The idea came to her when she was pregnant with Ivy (now 4). 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Ivy tested negative for CMV 

at birth and knowing just how 

lucky she was, Milne said she did 

not want to take her healthy baby 

for granted. 

“I had this level of survivor’s 

guilt,” she said. 

“Whenever I saw other parents 

out with their kids in prams, 

kids who clearly were disabled 

due to CMV, I felt so guilty to 

just be able to walk away with 

my own positive outcome.” 

Milne hopes Kiwis and Koalas 

can be a tool to help raise awareness 

about CMV and make a difference 

for those who suffer from 

the disease and their families, 

with a blurb at the back of the 

book detailing the disease. 

“When you Google ‘CMV,’ of 

all the stories shared by families, 

the first thing they say is why did 

no one tell us about this disease 

before?” she said. 

“I want to help change this.” 

Milne grew up with a backyard 

leading to dense New Zealand 

bush. She used to “go and get lost 

and make huts.” 

“The girl in the story is told she 

is a little bit Aussie and a little bit 

Kiwi and the mum wishes they 

could build a bridge between the 

two countries,” she said. 

“The girl then goes to explore 

the bush and stumbles across a 

bridge, and her imagination and 

memory comes alive.” 

Milne is “really proud” of the 

response she has received from 

the deaf community.

virus 

“There are a lot of disability 

books out there that only reach a 

certain community,” she said. 

“In this book, the disability is 

only really subtly part of the story. 

It’s not mentioned, it’s just how it 

is.” 

A woman living in Canada 

reached out to Milne recently over 

Instagram. 

She told Milne, that she was 

waiting in her car, scrolling 

through Instagram looking 

through the CMV hashtag, when 

her daughter who has CMV 

looked over her shoulder and said, 

“look Mum, there’s me,” pointing 

to Milne’s character with a hearing 

aid. 

“I read this and thought, my job 

is done.” 

Kiwis and Koalas will officially 

launch on September 19, at 

10.30am in the Sumner Surf Lifesaving 

Club. 

In collaboration with Sumner 

cafe Niche, people can exchange 

the coloured-in invite for a free 

fluffy and hot drink on the 19th. 

On the day of the launch, there 

will be face painting, a Q+A, 

and a reading of the book with a 

Deaf Aotearoa NZSL interpreter 

present.

Painting of Lyttelton in 

1850 by J. Gibb 

Coming around the crest of 

the Christchurch (now Sumner) 

Rd into Cavendish Bay, one 

would have been greeted by 

the stony cliffs of Okete Upoko 

where the hotly contested Port 

Cooper Deed of Sale was signed 

just the year before by Ngāi Tahu 

rangatira and a representative of 

the British Crown. 

The ‘Basket of Heads’ overlooks 

the slopes of the ancient 

Ngati Mamoe settlement of 

Ōhinehou where, in Gibb’s 

painting, John Robert Godley’s 

Canterbury Association has 

been busy building a lovely 

two-storey six-bedroom home 

for his soon to arrive wife Charlotte 

and family. 

Godley’s House stands in 

that last bend of Christchurch 

Rd before it turns left into 

Oxford St and plunges down 

to the jetty. The house’s 

foundations were discovered 

beneath Plunket House at 4 

Sumner Rd when the latter was 

demolished after the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

In front of that, on the corner 

of Oxford St, stands the land 

agent’s office, home, and stables. 


The remainder of the buildings 

in that block all the way down to 

the seawall is the Immigration 

Barracks housing the bulk of the 

Canterbury Association’s 

first customers – colonial settlers 

bound for the Canterbury 

Plains.

Treasures from the past 

Reproduction of a painting of Lyttelton in 1850 by J. Gibb 

Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum reference 14625.11 

https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1135379 

According to the builder 

Captain Thomas, the barracks 

consisted of “four large 

emigration barracks holding 

from 200 to 300 people (nearly 

completed); kitchen and wash 

house, privies, well 44 feet deep 

. . . all enclosed with fence and 

gates.” 

These excellent 

accommodations, as well 

as the jetty, the roads, 25 

houses, two hotels, and a small 

customs house, were all built by 

Lyttelton’s founding population 

of 100 European and 100 Māori 

workers, all under the employ of 

the association. 

While initially overwhelmed 

by the more than 800 new 

arrivals on the first fleet of 

four ships, the barracks would 

also become the town centre, 

allegedly housing at one time 

or another over the ensuing 

years: a library; a courthouse; 

Reverend Dudley’s church (now 

the British Hotel); Reverend 

Cotterill’s grammar school 

(before moving to Christ’s 

College); as well as the town hall 

and even a collegiate precursor 

to Canterbury University, all 

as needed while the town of 

Lyttelton grew steadily outwards 

from its modest colonial 

beginnings.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Many opportunities for lab technicians 

Over the past two years, 

more than two million 

COVID-19 tests have been 

performed in New Zealand 

alone. However, the 

important work done by 

laboratory technicians goes 

far beyond helping fight 

global pandemics. 

“COVID-19 has shown 

the world the importance 

of high-quality lab testing, 

but lab technicians do 

important work across 

many other sectors,” says 

Dr Grant Bennett, Ara 

Institute of Canterbury’s 

programme leader for laboratory science. 

Food manufacturing, environmental 

monitoring, quality assurance, human 

health, veterinary diagnostics and product 

development are just some of areas lab 

technicians work in. “This profession can 

take you in so many directions and you 

can make a real difference by helping 

our community, our environment and 

supporting local industries,” Grant says. 

Ara Institute of Canterbury offers three 

qualifications for aspiring lab technicians: 

two diplomas and a graduate diploma. Each 

is industry driven and heavily hands-on with 

a focus on employment. Work placements 

are included with the Level 6 diploma and 

the graduate diploma. 

“Our class sizes are small, our programmes 

are highly practical, and our labs are 

equipped with the same gear that’s used in 

industry,” Grant says. “Students gain a broad 

range of lab skills, but also many transferable 

‘soft’ skills essential to employment, such 

as workflow management, teamwork and 

communication.” 

Michelle Knowler studied Ara’s Level 5 

Diploma in Applied Science. “It’s a good 

option if you’re straight from high school,” 

she says. “It’s much more practical than 

theoretical, which I really liked.” Michelle’s 

goal is to take her skills back to Vanuatu and 

to encourage more women there into science 

careers. 

After completing a Bachelor of Science 

at Otago University, Sam Suzuki studied 

Ara’s Graduate Diploma in Laboratory 

Technology. He knew that the advanced 

laboratory experience he’d gain, along 

with the experience he’d get from the work 

placement, would equip him with hands-on, 

industry relevant skills that would make him 

work-ready. 

Sam was right. His work placement was 

at Plant & Food Research and now he’s 

employed there as a lab technician/research 

associate within its annual crops group. 

All three laboratory technology 

programmes start at Ara in February. For 

more details, see ara.ac.nz.

Alluring views, effortless outdoor 

entertaining and serene surroundings are 

key components to this sleek three-bedroom 

abode which enjoys premier placement on 

the slopes of Mt Pleasant. 

Positioned to perfection, this residence was 

not only designed to maximise the outstanding 

outlook over the water and beyond to the 

Southern Alps, but its north-west facing 

orientation also ensures it soaks up the 

sunshine while avoiding the chilling easterly. 

Elegantly modernised over recent years, the 

interior features a contemporary kitchen and 

island bench dressed in crisp white, while 

two tiled bathrooms comfortably servicing 

the household. 

A striking cathedral ceiling with exposed 

rafters provides a dramatic focal point in the 

sun filled open plan living and dining area, 

which is matched only by the beauty of the 

surrounding landscape that's framed by fully 

double-glazed windows. A sun-soaked deck 


also streams seamlessly off this central space, 

which makes for a thoroughly laid-back 

setting for summertime gatherings. 

All three double bedrooms feature built-in 

wardrobes and link with the leafy 895sqm 

site that comprises grassed terraces and 

numerous alfresco areas where you can 

entertain with ease and in privacy while 

taking in the breath-taking scenery. 

Practicality has been well and truly covered 

with ample storage, a separate laundry and 

internal access double garage with easy 

drive-on access as well as additional 

off-street parking. 

Peacefully located up a private lane off 

Soleares Avenue - near the Ferrymead shopping 

precinct, local Mount Pleasant Primary 

School (decile 10), the yacht club, 

McCormacks Bay Reserve and the coastal 

walkway takes you around to Sumner Beach. 

It ensures you can fully embrace a coastal 

and recreational lifestyle while being 

within a comfortable 20-minute commute 

of the central city. Selling as owner moving 

to Australia.

Ford’s old favourites pave way for Escape 

FOR THOSE like me who have 

reached their senior years, you 

will remember fondly the cars we 

grew up with, most of which were 

English. 

The Ford Motor Company was 

well represented here – Popular, 

Anglia and Prefect were names 

I remember well, in fact it was 

the family’s three-speed Prefect I 

learnt to drive in. 

If you had access to a hefty 

amount of overseas funds you 

may well have been lucky enough 

to score a Consul, Zephyr or even 

Zodiac. 

Those cars set the foundation 

for Ford becoming a trusted and 

recognised brand in New Zealand 

and today nothing has changed, 

the product line-up is extensive 

and is sourced globally. 

One of the latest to come 

my way was the Spanish-built 

Escape, a mid-size sport utility 

vehicle that represents everything 

a buyer would want in a family 

wagon. 

The new Escape lands in a 

five-model line-up, two and fourwheel-drive 

variants, and now 

there is the option of a plug-in 

hybrid. This evaluation focuses 

on the ST-Line four-wheel-drive 

at $50,990. 

Prices for the range start at 

$42,990 and end at $55,990 for 

petrol-only models. The hybrids 

are likely to land in New Zealand 

towards the end of the year and 

will be priced at $60,990 and 

$66,990. 

The newcomer is flash, it has 

a bold, muscular body style. It 

is curvy and has flowing lines, it 

shows real presence and follows 

similar styling to that that has 

made Ford’s small SUV – the 

Puma – so attractive. 

The Escape carries on as before, 

it gets the 2-litre EcoBoost 

engine of its predecessor, the 

four-cylinder unit is a real gem 

in terms of performance and 

economy. 

The engine is rated at 183kW 

and 387Nm, which is due to the 

turbocharging system fitted to 

the twin-camshaft, 16-valve unit. 

It offers significant boost at a 

low operating area. Peak power 

arrives at just 5700rpm while 

maximum torque is available at 

3100rpm. The significance of 

those figures is the punchy way 

the engine works. It is feisty and 

lively, yet it delivers with little 

audible sound. 

If you also factor in the 

way power is transferred 

through a silky-smooth eightspeed 

automatic gearbox, the 

driveline is structured for 

quick momentum and it has a 

responsive nature. 

The Escape in GT-Line form 

USER-FRIENDLY: A large central screen controls many of 

the Escape’s in-cabin functions. It is intuitive to use. 

FORD ESCAPE: Plenty of choices along with the option of plug-in hybrid. 

will accelerate to 100km/h from 

a standstill in 8sec and will 

complete an overtaking time of 

5.2sec to make 120km/h from 

80km/h. 

Ford is very proud of its 

EcoBoost range of engines, they 

have been developed not so 

much for the performance I’ve 

just commented on, but they also 

stand out for economy. 

I drove the new Escape many 

times at city speeds commuting 

for a fair chunk of my evaluation, 

normally that type of running 

isn’t kind to economy. However, 

the fuel usage readout was listing 

at a respectable 9.6-litre per 

100km when I took the car back 

to the Sockburn dealership. 

That’s not that far distant to 

Ford’s combined cycle average 

claim of 8.6l/100km, and that’s 

put into perspective when you 

take into account the 4.5l/100km 

figure sitting instantaneously at 

a steady 100km/h, the engine 

turning over very relaxed at just 

1500rpm. 

The evaluation car was riding 

on high grade Continental tyres 

(225/60 x 18in). With their 

wide footprint and formidable 

reputation there is a lot of 

steering feel and strong selfcantering 

application within the 

steering mechanism. Turn-in 

is direct and accuracy with the 

handling process is positive. 

I particularly like the way the

eight-speed automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

8sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km 

Escape handles, and that doesn’t 

surprise me, I’m a big European 

Ford fan, and the way the 

designers engineer balance and 

handling ability into the chassis 

of a sport utility vehicle is a credit 

to them. 

Sport utility vehicles with 

their height would, by the 

law of physics, be a lot more 

cumbersome than they are, 

but the Escape doesn’t move 

awkwardly in a corner, the 

sporting and damper rates easily 

contain gravitational movement 

without the cost of a firm ride. 

The occupants are treated to high 

levels of comfort. 

I guess a lot of that has to do 

with the sophistication within the 

suspension, the fully independent 

suspension system has supple 

movement. Of course, any vehicle 

of this ilk that has four-wheeldrive 

locates the rear driving 

wheels through an independent 

system, and the manufacturers 

today see that as a way to 

promote ride comfort as well as 

maintain tyre contact to ground. 

The Escape is also fitted 

with state-of-the-art gear for 

convenience and safety. Some of 

the major items include satellite 

navigation, voice recognition 

communication and infotainment, 

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 

and radar cruise control. 

Of course, it is also fivestar 

Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program safety rated. 

The new Escape has a lot to live 

up to. I remember when the first 

iteration landed in 2001 it was 

competing head-to-head with 

Mazda’s Tribute, essentially the 

same car. The Escape started with 

a V6 engine and then, of course, 

the Volvo unit as generations 

changed. 

Since then turbocharged 

engines of varying capacities have 

powered the Kuga and Escape, 

and buyers have related well to 

those exciting power plants. 

The Escape lands here with 

a strong European feel that is 

something I particularly like. 

However, that doesn’t make it 

awkward, the best of all things 

Ford does is characterised in 

the Escape and there is plenty of 

choice within the line-up to meet 

tastes and demands.

Museum’s metal cladding tiles for $1,500 each. 

To begin our fundraising journey, 

we have launched a campaign for 

the community to cloak the building by 

purchasing the metal tiles that will cover 

most of the exterior. 

Significant funds are also being sought from 

corporates, trusts and grants and individual 

philanthropists. 

By purchasing a tile you will be helping, and showing 

community support for, this project. 

We have been delighted at the response so far, from the 

Lyttelton business community and local residents.
