Although numbers were<br />

down on previous years, more<br />

than 100 people turned up to<br />

DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> residents<br />

may soon have a new community<br />

garden where they can access free<br />

vegetables and herbs.<br />

Te Ahu Patiki/Mt Herbert<br />

Community Garden Group is<br />

seeking a lease over Laurenson<br />

Park to develop a community<br />

garden for residents.<br />

The group plans to create a<br />

garden that would include vegetables,<br />

herbs, berry plantings, an<br />

orchard and a food forest, along<br />

with a wildflower area that would<br />

encourage pollinating insects.<br />

The plan also includes a family<br />

and children’s area, complete with<br />

a barbecue and play area.<br />

But Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> resident<br />

Bex Gibbs said she would prefer to<br />

see a dog park or native walkway<br />

in Laurenson Park.<br />

“For local parents, we want to<br />

have large open green spaces that<br />

are accessible within the community.<br />

It would make a place for a<br />

nice central hub for our kids to go<br />

and play,” said Gibbs.<br />

So far the city council has<br />

received 76 submissions on the<br />

community garden plan.<br />

The project will be open for<br />

feedback until December 6.<br />

Removal of fanworm begins in harbour<br />

LYTTELTON Port Company’s<br />

dive team recently began<br />

removing marine pest<br />

Mediterranean fanworm (Sabella<br />

spallanzanii) from the inner<br />

harbour.<br />

Three divers plus a dive attendant<br />

began the arduous task of<br />

removing the fanworm by hand<br />

at Te Ana Marina. The marina is<br />

one of six immediate high-risk<br />

locations under investigation in<br />

the harbour over at least the next<br />

three months.<br />

Fanworm has been present<br />

in low numbers in the inner<br />

harbour for over a decade and<br />

is a threat to native biodiversity<br />

and commercial marine farming<br />

operations.<br />

But the trend in the number<br />

detected over recent surveys has<br />

risen and the likelihood of continued<br />

spread within and beyond<br />

the inner harbour has made this<br />

issue a high priority.<br />

The fanworm is a large worm<br />

with a long, leathery tube that is<br />

pale brown in colour. The tube<br />

is usually fixed to a hard surface<br />

and can grow up to 80cm in<br />

length. They have long tentacles<br />

at the top of the tube, which look<br />

like a spiral fan and are usually<br />

orange, purple or white.<br />

Fanworm attaches to hard<br />

structures in sheltered marine<br />

environments, including pontoons,<br />

piles and vessels. They<br />

MARINE PEST: Lyttelton Port Company divers have started<br />

removing the Mediterranean fanworm by hand.<br />

are easily spread by vessel movements<br />

and reproduce rapidly.<br />

Training is required to be able<br />

to properly identify the fanworm<br />

from the native tubeworm and<br />

then effectively remove it.<br />

LPC’s immediate response<br />

will see divers travel along<br />

underwater surfaces within the<br />

target areas and remove the pest<br />

by hand.<br />

The wider response will be<br />

led by Environment Canterbury<br />

and the Ministry for Primary<br />

Industries to survey and remove<br />

fanworm from other areas within<br />

the harbour.<br />

LPC project lead Kirsty<br />

Brennan said the immediate<br />

campaign is an important one to<br />

kick off in the inner harbour.<br />

“We needed to get this project<br />

underway as soon as possible<br />

really given the known hot spots,<br />

and with help from our project<br />

partners we were thankfully able<br />

to get started at the beginning of<br />

<strong>November</strong>,” she said.<br />

“Fanworm can multiply<br />

quickly, so we want to reduce<br />

the population to stop its spread,<br />

especially going into the warmer<br />

INNER HARBOUR: Te Ana Marina is one of six priority areas<br />

where the fanworm (below) has been identified.<br />

months when vessel movements<br />

are only going to increase.”<br />

Funding has been granted<br />

from the Whaka Ora Healthy<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> project to contract<br />

commercial dive services, and<br />

funding and resources are being<br />

provided by LPC to contribute to<br />

the immediate response and to<br />

the long-term plan.<br />

Mountain biker happy to be back<br />

Mountain biker<br />

Ethan Rose is back<br />

in Christchurch after<br />

competing in his first<br />

UCI Junior World Series.<br />

He talks to Fiona Ellis<br />

about the highlights<br />

and challenges that<br />

come with seven months<br />

of competing in Europe<br />

AS ETHAN ROSE tumbled to<br />

the ground in a tangle of spokes<br />

and handlebars, he knew the<br />

under-19 UCI mountain bike<br />

world championships race<br />

was going to contain an extra<br />

challenge.<br />

Half a year after Rose won the<br />

national under-19 championships<br />

in February, he was in Italy,<br />

competing in the world-class<br />

event for the first time.<br />

“Me and<br />

some other guy<br />

tangled bars<br />

going over the<br />

first 400 [metres]<br />

and both<br />

tumbled down<br />

the bank,” the<br />

Ethan Rose<br />

18-year-old said.<br />

Although<br />

uninjured, once he was back<br />

on track he realised he had lost<br />

precious time.<br />

“I came through the start<br />

loop, I think, two minutes back<br />

already, like 50th.”<br />

Pushing hard throughout the<br />

rest of the race, he made a good<br />

recovery and finished in 12th.<br />

“I looked at my lap times at<br />

the end and I think they were<br />

like top-five kind of lap times,<br />

which was a bit frustrating,”<br />

Rose said.<br />

Although crowded tracks were<br />

a hazard of the sport, it was not<br />

one he often encountered on<br />

home territory.<br />

“There are way more people<br />

[in Europe] and they’re all quick<br />

people as well . . . the depth of<br />

field is just massive.<br />

“In New Zealand, you don’t<br />

really get that because there’s not<br />

that many of you.”<br />

Rose returned home last<br />

month after spending seven<br />

months in Europe competing<br />

in the junior world series, with<br />

the world championships as the<br />

main event.<br />

Based in Switzerland, he<br />

travelled around Europe to<br />

compete in a variety of countries,<br />

AIRBORNE:<br />

Ethan Rose<br />

hurdles an<br />

obstacle<br />

during a<br />

mountain<br />

bike race in<br />

Austria.<br />

and had some good results, he<br />

said. This included winning a<br />

race in Austria, coming second<br />

in Switzerland, and third in races<br />

in Italy, France and Spain.<br />

“I was pretty happy with<br />

it. It was just good to get over<br />

there, really. Last year was a<br />

bit disappointing because we<br />

couldn’t do anything.”<br />

His plans to compete in<br />

Europe last year were scrapped<br />

after the outbreak of the<br />

Covid-19 pandemic, which also<br />

forced him to return to New<br />

Zealand shortly after arriving in<br />

the United States for what<br />

would have been a fourcompetition<br />

set.<br />

“It was quite hard to know<br />

what to do, really . . . it was<br />

training but without purpose.”<br />

Next year he will leave the<br />

junior category and compete in<br />

the under-23 age bracket and<br />

would be eligible to compete in<br />

the World Cup series, which was<br />

his goal.<br />

“It’s going to be a big step up<br />

but it should be good.”<br />

Older riders, who had made<br />

the jump from junior champions<br />

to World Cup competitors, were<br />

on hand for advice.<br />

“I do plenty of riding with<br />

them. They kind of tell you how<br />

it works.”<br />

Training six days out of seven<br />

for a weekly total of up to 25<br />

hours, the sport was almost a<br />

full-time job.<br />

When not training or<br />

competing, he also worked in<br />

an engineering workshop that<br />

allowed him a flexible schedule.<br />

He got into mountain biking at<br />

nine because Christchurch had a<br />

good cross-country scene, he said.<br />

“The first race I did was<br />

up in the Port Hills, at the<br />

Christchurch Singletrack Club.<br />

They just had races every week,<br />

so I belonged to them.”<br />

PEDAL POWER: Ethan<br />

Rose on the podium after<br />

finishing third at the Coupe<br />

de France de VTT Ussel in<br />

August.<br />

Right - Rose representing<br />

New Zealand at the UCI<br />

mountain bike world<br />

championships.<br />

Rose’s father was also a keen<br />

rider, which encouraged him to<br />

take up the sport.<br />

“We used to always ride<br />

together, and he took me to races<br />

and did them as well.”<br />

For years his father was the<br />

quicker of the two, before Rose<br />

eventually overtook him.<br />

“I was maybe 16, so I think he’s<br />

got over it now.”<br />

On leaving school, Rose<br />

struggled with the decision of<br />

whether to pursue his racing<br />

career or to study instead.<br />

“It’s kind of hard, you’ve got to<br />

bite the bullet and get over that.”<br />

His career highlight so far<br />

was winning the national<br />

championships.<br />

Arriving back in New Zealand<br />

in October, he had already taken<br />

part in the tour of Southland<br />

earlier this month.<br />

Coming from two weeks of<br />

MIQ isolation, he enjoyed being<br />

back in the saddle.<br />

He was now working more,<br />

aiming to save money for next<br />

year’s wave of competitions.<br />

Now living in Christchurch,<br />

Rose said the biggest challenge<br />

of his cycling career was finding<br />

the funds.<br />

“It’s not hard to ride your<br />

bike all the time, I enjoy it. It<br />

doesn’t feel like I’m forcing it<br />

or anything, it’s just getting the<br />

money to do it.”<br />

His dream was to follow in<br />

the footsteps of other New<br />

Zealand riders who were part of<br />

professional European teams, he<br />

said.<br />

“It’s every rider’s dream to<br />

get on a pro team and make it<br />

Will<br />

by Will smith and mark manson<br />

The ‘Event’ Autobiography of the Year - a brave, inspiring and wildly<br />

entertaining memoir full of self-help lessons for readers, from one of the<br />

world’s most charismatic and much-loved actors. One of the most dynamic<br />

and globally recognised entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about<br />

his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place<br />

where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned.<br />

Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides<br />

through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had. This memoir<br />

is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all<br />

that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. The combination<br />

of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously<br />

entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category<br />

by itself.<br />

Shackleton - A biography<br />

by ranulph Fiennes<br />

An authoritative biography of Sir Ernest Shackleton from polar adventurer<br />

Ranulph Fiennes. In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s attempt to traverse the<br />

Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice.<br />

The disaster left Shackleton and his men alone at the frozen South Pole,<br />

fighting for their lives. Their survival and escape is the most famous<br />

adventure in history. Shackleton is an engaging new account of the<br />

adventurer, his life and his incredible leadership under the most extreme of<br />

circumstances. Written by polar adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes who followed<br />

in Shackleton’s footsteps, he brings his own unique insights to bear on these<br />

infamous expeditions.<br />

Shackleton is both re-appraisal and a valediction, separating the man from<br />

the myth he has become.<br />

The Spirit of Cardrona: Where Dreams<br />

are Hatched<br />

the inspirational story of the cardrona distillery<br />

by desiree reid-Whitaker<br />

‘Ever since I was really little, I have dreamed big dreams. It’s nice to imagine what<br />

could be, and leave it at that. But I’ve never been that sort of dreamer. I’ve always<br />

wanted to take one of my dreams, find just the right one-and turn it into something<br />

real.’ The Spirit of Cardrona is the story of how former dairy-farmer Desiree<br />

Reid-Whitaker and her husband Ash took a risk to realise a dream of setting up<br />

a world-class distillery. Their quest to produce a single-malt whisky that would<br />

compete with the best whiskies in the world is classic story of Kiwi persistence,<br />

sacrifice and self-made success. It’s also a modern-day tale of living off the land in<br />

the high-country. The Spirit of Cardrona is an inspirational business story that will<br />

appeal to anyone who loves a bold, brave and brilliant entrepreneur.<br />

Last Shot<br />

by Jock Zonfrillo<br />

A coming-of-age memoir of addiction, ambition and redemption in the highstakes<br />

world of Michelin star kitchens. From reckless drug addict to one of<br />

Australia’s top chefs and television stars: MasterChef judge Jock Zonfrillo’s<br />

powerful life story will shock and inspire. Jock’s life spiralled out of control<br />

when he tried heroin for the first time as a teenager while growing up in 1980s<br />

Glasgow. For years he balanced a career as a rising star amongst legendary<br />

chefs with a crippling drug addiction that took him down many dark paths. On<br />

New Year’s Eve 1999, Jock shot up his last shot of heroin before boarding a<br />

plane to Sydney, where he would find passion and new meaning in life in the<br />

most unexpected places. There would be more struggles ahead, including two<br />

failed marriages, the closure of his prized restaurant during COVID-19, his time<br />

on-country, and some very public battles. This is his unforgettable story.<br />

Clare Reilly: Eye of the Calm<br />

by clare reilly<br />

An exploration of New Zealand painter Clare Reilly’s life and work. The<br />

mixture of autobiographical writing and gorgeous paintings subtly shows<br />

how Reilly’s art and experiences are entwined. Her themes cover the issues<br />

of habitat destruction and renewal, depicting native New Zealand birds in<br />

the landscape as metaphors for joy. In an increasingly troubled and fast<br />

paced world, Reilly’s work offers the viewer a place to reflect on the healing<br />

qualities of nature and gather a sense of revitalisation. ‘Eye of the Calm’<br />

was an exhibition title used by Reilly as an expression of her life’s work.<br />

This expression is continued here with an insight into her beginnings as an<br />

artist and her subsequent career. Reilly has a strong connection to coastal<br />

New Zealand and a great love of the country’s wildlife. A beautiful, meditative<br />

exploration of a life and a life’s work.<br />

Former Port Hills list MP new<br />

Cholmondeley centre patron<br />

FORMER NATIONAL list MP<br />

for Port Hills Nuk Korako has<br />

been appointed the new patron<br />

of Cholmondeley Children’s<br />

Centre.<br />

The centre<br />

provides respite<br />

care for children<br />

aged three to 12,<br />

as well as support<br />

for families in<br />

the community<br />

Nuk<br />

Korako<br />

through its<br />

outreach<br />

programme.<br />

Korako spent time in<br />

Cholmondeley himself as a child<br />

after the death of a parent. In<br />

more recent years, he has been a<br />

board member.<br />

“As a Cholmondeley alumni, I<br />

see the opportunity to contribute<br />

to the iconic organisation that<br />

helped my family all those years<br />

ago,” said Korako.<br />

He said during his time on the<br />

board he has seen children being<br />

welcomed to Cholmondeley for<br />

different reasons than his own all<br />

those years ago.<br />

“Today we see very different<br />

circumstances due to the social<br />

disorders that plague our society,<br />

through drug and alcohol abuse<br />

leading to whānau violence and<br />

solo parenting, leaving deep scars<br />

on our children,” said Korako.<br />

Korako recently biked 720km<br />

from Rāpaki to Bluff to fund<br />

raise for Renee Veal who needs a<br />

jaw reconstruction surgery.<br />

His trip contributed $35,000<br />

towards the $90,000 needed.<br />

HELPING HAND: St Vincent de Paul Society volunteers hand out food<br />

Society providing for<br />

the community<br />

GOOD WORK: A volunteer helping to move<br />

some food packages.<br />

ST VINCENT de Paul<br />

Society volunteers are<br />

delivering food packages<br />

and offering practical<br />

help to the Lyttelton and<br />

Sumner communities.<br />

The volunteers work to<br />

provide person to person<br />

practical and effective help<br />

to those in need, including<br />

assistance with clothing,<br />

furniture, home wares,<br />

uniforms, stationary and<br />

help with other household<br />

and education expenses.<br />

The volunteers understand<br />

Christmas can be a<br />

stressful time for families<br />

and want to support them<br />

through delivering services<br />

directly to people’s homes<br />

for those who can’t access<br />

transport.<br />

Volunteers deliver food<br />

parcels and presents to<br />

about 30 families a year.<br />

The most vulnerable of<br />

the society’s clients experience<br />

domestic violence,<br />

physical and mental health<br />

issues and have limited<br />

resources to provide for<br />

themselves and their<br />

children.<br />

The society understands<br />

debt and poor accommodation<br />

standards are a major<br />

issue for some families<br />

with costs, such as winter<br />

power bills, making things<br />

difficult to keep warm and<br />

dry.<br />

A free budget advice service<br />

has been established<br />

in recent months for clients<br />

who are in debt or struggling<br />

to pay their weekly<br />

bills.<br />

While the society has<br />

access to weekly supplies<br />

from the Aotearoa Food<br />

Bank, such as expired or<br />

nearly expired grocery<br />

items, they rely on public<br />

donations to support families<br />

in need.<br />

There is also an advocacy<br />

service available, which is<br />

helping those in need to<br />

navigate bureaucracy to<br />

ensure they are receiving<br />

appropriate welfare entitlements<br />

and support from<br />

other agencies.<br />

The Sumner SuperValue<br />

also supports the society<br />

with donations of food<br />

items throughout the<br />

year. The supermarket<br />

also donates appropriately<br />

bright red bags for<br />

Christmas food parcels.<br />

INTRODUCING Sammy the sea lion,<br />

looking particularly photogenic in this<br />

picture from April 1956, when he graced<br />

Lyttelton harbour with his presence.<br />

The New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos<br />

hookeri) is also known as Hooker’s sea<br />

lion, and as whakahao or rāpoka by<br />

Māori.<br />

Males can reach impressive sizes and<br />

weights of up to 3.5 metres long and 450<br />

kilograms, with females about half that<br />

size.<br />

Sea lions eat fish, squid, crustaceans,<br />

birds and even other marine mammals<br />

such as fur seals, but in turn are hunted by<br />

the great white shark and sometimes sport<br />

significant scarring if they have escaped<br />

encounters.<br />

From the 13th to the 19th centuries,<br />

subsistence hunting by Māori and commercial<br />

hunting by Pakeha decimated<br />

sea lion numbers around New Zealand’s<br />

coastline, until legal prohibition on hunting<br />

them was introduced in 1893.<br />

Nowadays, their numbers are affected<br />

by being caught as bycatch in the squid<br />

industry, by bacterial diseases and by<br />

declining access to preferred food<br />

sources, resulting in malnutrition and<br />

starvation.<br />

Ninety-nine per cent of the current<br />

population breed on the sub-Antarctic,<br />

the Auckland and the Campbell Islands,<br />

although since the 1990s small numbers<br />

have again been breeding on the Otago<br />

Peninsula, Stewart Island and the Catlins.<br />

NEWS 11<br />

Treasures from the past:<br />

Sammy the sea lion<br />

In 2008, the population was estimated<br />

at approximately 9000. Under the Department<br />

of Conservation’s New Zealand<br />

Threat Classification System, they are<br />

defined as nationally vulnerable. They<br />

also have the dubious record of being<br />

the most endangered sea lion species<br />

globally. (https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/<br />

native-animals/marine-mammals/seals/<br />

new-zealand-sea-lion/)<br />

So how did Sammy end up in port and<br />

what became of him? Perhaps there are<br />

Pancreatic cancer<br />

treatment survey<br />

Have you been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer?<br />

By completing this ten-minute, anonymous survey about a particular medication<br />

treatment used in pancreatic cancer, you may be able to help us identify better access<br />

to treatments for all New Zealanders with pancreatic cancer.<br />

We want to use this survey to identify who has been offered Pancreatic Enzyme<br />

Replacement Therapy (PERT). The pancreas is important in digestion and PERT is a<br />

treatment that can help people with pancreatic cancer digest their kai.<br />

We have little information in Aotearoa New Zealand about who is being offered this<br />

medicine and how it is being taken. Our goal is to identify who does and does not<br />

have access to this treatment and how we might improve access to those who need it.<br />

This national survey is being conducted by investigators at the University of Otago.<br />

The survey has been approved by a Human Research Ethics Committee.<br />

Ingredients<br />

3 tsp active dry yeast<br />

1 ½ cups hot (not boiling)<br />

water<br />

4 cups high grade flour<br />

1 ½ tsp Himalayan salt<br />

Olive oil (for drizzling)<br />

Rock salt (for sprinkling)<br />

Selection of spring<br />

vegetables, such as asparagus,<br />

spring onions and colourful<br />

baby carrots.<br />

Directions<br />

Place yeast, hot water, flour,<br />

Himalayan salt in a stand<br />

up mixer with the K attachment.<br />

Beat slowly to start then<br />

increase the speed and beat<br />

another 2-3min until it stops<br />

being sticky and starts to come<br />

together. It will be a wetter mix<br />

than traditional bread dough.<br />

Scrape the dough into a<br />

oven proof round or oval dish<br />

drizzled with a lot of olive oil<br />

then decoratively place veggies<br />

on top.<br />

Think about a bouquet of<br />

flowers while you are doing it.<br />

Drizzle with more olive oil and<br />

set aside for an hour to prove.<br />

Once it has doubled in size<br />

(at least), drizzle with more oil,<br />

sprinkle with salt and pop into<br />

a pre-heated 190 deg C oven for<br />

around 30min until browned<br />

on top but the veggies still hold<br />

their colour.<br />

Directions<br />

Roll your pastry into a large<br />

circle and line your tart tin and<br />

prick a few times with a fork.<br />

Add all the filling ingredients,<br />

including the oil from the<br />

sun-dried tomatoes, into the<br />

Fortuner provides all the answers<br />

I’M OFTEN asked what is the<br />

best sport utility vehicle? The<br />

choice in today’s market is vast.<br />

I usually answer with three<br />

questions, what size? How many<br />

seats? And what is it going to be<br />

used for?<br />

Depending on the answer to<br />

the last question, I reply by saying<br />

there are two fundamental<br />

differences in construction that<br />

must be taken into account, and<br />

they are quite technical.<br />

However, put simply, there is<br />

the option between ladder frame<br />

and monocoque construction.<br />

The rigid ladder-like frame<br />

vehicle carries the engine and<br />

drivetrain, a separate body construction<br />

is mounted on it. The<br />

monocoque frame, on the other<br />

hand, has a unitised frame and<br />

body combined.<br />

Most of today’s SUVs are<br />

monocoque, but if you want a<br />

serious four-wheel-drive vehicle<br />

that will take you to the backblocks<br />

and beyond then a ladder<br />

frame vehicle is best, although<br />

it’s not quite so user-friendly<br />

in close confine environments.<br />

You see, almost all of the ladder<br />

frame SUVs in today’s market<br />

are based on a light truck/utility<br />

chassis; take Toyota’s Fortuner,<br />

for example, it sits on the Hilux<br />

platform.<br />

Along with the chassis underneath<br />

that will take you<br />

places, ladder frame models<br />

have advanced four-wheel-drive<br />

systems, they require input from<br />

the driver through complex<br />

dial-in modes, depending on<br />

what is required for the journey<br />

ahead, taking into account all<br />

have a low ratio gearing mechanism<br />

that allows for crawl-speed<br />

motion over rough ground.<br />

Toyota’s Fortuner was late in<br />

the SUV market here, it followed<br />

Mitsubishi’s Challenger/<br />

Pajero Sport, Isuzu’s MU series,<br />

Ford’s Everest, Holden’s recently<br />

departed Colorado 7/Trailblazer<br />

and Nissan’s first and second<br />

generation Pathfinder.<br />

Nevertheless, the Fortuner<br />

has gained good ground in the<br />

serious SUV market in the five<br />

years it has been here, and it has<br />

just had a mild facelift.<br />

It also gets the uprated powerplant<br />

that arrived in the heavily-facelifted<br />

Hilux a year ago.<br />

The big 2.8-litre turbocharged<br />

diesel is now rated at 150kW and<br />

500Nm, up 20kW and 50Nm.<br />

Thanks to a new cylinder block,<br />

pistons and turbo design modifications,<br />

emissions have been<br />

reduced and fuel economy is<br />

also better, the Fortuner is now<br />

rated with a 7.6-litre per 100km<br />

combined cycle average, down<br />

from 8.6l/100km.<br />

During my testing time the<br />

dash display readout was constantly<br />

listing around 9/100km,<br />

dropping to 8l/100km on a rural<br />

run with 7l/100km showing<br />

instantaneously at 100km, the<br />

engine ticking over very slowly<br />

at 1600rpm.<br />

ROBUST:<br />

The<br />

Toyota<br />

Fortuner<br />

sits high<br />

off the<br />

ground<br />

for crosscountry<br />

travel.<br />

TOYOTA FORTUNER: Four-wheel-drive to take seven occupants off-the-beaten-track.<br />

If I’m not being deceived, the<br />

Fortuner’s power plant seems<br />

a lot quieter and more refined<br />

than ever before, it purrs along<br />

with a gentle throb you can only<br />

hear if you listen intently. It is<br />

quiet inside the cabin and even<br />

under load the driveline sounds<br />

unflustered.<br />

In terms of performance the<br />

Fortuner will easily keep pace<br />

with today’s busy traffic, it’s<br />

strong off the line with a 9sec<br />

run to 100km/h, and if you are<br />

on the highway it will complete a<br />

highway overtake in 6.8sec (80-<br />

120km/h).<br />

On the subject of figures, the<br />

Fortuner uses its ladder chassis<br />

to much benefit. It has a 3100kg<br />

braked trailer tow rating that has<br />

just been lifted from 2800kg.<br />

That’s why its design is so useful,<br />

the Fortuner is a tough goanywhere<br />

vehicle that will take<br />

you, your family and belongings<br />

to places a traditional SUV<br />

would struggle. There is huge<br />

ground clearance (279mm), and<br />

with chunky tyres grip in the<br />

loose is well maintained.<br />

I took the evaluation vehicle<br />

through the tracks that lead<br />

across the Hororata River; it<br />

wasn’t a challenge, but the river<br />

was flowing freely after a high<br />

country drenching. The base of<br />

the river is very stony and quite<br />

uneven, but the Fortuner soaked<br />

up the rough stuff without battering<br />

the occupants.<br />

That’s no easy feat to get right,<br />

• Price – Toyota Fortuner<br />

Limited, $61,290<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4795mm; width, 1855mm;<br />

height, 1835mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

2755cc, 150kW, 500Nm,<br />

six-speed automatic<br />

• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />

9sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />

by sheer nature of its load-bearing<br />

live rear axle the Fortuner<br />

has a relatively comfortable ride,<br />

there’s a bit of a jiggle over uneven<br />

tar seal surfaces, but it’s on a<br />

par with the other models I mentioned<br />

in my introduction and a<br />

by-product of what Hilux hands<br />

down. One point of difference,<br />

though, is that the Fortuner gets<br />

coil springs at the rear, the Hilux<br />

still has a leaf spring set-up. The<br />

coils do provide more compliance<br />

for comfort.<br />

Given its height, accessing the<br />

Fortuner requires a bit of a step<br />

up, and you do need to bend<br />

a bit to get into the rear row<br />

of seats. Nevertheless, there’s a<br />

generous amount of room back<br />

there, although if long journeys<br />

are on the cards, place the<br />

youngest or smallest back there.<br />

Once seated, the occupants<br />

are well cocooned and sheltered<br />

from the rugged mechanicals<br />

underneath, ride comfort is<br />

high, and on my long inland<br />

evaluation there was never a<br />

point where I felt taxed or tired.<br />

For <strong>2021</strong> the Fortuner adds<br />

a larger display panel (8in),<br />

Apple CarPlay and Android<br />

Auto. Those items on top of<br />

what would ordinarily be<br />

deemed a generous amount of<br />

fitment. Well, it needs to be well<br />

equipped, the Fortuner comes<br />

in at $57,790 for the GXL, the<br />

evaluation car was a Limited<br />

model that adds $3500. That<br />

makes quite a big outlay, but it<br />

does sit well with the prices of its<br />

competition.<br />

All that aside, you are buying<br />

into the quintessential SUV, one<br />

that will last forever and go anywhere.<br />

At 4.8m that does mean<br />

you have to be picky finding<br />

a central city car park, but the<br />

benefits come when you make a<br />

weekend excursion to the high<br />

country lakes.<br />

If that’s not what you need,<br />

then Toyota’s Highlander could<br />

be the alternative, it doesn’t get<br />

the high-tech four-wheel-drive<br />

system but it does have even<br />

more finesse and seven-seat<br />

capability, its underpinnings are<br />

state-of-the-art and occupant<br />

comfort is high-level.<br />

For those whose questions<br />

revolve around what is best in<br />

this market, do your homework<br />

and work out what is best for<br />

all situations. If you do chose<br />

a Fortuner, its versatility won’t<br />

leave you disappointed.<br />

Public Notice<br />

Notice for consultation on a proposed Enrolment Scheme<br />

for Governors <strong>Bay</strong> School<br />

The Ministry of Education has identified that Governors <strong>Bay</strong> School is likely to be<br />

overcrowded in the future and has given the school board notice of this.<br />

After engagement with the Board, we have developed a proposed enrolment scheme for<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> School under the Education and Training Act 2020.<br />

As part of this process, we are consulting with the school’s community and with people<br />

living in the area for which the school is a reasonably convenient school.<br />

Under this scheme, students will be able to enrol if they live within the proposed home<br />

zone. The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the provisions of the<br />

Education and Training Act 2020.<br />

#LIST WITH THE LOCALS<br />

AUCTION | 11AM, 20 NOVEMBER <strong>2021</strong><br />

ONSITE (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR)<br />

Nestled on the lower slopes of Mt Pleasant this architectural design<br />

and build is a one-of-a-kind find. Designed by Bespoke Architecture<br />

& built by John Ross Architectural Builders they have thoughtfully<br />

combined high-end sophistication alongside family practicality, the<br />

exterior showcases artisanal finishes in a warm brown with a grey<br />

undertone, the coastal palette reflective of the pacific ocean which<br />

can be seen from the windows of the upper level.<br />

Set over two levels, the luxurious interiors of the upper floor are<br />

designed to maximise natural light. Grand expanses of glass are<br />

pronounced throughout, and an open-plan living & dining room<br />

delivers great family flexibility and large-scale entertaining potential.<br />

Outside, generous flat lawns confirm immediate alfresco enjoyment<br />

for the whole family. Shelter from the easterly wind & all-day sun<br />

makes this a sought-after indoor-outdoor flow.<br />
