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 />
If you have any questions or issues with the survey<br />

FOOD<br />
Bouquet focaccia<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 />
Eat with all the yummy things<br />

walnut sauce).<br />

Ingredients<br />
Pastry of your choice<br />
•Filling<br />
2x tins chickpeas<br />
1x 270g jar sun-dried<br />
tomatoes in oil<br />
3 Tbsp tahini<br />
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary<br />
2 Tbsp capers (optional)<br />
Zest and juice of 1 lemon<br />
½ tsp salt<br />
•Topping<br />
1 eggplant<br />
1 carrot<br />
1 zuchinni<br />
1 x purple or orange kumara<br />
Fresh herbs and flowers to<br />
garnish<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 />
food processor, and blend until<br />
smooth.<br />
Taste for seasoning and pour<br />
into your pastry-lined tart tin.<br />
With a vegetable peeler or<br />

your veggies. Working from the<br />
inside out, place vegetable slices<br />
into the filling tightly together in<br />
a circular pattern until you reach<br />
the edge.<br />
Brush with olive oil and bake<br />
for 30min or until pastry is<br />
golden brown and the vegetables<br />
are cooked through but not<br />
browned (it’s still nice if they are a<br />
little crunchy/raw).<br />

flowers and eat in the sunshine<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 />

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 />
