A SHEEP called Burt
has shot to TikTok
fame, with one of
the two-year-old
romney’s latest
videos amassing over
seven million views.
Burt lives on a

$150,000
funding
boost
for new
museum
TE ŪAKA the Lyttelton Museum
has had a $150,000 boost to its
$9.9 million rebuild plans.
The money was donated by
the Lyttelton Port Company
and announced at the museum’s
Christmas party by the out-going
chief executive Roger Gray,
The total cost for the new
museum includes the cost of the
build construction, museum
fit-out, display design and installation,
professional fees, and one
year of operating costs.
It is anticipated that it will
take about four years to raise
this sum, but construction could
commence sooner, once 50 per
cent of the cost of the build has
been raised.
Lyttelton Historical Museum
Society president Peter Rough
said the museum is “extremely
grateful” for the contribution
that will go towards replacing the
museum that was destroyed in
the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.

GEORGE LOCKYER has a
thing about garages, so much
so he has written a great book
about them.
On pages 12 and 13 today we
look at Kiwi Garages – Inside
New Zealanders’ happy places.
George, who lives in
Governors Bay, travelled
the length and breadth of
New Zealand, often on his
Kawasaki, to document some
of the country’s most eclectic
garages, where cars rarely
feature.
The avid motorcyclist relied
on friends, mates of a mate
and internet search engines
to source material for 28
chapters, including images.

On another note, good to see
the Lyttelton Port Company

museum will be a muchneeded
asset to the port.

The British goes up for sale
AS IS WHERE IS: The British Hotel has gone on the market, pictured in 2021 and before it was rebuilt in the 1940s.
• By Kristie Boland
THE ICONIC British Hotel in
Lyttelton is on the market.
The hotel overlooking the port
at 10 Oxford St is an ‘as is where
is sale’.
Ray White real estate agent
Mike Shine said there has been
strong interest in the building
both here and abroad. It will be
a deadline sale if not sold prior.
Shine said it was very difficult
to put a price on the iconic
building.
Currently, the hotel is home to
four local businesses – Arcana
Tattoo parlour, the Commoners
Bar, the Lost Property junk
shop, and Big Sam’s Tools.
The British was badly
damaged during the
earthquakes and is slowly being
restored.
Current owners Rebecca
Lovell-Smith and her partner
Christian Carruthers bought the
building post-quakes and applied
for a city council heritage
grant to assist with the cost of
building a new roof and parapet.
They could not be contacted
before Bay Harbour News
deadline about the sale but said
previously they had always loved
the building.
“We didn’t want it to
be demolished after the
earthquakes,” she said.
“We knew how important it
was to Lyttelton; it holds a fond
place in many people’s hearts.”
Rebuilt in the 1940s, the
British has a rich history with a
colourful reputation.
It was frequented by sailors
from all over the world, who saw
it as home whenever their ships
arrived in port.

‘Video just went crazy’
• From page 1
Abraham said Burt was a very
special sheep whom she had
raised since he was a lamb.
“My partner Tom works on the
farm we live on and he brought
him [Burt] to me one day because
he had lost his mum and
all the other lambs had already
left the farm and there was
this little newborn just floating
around with no home to go to,”
Abraham said.
When Burt started doing funny,
quirky things, such as acting
like a dog, she started filming
him. Burt’s TikTok profile now
includes videos of him frolicking
through the house, sleeping on
the couch in front of the fire and
getting into the neighbour’s rose
garden.
“My sister told me I should
start him his own TikTok . . . I
did and it went a bit crazy.”
The secret to Burt’s success
was partly down to the fact that
people were not used to seeing
sheep hanging around the house,
but his personality was also a
major factor, Abraham said.
“Burt’s also quite a character, I
live on a farm with a lot of sheep,
but there’s something different
about Burt.”
During the recent drought
in the area, Burt’s social media
presence declined because he
had to be shifted to a paddock
WOOLLY FAME: Burt the sheep has seven million followers
on TikTok.

further away to ensure he could
get enough food, she said.
“Now that it has started raining
again, we’ve brought Burt
closer to the house again . . . so
I just started re engaging with
his, with his followers again, and
his most recent video just went
crazy.”
She hoped some of his future
work on social media could help
promote the wool industry.
“Apart from that it’s just about
making people laugh, I love
sharing Burt with the world, and
I’m glad people enjoy him and
love him as much as I do.”

Collection reflects
port’s activities
• From page 1
“The Lyttelton Port Company’s
contribution will be a significant
boost towards realising a new
purpose-built museum to
safeguard and share precious
taonga of Whakaraupō/Lyttelton
Harbour and tell stories, such
as those about epic voyages of
exploration to Antarctica,” Rough
said.
For many years the old museum
was a valued part of the
Lyttelton community, regularly
hosting schools and other groups
and providing much interest and
enjoyment to locals and
visitors. Lyttelton is integral to
Canterbury and the stories of
Lyttelton are entwined with
those of its port. The museum’s
collection reflects activities that
occurred in the port, especially
from times when it was a base for
famous voyages of exploration to
Antarctica.
Said Gray: “Lyttelton Port
Company is thrilled to contribute
to such a worthy and historic
project, in no small part because
so much of the area’s history is
shared. We hope LPC’s show of
support for the project will be the
foundation for the fundraising
effort and encourage many more
contributions.”
• Treasures from the past, page

A concept design for the new Lyttelton Museum. The bold
architecture is said to be an opportunity to create an iconic
image, which will attract both locals and visitors alike.

WE ARE ON THE
MOVE AGAIN...
MAX THE cat who trekked the
Port Hills from Hoon Hay to
Lyttelton is at the tail end of his
nine lives.
Mention Max to any resident
on Somes Rd in Lyttelton and
they will likely have a story to
tell.
Max plods up the street daily
in search of a meal and a spot
to rest his tired limbs. In the
evening, Max makes his way to
Alister Cresswell’s for dinner
and usually stays the night.
“He has a meal here then goes
to the other neighbours, if he’s
not happy with that food, he
goes down to Karen’s and eats
there,” said Cresswell.
It’s no surprise Max is weighing
in at over 10kg.
But Max hasn’t always been a
fat cat.
After the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, Max’s home in
Lyttelton was demolished. He
was left with a neighbour while
his owners looked for a new
home.
Max moved into his owner’s
new home in Hoon Hay but
the port-loving feline had other
ideas. A Lyttelton cat through
and through, he made his way
back.
It took Max about three weeks
to trek home. The journey took
a toll.
TO A NEW LOCATION IN
FERRYMEAD, DUE TO
EARTHQUAKE REPAIRS
Cresswell was shocked to see
Max had come back.
“I was quite upset when I saw
him because he was in such bad
condition, his paws were cut and
broken and he was starving . . .
he had been living very rough.”
But Max bounced back and
was soon up to his old tricks.
That is, until he fought with a
possum and had his eye ripped
from the socket.
Max’s visit to the vet cost
$1000. Word spread and the

to pay Max’s bill. Again, he
healed well.
Cresswell said Max later had
another incident and came
home “caked in mud and pond
weed . . . not in a good way.”
“We put him by the fire over
night expecting him to be dead
in the morning. Then he was up
at the fridge the next morning
waiting for his breakfast, 100 per
cent cured.”
Cresswell remembers after
the earthquakes, when buildings
had been demolished, rats scurried
from Lyttelton up the Port
Hills.
Max took to hunting.
“He used to catch a rat and put
it at the bottom of the clothesline
. . . I lost count at about 117,”
Cresswell said.
Cresswell wasn’t the only one
on the street to receive Max’s
offerings.
Betty and David Purdue would
come outside to find Max in
their backyard.
“For years he’s come to visit

CONTENTED: Tabby Max walked back to Lyttelton after being moved to Hoon Hay. He now ambles from home to home
searching for meals and eating treats.
Max sitting very proudly with an
offering,” said Betty.
“He’s such hoot, he really is. A
very independent cat.”
Max is old and frail now and
his good years of chasing rats,
dogs and possums are coming to
an end.
“He’s just about at the end
of his tether. But he still walks
around thinking he’s in charge
. . . it’s just amazing how the
community got behind him and
looked after him, put up with his
antics,” said Cresswell.

Inside the beloved ‘man’ cave: A spark plug
• By Chris Barclay
GEORGE LOCKYER seems
surprised to be asked to leave the
kitchen and wander down the
brick pathway to his garage, which
the part-time author admits, is
nothing to write home about.
And the Londoner is wellplaced
to downplay the appeal
of the building at the foot of his
Governors Bay property, a standard
structure that houses the
usual conglomeration of tools,
gym equipment and machinery,
including two motorbikes.
After all, the 62-year-old has
travelled the length and breadth
of New Zealand, often on his
Kawasaki, to document some
of the country’s most eclectic
garages for his fifth book: Kiwi
Garages - Inside New Zealanders’
happy places.
A brickie and stonemason by
trade, Lockyer grew up in a twoup
two-down Borough of Hounslow
council estate in Isleworth,
so garaging was a foreign concept
until he moved to Newtown in
Sydney’s inner west in 1988. It
still took another dozen years
until he had one at his disposal.
Back home, garages were reserved
for the privileged – those
up the Twickenham Rd in leafy,
well-heeled Richmond.
“You walk from the council estate
in Isleworth into Richmond

own garage after travelling throughout the country to
document others’.

and suddenly you’re in a different
world. I didn’t know anyone
who had a garage.”
He certainly does now.
About a year ago Lockyer, who
moved to New Zealand with his
Invercargill-born wife Karen in
2003, was encouraged by publisher
Bateman Books to access
garages not designed for car storage
– unless we’re talking about
Gavin Bain’s Bugatti collection
on Banks Peninsula.
The avid motorcyclist relied
on friends, mates of a mate and
internet search engines to source
material for 28 chapters, including
images.
“I took all the photographs
apart from two, the dominatrix
sent them to me. She wasn’t in
her full regalia when I interviewed
her,” Lockyer explained.
‘Red Fox’ was an anomaly
among the interviewees; she was
the only one who requested her
details stay under wraps, other
than to reveal the “unassuming”
garage/dungeon is at the top of
the South Island.

collector, a dominatrix and an electric chair
There is also a lack of specifics
about how Lockyer found
the former aquarium worker,
walking track guide and
veterinary nurse.
“It was a relation-of-a-relation,
of a friend-of-a-friend, she made
all these phone calls and put me
in contact with her,” Lockyer
said cryptically.
“I texted her, she sent me her
email address and she was all
for it.”
Each chapter was vetted by
the subject, mainly for security
reasons as the collections are
not just valuable from a personal
perspective.
“There’s a very expensive bottle
collection, you wouldn’t believe
some of them are so expensive,
some of them are 20 grand
each. I said to the guy (who was
reticent about his location being
publicised) ‘How about I just put
you live in rural Canterbury?’ I
always ask about names as well,”
Lockyer said.
One name stood out for
Lockyer: Raoul Lealand, the
‘mad’ inventor from Taupo.
“He was just fascinating, he’s
a genius really, the stuff he made
in his garage . . . everything he
made was from junk, just rubbish,
he made three steampunk
motorcycles and they all go. It
was unbelievable, the talent of
that guy.
“Right at the end he showed
me his electric chair. He put
the crown on, started pedalling
and he said it puts 30,000 volts
through you (at a low amperage).
He said school-kids love to have
a go.”
A fellow motorcyclist helped
link Lockyer up with Lealand.
Google was another useful ally.
“I found vintage car clubs, doll
clubs, sculptors, there’s pages for
artists. There’s always a president
of this or that so I email them,”
he said.
While that tactic worked to
track down David Smith’s radio
room in Havelock North, the
model railways community
weren’t exactly on the same
wavelength.
“The train collectors were very
cagey. I did speak to a few clubs,
they said ‘We’ll put it out on our
newsletter but don’t expect any
response because our guys are
very secretive’. They were right.”
The surprises were not limited
to Red Fox’s paraphernalia or the
shock factor to Lealand’s minimally
powered contraption.
Take Dennis Gooch’s garage in
Linwood, home to around 2500
spark plugs, the oldest is a rare
Boiron plug from 1899.
“It was amazing because a)
why? and b) you had no idea
about the complexity of spark
plugs, how many there are. Every
one had a story. He’d pick one
up and say ‘This is from the first
Mercedes Benz’,” Lockyer said.
He was mindful of including
women in the collection, though
it was a challenge, prompting a
disclaimer in his introduction.
“I have tried to include as
many women as possible in this
project, but the fact is garages
seem to be, for the most part, the
domain of a male,” he wrote.
Other than ‘Red Fox’, Nelson
sculptor Fiona Sutherland and
potter Many Garguilo provide
the female perspective.
There was another touchy subject
for Lockyer to explore: What
happens to these collections
when the owners pass on?
“I like to think I establish a
bit of a rapport after an hour
of talking. At the end you’d say
‘What happens when you

in his collection, while inventor Raoul Leyland has built an

pop your clogs?’
“I think most of them have
sons who want to carry it on. It’s
50:50 probably. Half of them,
their sons and daughters will
inherit it and they’re keen to
maintain it, the other half are
just going to flog it.
“With some of them, you just
get that vibe that you’re a bit too
personal by asking that question.”

COMMUNITY volunteers
have rallied to survey the
abundance and size of
shellfish in the estuary.
Groups of volunteers
surveyed 30 sites on the
mudflats along with
a boat survey of eight
sites in the estuary

The Estuary Trust,
together with mana
whenua, Environment
Canterbury, city council,
Canterbury University, and the
Ministry for Primary Industries
are conducting an extensive scientific
survey and evaluation of
tuaki/cockles across the whole
estuary.
“We need to ensure that
the numbers of tuaki/cockles
remain stable (or improve) to
restore cultural values
and ensure our birds have
ample food to eat,” said
Estuary Trust chairman,
Kit Doudney.
The estuary, Te Ihutai,
has in the past held high
cultural values for mana
whenua. These qualities
were lost during an
extended period of ecological
decline since the establishment
of the city in the 1850s
and confiscation of a Māori
reserve for the oxidation ponds
in the 1950s.

The opening of Te Ra Community Park

so they formed the community group ‘Friends

council and turned it into a community park.
They planted native trees and vegetables, and
added seats and picnic tables built by Orton

Personal Pathways for Success
This year our Linwood College at Ōtakōro students have
received an unprecedented total of $83,000 in scholarship
funding from the University of Otago.
Jasmine Keating received the Māori Entrance
Scholarship of $13,000 over two years,
Phoenix Evans received the Māori Entrance
Scholarship of $13,000 over two years, Ranalia
Savelio received the Pacific Peoples’ Entrance
Scholarship of $13,000 over two years and
Becky Bennett received the Otago Pathway
Scholarship with a value of $5,000.
Linwood College at Ōtākaro has cultivated extremely
beneficial relationships for our students with our
local and other universities. This year our Careers
Department has been working alongside Otago’s
Liaison Officer, Prajesh Chhanabhai, resulting in an
unprecedented amount of scholarships being offered
to our graduating seniors. We have seen a wonderful
number of students offered a total of $83,000 towards
their study at the university. The majority of these
students are intending to study Health Sciences at
Otago, while Jasmine Keating will be focusing on
Education with a major in Māori. This is an exciting
result for our Careers Department in connecting and
advocating for our ākonga in their chosen fields.
Discovering, establishing, and staying the course
of a student’s pathway has always been an integral
focus of our school. It is fitting that the name of our
new rebuilt school, conceptualized and gifted to us
by Ngāi Tūāhuriri, will be Te Aratai College, meaning
Pathway to the Sea. We often use the allegory of
the braided river to inform our students of creating
their educational purpose, finding their own distinct
tributary through all that the riverbed can teach us.
Within our curriculum there is much we do to engender
our ākonga with their chosen futures. Both our junior
and senior school use Career Central to make
their subject choices. Career Central is software
developed here in Aotearoa that utilizes career
development theory based on input from schools,
businesses and institutions all over the country. It
manages a student’s subject choices, maps them
throughout their schooling, and offers classes that
align to their chosen career pathways. Students
make these choices in our Ako classes, LCŌ’s
version of a vertical form class. These classes have
students of every year level, enabling conversations
about subjects and experiences across the school,
junior to senior.
Paul Reyes, Kaye Maravilla, Rose Lim and Daniel
Nieuwenhuize all individually received a 150th
Entrance Scholarship of $13,000 over two years.
Students attending the Rotary National Science
and Technology Forum.
Student pathways are also discovered and explored
through our extensive EOTC (Education outside
the classroom) programmes. These knees-deep,
hands-on experiences send students beyond the
school gates. Among these are our Level 3 Business
students going to Ara to pitch ideas in a dragon’s
den-style competition and compete in the Lion
Foundation Youth Enterprise awards. Our Level 2
Tourism classes travel to Queenstown and Hamner
to visit tourism operators and locations. We send
our Year 12 Science students to the Rotary National
Science and Technology Forum for high achieving
Year 12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics) students who are interested
in exploring where these subjects can take them
through to university and beyond. We have a tour
to the University of Otago where students meet
lecturers, deans and OU students to discuss courses
and varsity life.
It is in these excursions that our students and
faculty have created the connections and ongoing
relationships that have helped garner such an
impressive scholarship result for our seniors moving
into tertiary education. We watch, with eager eyes,
to see what possibilities and potential their pathways
may realize.

Traffic light system hits rock concert
• By Chris Barclay
David
Parlane
THE ‘TRAFFIC light’ system
has put a stop to veteran
Australian rockers Jimmy Barnes
and the Choirboys sharing the
limelight at next year’s Selwyn
Sounds music festival, frustrating
promoter David Parlane.
Organisers
have reluctantly
rearranged the
line-up for the
March 5 event at
Lincoln Domain
after the Government’s
Covid-19
restrictions
effectively
prevented Australian nationals to
enter the country before April 30.
“It’s the bane of the promoter,”
Parlane said of the Government’s
restrictions to combat the pandemic.
“I understand we’re in a
pandemic and we all have to live
with it. It’s just frustrating. The
logic (of the traffic light system)
doesn’t compute.
“How do we ever get to green?
We should be in green. Canterbury’s
at 97 per cent first dose
(vaccination), 92 per cent second
dose.
“There’s no community
transmission, there’s not people
in hospital. Does that not tell
you that we’re supposed to be in
green?”
KIWI HITS: Home-grown musicians like Automatic 80s will again dominate the line-up for the sixth edition of the Selwyn

Los Angeles-based Kiwi singer
songwriter Gin Wigmore is the
key addition to the programme,
with her arrival home for a tour
in March perfectly timed as she
already planned to perform in
Hawke’s Bay, Leigh, Raglan,
Gisborne and Nelson.
Blam Blam Blam, renowned
for their 1980s hit There is no

and Christchurch covers band

schedule.

Stevens of Noiseworks and INXS
fame does meet the criteria as
a Kiwi, as do US-based Greg
Johnson and London-domiciled
songwriter and BBC Strictly
Come Dancing vocalist Reitta
Austin.
Stevens was meant to perform
at this year’s rescheduled event
in April but was unable to attend
due to Covid-19 measures.
Gravelly-toned Barnes, who
performed at the second edition
of the day-long festival in 2018,
told fans he was disappointed
not to showcase his classics for a
second time.
“I’m gutted the traffic light
system in NZ has meant it isn’t
feasible for my team and I to
head over – Selwyn Sounds is
such an epic event, but I will be
back,” he said.
Wigmore and Stevens will be
backed by other home-grown
music scene stalwarts Ardijah,
and Stellar*.
Johnson, who has 30 years of
material on his song list, was
looking forward to making his
Selwyn Sounds debut.
“The people of Canterbury
have been very kind to me over
the years and I can’t wait to play
for them at this great event,” he
said.
Parlane said more acts would
be announced early next year.

Photographers combine for exhibition
THREE Sumner photographers
are showcasing their work at The
Rock.
Meet the photographers:
Rose Joy has always
had a passion
for photography.
She likes New
Zealand’s wild
landscapes and
portraiture. After
a decade of photographing
New Zealand landscapes
Rose now focuses on photographing
people in the landscape. Her
quest is to express beauty and light
of both people and landscapes in
graphic style images.
Jon Turner has
been taking photos
since he was a
child. He has used
multiple types
cameras in his
time. The images
on display are what
has become most special to him. “I
hope that through them you can
appreciate the wonders of God’s
creation in this beautiful land,”
Turner said.
Jan Taylor is a science educator,
he has a background in research,
loves the outdoors and is a keen
photographer. Over many years
of experience behind the camera,
he shows a penchant for wildlife
or the capture of interesting landscapes.
More recently, he has taken
time to explore local scenery. “It
amazes me just how lucky we are
living in this part
of the world and I
do hope that some
of my photographs
communicate this
sentiment,’’ Taylor
said.
Their work
will be on show during December
and January at The Rock in Sumner.

The First Four Ships
CANTABRIANS are familiar
with observing Canterbury
Anniversary on Show Weekend
each year, coinciding with the
agricultural and pastoral show
which has been running since
1862.
However, that observance (the
second Friday after the first Tuesday
in November) has only been
a convention since the late 1950s.
Prior to that, Canterbury’s
anniversary was marked on
December 16, the date that the
first two of the fleet of four ships
carrying the Canterbury Association
settlers arrived at Lyttelton.
After a journey of approximately
three and a half months
from England, the Charlotte Jane
was the first ship to arrive on the
morning of December 16, 1850,
followed closely by the Randolph
that same afternoon. The Sir
George Seymour arrived the next
day and the Cressy on December
27.
These First Four Ships carried
approximately 773 settlers;
a carefully selected crosssection
of society including
colonists like James Fitzgerald
the first Superintendent of
the Canterbury Province, the
architect Benjamin Mountfort
and others. Alongside them
were 200 single men and
women including domestic
servants, carpenters, bricklayers,
blacksmiths and a sole butcher.
In 1950, Lyttelton’s centennial
celebrations were extensive;
including but not limited to a
special service blessed by the
Archbishop of Canterbury,
speedboat races, a commemorative
walk, a sumptuous banquet
and ball and the outfitting of a
coal hulk the Darra to represent
the Charlotte Jane which then
took part in a reenactment of the
pilgrim’s landing.
Ongoing celebrations took a
terrible turn in January 1951
during the Canterbury Centennial
Race from Wellington
to Lyttelton. A huge southerly
storm caused the demise of two
yachts the Husky and the Argo
and tragically, the loss of 10 crew.
George Brassell and a volunteer
crew on the trawler MV
Tawera saved six men off the
yacht Astral; Brassell was awarded
a Royal Humane Society gold
medal for his dramatic rescue
efforts.
For a number of years from the
1980s until 2010, an appropriate
series of flags to mark the arrival
of the Charlotte Jane were flown
from the flagpole at the Timeball
Station. Although the Timeball
Station was not built until 1876,
a flagstaff was positioned on the
site as early as 1850 to give news
of the arrival and movement of
ships.
https://www.heritage.org.nz/
places/places-to-visit/canterbury-region/lyttelton-timeball
At 8am a square red flag was
flown on the southern yardarm,
indicating that a sailing ship had
been sighted off the heads.
In 1850, this signal would have
caused a flurry of excitement in
the nascent port. At 10.30am that
red signal was rehoisted to the
main mast of the flagpole, along
with four flags representing the
Charlotte Jane’s identification
numbers.

Ioniq 5 EV a step into the future
THE FUTURE is here.
Hyundai has launched the
Ioniq 5 in New Zealand. If you
are thinking from the outset that
it is just another electric sport
utility vehicle then you have
better think again. It is a car that
is almost out of this world.
Everyone who talked about the
Ioniq 5 when it was in my care
talked of space age and futuristic
– and it is, it looks like something
out of Star Trek, it’s a car that I
dreamed of as a child, the way I
thought cars would look in the
21st–century.
It’s not just the way the
matte-painted, nature-inspired
exterior is styled either, the
interior is nothing like I’ve seen
before in what would be deemed
a mass produced car, the bold,
spacious design is highlighted in
the evaluation car’s case by light
grey leather.
What’s more, the Ioniq 5 is the
technology champion, it’s engineered
with practicality in mind,
it has range and it has speed, not
withstanding that it is still the
practical car we have come to
expect from the modern SUV.
How Hyundai has rolled all of
these aspects into one model to
satisfy those who want an electric
vehicle kind of amazes me, but it’s
here with all those tempting elements
that will lure many buyers.
The Ioniq 5 arrives in a complicated
array of models – six in
total. The entry-level car with
two-wheel-drive and a 58kWh
battery pack lists at $79,990. It is
the only model in the range that
qualifies for the Government’s
$8625 clean car discount. The
rest of the range carry a 72.6kWh
battery pack and arrive in two or
four-wheel-drive form. The test
car was the range-topping 4WD
Limited at $112,990. If you wanted
to save $3k you could dispense
with the roof-top solar panels and
have a vision roof instead. The solar
panels are there to help charge
the battery pack and power the
heating and air conditioning.
Hyundai claims a driving
range of well over 400km for the
Ioniq 5 with the high capacity
battery pack, of course there are
many factors which govern that,
but I drove the evaluation car
quite sprightly and it didn’t lower
the capacity at any great rate.
Therein lies another surprise,
the Ioniq 5 has ultra fast charging,
you can boost the batteries
to 80 per cent from 10 per cent
in 18min, if you can hook into an
appropriate charge port, a 5min
boost will give you 100km of
range.
The evaluation car came only
with a three-pin domestic charge
cable and it’s fair to say I was a
little bit surprised to see it had an
estimated full charge time of 41
RADICAL: The shape of the Ioniq 5 is futuristic. The design
cues are carried through to the interior.
HYUNDAI IONIQ 5: Fully electric and available in a six-model range starting from $79,990.
hours when I plugged it in from
empty. But, in effect, an overnight
charge will easily take care of that
daily commute to the Canterbury
townships.
I mentioned the Ioniq is fast,
in Limited form it will lunge
to 100km/h from a standstill
in 5.2sec and will fly through a
highway overtake in 4sec (80-
120km/h). Hyundai also claim a
top speed of 185km/h.
The Ioniq 5’s four-wheel-drive
system comes through two
electric motors – front and rear
obviously. In terms of power output
the combined total is listed at
225kW, but the most interesting
figures are those of combined
torque – 605Nm in total – those
outputs available instantly and
everywhere in the speed band, it
is a quick car and one that feels
exciting to drive.
First, though, you need to familiarise
yourself with the controls,
there’s a wealth of technology in
the car and the layout is like nothing
you’ve seen anywhere before.
The display graphics dominate
the interior and the functions are
deep, the system is reasonably
intuitive, but you’ll need time to
remember the drive lever (gearshift)
is on the right hand side of
the steering column.
Other than that, the Ioniq 5
• Price – Hyundai Ioniq 5
Limited, $112,990

• Configuration – Electric

drives much like the feel you
get in any EV, although there is
strong retardation through motor
braking that eases somewhat the
pressure you need to put on the
brake pedal. There are also individual
power preferences through
selecting the drive mode that best
suits your driving style.
I took the Ioniq 5 through to
Darfield and return, and drove it
vividly; of course, it is stunningly
quiet and swift, and covers distance
effortlessly. It rides on huge
20in wheels and there’s a lot of
rubber on the road, as a consequence
there is a lot of steering
feed and good loading on the
steering wheel.
A couple of challenging corners
near Burnham were met with
dignity and accuracy. The weight
of the batteries is contained sandwiched
in the floorpan which
keeps the centre of gravity low,
and even though it is tall (1.6m)
the Ioniq 5 doesn’t move over the
suspension, body movement is
all but negated. A sporty driving
sensation is constantly on offer if
you are tackling a long open road
journey.
The Ioniq 5 is also a car that
will suit all driving styles and all
journeys. You can’t market any
car as an SUV unless it meets all
criteria, and I’m pleased to report
the Ioniq 5 covers the bases in
that respect. It also has much kit,
column space doesn’t allow for a
comprehensive detailing but to
say it wants for little in terms of
comfort, convenience and safety.
The Ioniq 5’s in-your-face
design is well matched through
its ability. There’s no doubt
Hyundai has put research and
development into the vehicle.
It’s a bold statement, but it also
reeks of functionality and will
certainly satisfy those who want
to be in the electric revolution
early.
Hyundai is also building on the
Ioniq 5 concept, there is a sedan
looming and a larger SUV in the
manufacturing process.
These are exciting times and
the Ioniq 5 is certainly one car to
be very excited about.

Capturing expansive views that glide over the city towards the
Southern Alps, this fully renovated home's premiere position enjoys
a vista that's simply paradise.
This shining star has the ambience of a luxury resort with a focus on
contemporary style, design and comfort. With its natural outlook that
provides an ever-changing canvas, this substantial 256sqm home
features three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a clever
design that provides shelter from the easterly winds.
Positioned on an approx 700sqm flat section with drive-on access and
plenty of off-street parking, as well as an internal access double
garage. The upper level comprises three bedrooms, both master and
the guest bedroom with walk-in robe & ensuite.

that sprawls out to the outdoor living area.
