Reassurance sought<br />

over historical land<br />

• By Mick Jensen<br />

A COMMUNITY group is<br />

with significant historical value<br />

will be excluded from an area<br />

proposed for a new council<br />

Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

THe land includes the site of<br />

Canterbury’s first water-powered<br />

sawmill and a restored 19thcentury<br />

THe city council had not yet<br />

formed a strategy to safeguard<br />

the historic area and planned<br />

to submit a resource consent<br />

application without doing so, he<br />

said.<br />

Pavilion will recognise war veterans<br />

A TRADITIONAL Korean roofed<br />

pavilion to be installed in the Songpagu<br />

Garden at Halswell Quarry Park<br />

will commemorate Canterbury<br />

veterans of the Korean War.<br />

The pavilion (jeongja) is being<br />

shipped from Busan in Korea and on<br />

arrival at Lyttelton Port will be assembled<br />

at the quarry park and placed<br />

on the western side of the garden. The<br />

installation is planned to be completed<br />

by June.<br />

It will join existing monuments including<br />

a memorial bridge commemorating<br />

the Korean War and traditional<br />

Korean totem poles – a symbol of<br />

friendship between Christchurch and<br />

its sister city Songpa-gu.<br />

The Canterbury Korean War<br />

Veterans’ Pavilion will have plaques<br />

naming each veteran located under the<br />

overhang of the roof.<br />

More than 6000 New Zealanders<br />

served in Korea between 1950-57.<br />

Forty five men lost their lives during<br />

this engagement.<br />

“The jeongja honours the Korean<br />

War Veterans in Canterbury and their<br />

Treasures from the past<br />

sacrifices made during the Korean<br />

War,” says Korean Society of Christchurch<br />

president and member of the<br />

Christchurch-Songpa-gu Sister City<br />

Committee, Mary Yoon.<br />

“We also commemorate the 60th<br />

diplomatic relations anniversary<br />

between New Zealand and South<br />

Korea and hope to further strengthen<br />

the relationship for many years to<br />

come.”<br />

Songpa-gu Garden is maintained<br />

by members of the committee and the<br />

wider Korean community.<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> popular with bathers<br />

The quiet, sheltered beach in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> has been attracting<br />

swimmers from the <strong>18</strong>80s. It has been described as a ‘pleasure resort for<br />

the public of Canterbury.’<br />

Green light for new Akaroa wharf design<br />

• By Mick Jensen<br />

Lianne<br />

Dalziel<br />

A CONCEPT design to replace<br />

the 134-year-old Akaroa Wharf<br />

has been approved by the city<br />

council.<br />

It will see the wharf rebuilt<br />

in the same position and at<br />

the same length as the existing<br />

wharf, using a mix of timber<br />

decking and concrete piles.<br />

Demolition of the existing<br />

structure and construction of the<br />

new wharf is expected to start<br />

in 2024 with a target completion<br />

date of June 30, 2025.<br />

<strong>May</strong>or Lianne<br />

Dalziel said it<br />

was wonderful<br />

to have a plan<br />

approved and for<br />

the next stages<br />

of work to get underway.<br />

“Community<br />

and stakeholder<br />

input into the<br />

concept design has been extensive<br />

and valuable and the end<br />

result is a structure that retains<br />

the iconic setting, look and feel<br />

of the existing wharf.<br />

“The wharf is an integral part<br />

of the coastal landscape and<br />

identity of Akaroa township<br />

and retaining that has been<br />

uppermost in people’s minds<br />

as this concept design has been<br />

developed,’’ she said.<br />

CONCEPT: Akaroa Wharf will be rebuilt in the same position and at the same length as the existing wharf.<br />

Black Cat Cruises chief executive<br />

Paul Milligan said he was<br />

happy progress was being made<br />

with the project.<br />

He said there was ‘‘still a lot<br />

of water to go under the bridge’’<br />

and more clarity was needed.<br />

‘‘As a building owner and vessel<br />

operator at the wharf we want<br />

more certainty as to how we can<br />

continue to operate.<br />

‘‘Council has floated some<br />

ideas and we’ll need to work<br />

through those options over the<br />

coming months.’’<br />

Milligan said he had always<br />

supported the proposal to build<br />

the wharf at the same location<br />

and with the same footprint.<br />

‘‘We expect the reality of<br />

operating our business over the<br />

next few years will mean shortterm<br />

pain for long-term gain,’’<br />

he said.<br />

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks<br />

Peninsula Community Board<br />

chair Tori Peden welcomed the<br />

approval of the concept designs.<br />

The project was moving<br />

forward and following the<br />

tendering process. The detailed<br />

design phase would follow.<br />

The city council needed to<br />

continue to look at the best<br />

ways to work with businesses<br />

on temporary access during<br />

the construction period and to<br />

minimise disruption for them.<br />

Peden said alternative wharf<br />

options were being looked into<br />

for boat access.<br />

The city council will continue<br />

to work closely with Ōnuku<br />

Rūnanga and Heritage New<br />

Zealand to integrate the story<br />

of the wharf and its location<br />

into the expression of the new<br />

structure.<br />

Call for area to<br />

have reserve status<br />

• From page 1<br />

Robinson said ultimately<br />

the city council had undertaken<br />

the large wastewater project to<br />

right a wrong and to remove<br />

the old treatment plant from<br />

another highly significant<br />

cultural site.<br />

“We feel that by not ensuring<br />

the protection of another of<br />

the community’s culture and<br />

heritage assets, council are now<br />

causing another offence.’’<br />

THe association<br />

commissioned its own<br />

archaeological report<br />

which shows medium<br />

to high historical values<br />

of the site. It wants to<br />

keep the surface features<br />

visible and preserve above<br />

ground structures.<br />

As well as the cottage,<br />

there is an historic tramway and<br />

pond at the site.<br />

“The latest information we<br />

have is that council staff are<br />

still awaiting various technical<br />

reports and only then will<br />

they decide if the heritage area<br />

around the cottage can be<br />

excluded from the scheme.<br />

“THey are hesitant to release<br />

any of the land until after<br />

resource consent and conditions<br />

have been finalised,’’ Robinsons<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> Residents and Ratepayers<br />

Association member Sue<br />

Church said.<br />

“THere is some urgency to<br />

this and we want a commitment<br />

that the land will be protected<br />

regardless of the needs of the<br />

wastewater scheme,’’ she said.<br />

THe group want a 4.8ha area<br />

excluded from the wastewater<br />

project, which would result in an<br />

area of 1.3ha lost to wastewater<br />

irrigation.<br />

THey would also like to see the<br />

city council set up the<br />

site as a reserve, which<br />

the community will<br />

look after.<br />

THe original mill<br />

cottage was sold<br />

off in 2000 when<br />

the farmland was<br />

Sue Church subdivided and<br />

purchased by the<br />

Pavitt family, who have fully<br />

restored it. It is listed in the<br />

district plan.<br />

THe residents’ association is<br />

also keen to arrange a workshop<br />

to present further commercially<br />

sensitive opportunities involving<br />

Pavitt cottage to the community<br />

board.<br />

THe board expects to<br />

receive a city council staff<br />

update on the Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong><br />

wastewater irrigation plans<br />

soon.<br />

Proposed speed limits<br />

under discussion<br />

• By Mick Jensen<br />

NEW recommended lower<br />

speed limits for some side roads<br />

adjoining State Highway 75 on<br />

Banks Peninsula and in some<br />

rural townships have been<br />

considered by the Te Pātaka o<br />

Rākaihautū-Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board, including<br />

a stretch of road near<br />

Little River where the<br />

speed is set to go from<br />

50km/h to 80km/h and<br />

then to 60km/h in the<br />

space of just 1km.<br />

At a meeting on<br />

Monday community<br />

board chair Tori Peden<br />

asked James Caygill<br />

from Waka Kotahi<br />

NZ Transport Agency<br />

the justification in keeping<br />

the section from Cooptown<br />

to the Wairewa Pa at<br />

80km/h.<br />

THe 80km/h stretch was an<br />

issue for locals who couldn’t<br />

understand it and were upset by<br />

it, she said.<br />

Caygill said Waka Kotahi<br />

was bound by the rules and the<br />

stretch of road did not meet<br />

technical criteria to lower the<br />

speed.<br />

Tori Peden<br />

THat section was classed as<br />

a standard rural road<br />

and unless there were<br />

more houses, access points or<br />

a change in the road design,<br />

there was no justification to<br />

change it.<br />

THe proposed 60km/h on<br />

the state highway through<br />

Takamatua was another<br />

road speed questioned by<br />

Peden.<br />

Caygill said it was<br />

a long stretch of clear<br />

road, but had side road<br />

connections.<br />

Peden asked if double<br />

yellow lines could be put<br />

in down the middle of the<br />

road to stop overtaking.<br />

She was told it would be<br />

investigated.<br />

THe speed limit review has<br />

been undertaken by the city<br />

council and Waka Kotahi and<br />

lowered speeds will mainly<br />

affect low volume rural roads<br />

and those in small townships<br />

including Takamatua,<br />

Motukarara and Robinsons<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

THe speed limit changes will<br />

take place in late July/early<br />

August.<br />

Project to support youth soon to be under way<br />

• By Mick Jensen<br />

A NEW community project<br />

that provides support to youth<br />

in the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> area is<br />

set to be launched.<br />

THe project will employ a<br />

worker from 24-7 Youth Work<br />

to connect and inspire young<br />

people and to give them a sense<br />

of community.<br />

TWO NEW signalised crossings on<br />

Humphrey’s Drive will provide safe<br />

crossing points for people using the<br />

Rapanui-Shag Rock cycleway.<br />

Construction work began last<br />

week and is expected to take<br />

between five and seven months to<br />

complete. Accompanying works<br />

will also take place to widen ‘pinch<br />

points’ on Humphrey’s Drive and<br />

upgrade Tidal View.<br />

The crossing points will connect<br />

the Charlesworth Reserve section<br />

of the cycleway to the Ferrymead<br />

Bridge-Redcliffs section of the<br />

coastal pathway.<br />

One will be placed near Windsurfer<br />

Reserve and one near the<br />

intersection of Humphrey’s Drive<br />

and Tidal View.<br />

“These signalised crossing will<br />

provide cyclists with a safe connection<br />

point across what is a very<br />

busy road. We’ll also be replacing<br />

It is being run as a<br />

partnership between<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Youth And<br />

Community Trust, Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> School and <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

House Church.<br />

Community trust chair<br />

Matt Swaney said it was an<br />

exciting opportunity for youth<br />

in the area and only been<br />

made possible because of the<br />

the failing seawall along the front<br />

of Tidal View and implementing a<br />

new streetscape plan for this area,”<br />

city council head of transport Lynette<br />

Ellis said.<br />

“New picnic tables, cycle parking,<br />

water drinking fountain and<br />

an outdoor shower will make it<br />

an amenable space for a picnic, for<br />

windsurfers and foilers accessing<br />

the estuary or to use it as a starting<br />

point for a trip along the coastal<br />

pathway.”<br />

Vehicle speeds will be reduced to<br />

30km/h along Tidal View.<br />

The cycleway connects Sumner<br />

via the pathway to the central city,<br />

passing through Linwood. It has<br />

one final section through Moncks<br />

That work is currently under<br />

THe school and church<br />

would contribute half of the<br />

costs of employing a youth<br />

worker for 20 hours per week<br />

and the trust would fund the<br />

rest.<br />

He said the youth worker<br />

would spend 10 hours per week<br />

at the school and would focus<br />

primarily on working with the<br />

older students in years 6-8.<br />

Other projects would work<br />

with youth up to the age of<br />

<strong>18</strong>, who travelled away to<br />

high school and often found<br />

themselves disconnected from<br />

their community.<br />

‘‘It’s about working with<br />

youth and providing them<br />

with a voice and ownership<br />

in the community,’’ Swaney<br />

said.<br />

He said the wider<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> area had<br />

around 200 people under<br />

the age of <strong>18</strong> and there were<br />

opportunities to support them<br />

better.<br />

Dogs in Early New Zealand Photographs<br />

Introduction by Mike White<br />

Adorable and sometimes surprising historic images of dogs and their owners<br />

This entertaining selection of over 100 photos of New Zealand dogs reveals some of the<br />

more curious ways in which they have appeared in photographic collections from the<br />

nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.<br />

Dogs named Terror, Betsey Jane, Floss and Erebus appear alongside canines whose<br />

names are longer known. The photos range from carefully staged studio portraits to New<br />

Zealand landscapes.<br />

The photographs take the reader across the towns and landscapes of Aotearoa New<br />

Zealand, and the text profiles many of the photographers and studios that flourished prior<br />

to the First World War. A charming mix of history and whimsy, this beautiful book makes<br />

the perfect gift for any dog lover.<br />

Yum - Nadia Lim<br />

YUM! is for anyone who wants to feed the family nutritious, delicious food.<br />

One of the best feelings you can have as a parent is when your child gobbles up a meal<br />

you’ve cooked for them, especially when you know it’s chockfull of good stuff. But any<br />

parent knows that this doesn’t happen every time. Getting your child to love food (and<br />

I mean, good wholesome food) is not always easy. That’s where I hope YUM! comes<br />

in handy. With over 100 parent- and child-tested recipes, and practical, down-to-earth<br />

tips and discussions about starting solids, fussy eating, food allergies and more, it will<br />

become the go-to for families.<br />

Freezing Order<br />

a true story of russian Money laundering, state-sponsored<br />

Murder,and surviving vladimir Putin’s Wrath by Bill Browder<br />

When Bill Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a<br />

Moscow jail, Browder made it his life’s mission to go after his killers and make sure they<br />

faced justice. The first step of that mission was to uncover who was behind the $230<br />

million tax refund scheme that Magnitsky was killed over. As Browder and his team<br />

tracked the money as it flowed out of Russia through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to<br />

Western Europe and the Americas, they were shocked to discovered that Vladimir Putin<br />

himself was a beneficiary of the crime.<br />

As law enforcement agencies began freezing the money, Putin retaliated. At once a<br />

financial caper, an international adventure and a passionate plea for justice, Freezing<br />

Order is a timely and stirring morality tale about how one man can take on one of the<br />

most ruthless villains in the world.<br />

Cracking Open the Nest Egg<br />

How to make your retirement savings last the distance<br />

by Martin Hawes<br />

Planning for retirement can be a scary thought, whether it is just around the corner or<br />

years in the future. Martin Hawes, one of New Zealand’s best-known experts on personal<br />

finance, answers all of the questions that may be keeping you up at night: How much will<br />

I need to retire? Can I ever afford to stop working? How do I make sure my money lasts<br />

as long as I do? Working out how you can achieve a regular monthly retirement income<br />

is more difficult than it used to be. Historically low interest rates (despite the current blip)<br />

plus longer life expectancy means the old method of parking your nest egg in a savings<br />

account and living off the interest is no longer an option. Hawes guides you step-by-step<br />

through the planning process, showing you how you can safely create a regular income<br />

for the rest of your life.<br />

Ideals Are Like Stars<br />

the dame yvette Williams story By angela Walker<br />

The first New Zealand woman to win an Olympic gold medal, a feat not repeated for forty<br />

years. Ideals Are Like Stars is the remarkable true story of Yvette Williams, a trailblazing<br />

young athlete who defied the odds to win gold in the long jump at the Helsinki Olympics<br />

in 1952. Ignoring the pressure to abandon her dreams and become a housewife, Yvette’s<br />

sports career is a highlight reel of newly set records which propelled her into the spotlight.<br />

Well-known for her rigorous training, down-to-earth nature and sense of humour, Yvette<br />

was the epitome of the Kiwi sporting hero - humble, hardworking and dedicated - who<br />

won the hearts of the nation. This is a long overdue celebration of an extraordinary<br />

sporting life and a highly engaging chronicle of a young woman’s quest for excellence.<br />

Drone racing skills for Shrimpy Boy<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

HE MAY be called Shrimpy<br />

Boy – but his field of expertise<br />

is far removed from eating<br />

crustaceans.<br />

Instead Jayden Jackson races<br />

drones at speeds of up to <strong>18</strong>0-<br />

190km/h, which requires him<br />

to memorise racing circuits and<br />

learn how to navigate them in<br />

the shortest time. To do this he<br />

possesses excellent hand-eye coordination.<br />

The drone racing pilot is the<br />

first New Zealander to be invited<br />

to join the Drone Champions<br />

League in Europe.<br />

The 25-year-old builder from<br />

Lincoln is the latest addition to<br />

the SDT Euroflytec drone racing<br />

team, based in Spain.<br />

His dream of racing<br />

‘first person view’ drones<br />

internationally has come to<br />

fruition.<br />

He said it all came as a bit of a<br />

shock when his name was posted<br />

on the team list.<br />

“Somehow, my name came<br />

up first in the draft – it blew me<br />

away and I couldn’t believe it,”<br />

Jackson said.<br />

“The British team said they<br />

would like to talk to me but the<br />

Spanish team called first.”<br />

The champions drone league is<br />

one of the fastest-growing team<br />

sports in the world.<br />

Currently six teams representing<br />

SPEED: The racing drone has a mini video camera on its nose which is linked to the head<br />

set worn by ace pilot Jayden Jackson.<br />

•Watch the video on starnews.co.nz<br />

China, Japan, United States,<br />

United Kingdom, Spain,<br />

and Korea compete with 12<br />

international players each.<br />

All the drone racers attempt<br />

to qualify for the final with<br />

only one hour of practice on<br />

purpose-built tracks that vary in<br />

complexity from race to race.<br />

The four fastest from each<br />

team wins the chance to race in<br />

the final grand prix event.<br />

“So the competition is crazy<br />

for those slots,” Jackson said.<br />

“It will be like this throughout<br />

the whole year, just like a<br />

formula one qualifying session.”<br />

To find the best of the best<br />

worldwide, aspiring drone FPV<br />

racers compete on the league’s<br />

drone racing simulator online,<br />

trying to earn the fastest time on<br />

the circuits offered – all within<br />

a strict seven-day window of<br />

competition.<br />

Jackson said anyone, anywhere<br />

has the chance to compete.<br />

“But first you have to make<br />

it into the top 300 worldwide.<br />

That’s made up of the top 200<br />

pilots from the pc steam gaming<br />

software and the top 100 of<br />

those playing on Xboxes and<br />

PlayStations.<br />

“You race again and then the<br />

final 100 pilots selected have<br />

five attempts during a 24-hour<br />

window of opportunity to be<br />

the fastest around the track.<br />

From those results the draft<br />

comprising of the top players are<br />

selected.”<br />

Before Covid-19 forced the<br />

hybrid indoor/outdoor sport<br />

to go online, competitors only<br />

used the game to qualify for each<br />

actual race, now this form of<br />

hybrid racing is used for the real<br />

grand prix too.<br />

“It’s an awesome prospect<br />

and it has been my dream since<br />

I started in the sport two years<br />

ago,” Jackson said.<br />

The physical racing drones are<br />

custom-built and made purely<br />

for racing. They can’t be bought<br />

off the shelf.<br />

Each drone is hand-made by<br />

the teams using cutting edge<br />

technology, electronics and<br />

software.<br />

“The drones are one of a kind.<br />

They’re custom-built and very<br />

fast, full of titanium and carbon<br />

fibre. It’s all the computing in<br />

them, they’re a different kettle<br />

of fish to the DJI’s most people<br />

think of when you say you fly a<br />

drone.”<br />

‘There are no second chances’<br />

• From page 7<br />

The pilots use integrated<br />

goggles, which relay the picture<br />

from a wireless video camera<br />

mounted on the nose of the<br />

drone to the headset. It allows<br />

the pilots to make course<br />

corrections in a fraction of<br />

a second using a hand-held<br />

controller. The ones with the best<br />

hand-eye co-ordination win.<br />

“It’s either get it right or you<br />

crash. At the speeds we travel at,<br />

there are no second chances,”<br />

Jackson said.<br />

Like the car racing world,<br />

Jackson said drone racing is all<br />

about the amount of time spent<br />

practicing and ensuring your<br />

hand and eye co-ordination is<br />

fast enough for the speeds raced<br />

at. He spends as much time as<br />

he can training online and races<br />

real drones in the red zone most<br />

weekends.<br />

“Races are timed and won by<br />

the smallest of margins – 100th of<br />

a second in many cases,” he said.<br />

The actual drone races are held<br />

on circuits that vary in length<br />

and force the pilots to corner at<br />

high speeds, dipping down under<br />

barriers or flying through gates.<br />

Winter camping<br />

permitted at<br />

Lakeside Domain<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

RESIDENTS around Lakeside<br />

Domain have been successful in<br />

their fight to have the domain’s<br />

campground remain open over<br />

winter.<br />

While overnight camping is<br />

closed at Chamberlains Ford,<br />

Coes Ford and Whitecliffs Domain<br />

from April 29 to October<br />

21, as it has been in previous<br />

years, the district council has<br />

relented on Lakeside Domain,<br />

located on the banks of Te Waihora<br />

Lake Ellesmere.<br />

District council group manager<br />

property Douglas Marshall<br />

said the district council recently<br />

updated its camping and reserves<br />

policy, with the winter<br />

closure rules.<br />

However, closing the camping<br />

areas at Lakeside Domain would<br />

have required closing the main<br />

gates.<br />

“The community raised the<br />

valid point that this restricts<br />

access for other activities on the<br />

reserve,” Marshall said.<br />

Marshall met with a group of<br />

residents from the surrounding<br />

area on site, on two occasions.<br />

PHOTO: LAWA<br />

“These were productive meetings,<br />

and we agreed to the gates<br />

would remain open to allow<br />

access.”<br />

Campers will be allowed a<br />

maximum 28-day stay at the<br />

grounds, as applies during the<br />

rest of the year.<br />

The changes to the policy<br />

had been undertaken to help<br />

comply with Reserve Act<br />

requirements of no permanent<br />

stays on recreational reserves,<br />

as well as to reflect that the<br />

majority of recreational reserves<br />

were already closed over<br />

winter anyway, due to ground<br />

conditions. Additionally, winter<br />

was the perfect time for the<br />

district council to undertake<br />

maintenance, when few<br />

recreational campers visited.<br />

The Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> Bathers<br />

ACCORDING TO certain<br />

ancient narratives of Aotearoa,<br />

Mahuika, the goddess of fire,<br />

threw her last spark into the<br />

form of the kaikōmako tree to<br />

keep it safe from her grandson<br />

Maui’s deceits.<br />

And three centuries ago<br />

the great Ngāi Tahu leader Te<br />

Rakiwhakaputa, on passing<br />

through what many now call<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>, gave it the name<br />

Motu-kauati-iti, the little firemaking<br />

tree grove, owing to the<br />

treasured kaikōmako trees there<br />

that early Māori used to reignite<br />

Mahuika’s fire.<br />

In the years following the Canterbury<br />

Association’s purchase<br />

of the Canterbury Plains outside<br />

Whakaraupō, Motu-kauati-iti<br />

acquired the Pākehā name of<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>. On April 23, <strong>18</strong>61,<br />

a strong south-wester caused the<br />

steamship Omeo to drag her anchor<br />

chain off Naval Point, tangling<br />

with Captain Thomas Gay’s<br />

whaling brigantine, which was<br />

set adrift in the gale. The sailing<br />

ship was wrecked on the rocks in<br />

the small sandy bay around the<br />

corner, and this corsair gave its<br />

name to that place.<br />

The quiet, sheltered and rather<br />

beautiful swimming beach has<br />

been popular with locals from at<br />

least the <strong>18</strong>80s on, with Christ’s<br />

College and Christchurch Boys’<br />

High School swimming sports<br />

being held there from <strong>18</strong>86.<br />

The bay’s popularity as a<br />

swimming destination increased<br />

markedly in the early 1900s after<br />

the Dampier and Sandy bays in<br />

Lyttelton were incorporated into<br />

the fast developing port. And<br />

in 1905, the Lyttelton Borough<br />

Council passed a bill in the<br />

Parliament to gazette the Corsair<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> Recreation Reserve ‘as a<br />

pleasure resort for the public of<br />

Canterbury’.<br />

Bathers at Corsair<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, early 1900s.<br />

Lyttelton Museum ref<br />

https://www.teuaka.<br />

org.nz/onlinecollection/1135397<br />

This pleasure resort rapidly<br />

took form in the following two<br />

years, 1906-7, as 24 prisoners<br />

from the Lyttelton Gaol ‘hard<br />

labour gang’ were put to work<br />

clearing rocks, building the sea<br />

wall, and forging the promenade<br />

walk around to the Lyttelton Domain.<br />

A jetty was built, followed<br />

by a playground, pavilions, and a<br />

women’s bathing enclosure with<br />

accompanying, ladies’ dressing<br />

sheds and steps down to the<br />

bath.<br />

Apparently the enclosure kept<br />

the sharks at bay, attracted as<br />

they were by the Cass <strong>Bay</strong> abattoir<br />

that discharged its bloody<br />

offal directly into the harbour<br />

waters.<br />

Following complaints regarding<br />

certain rowdy young men<br />

making use of the ladies’ baths,<br />

indecently clothed and of rather<br />

course manners and tongue, the<br />

Lyttelton Borough Councillors<br />

promptly passed a 1908 bylaw to<br />

enforce ‘the decent and orderly<br />

control of Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> as a pleasure<br />

resort’.<br />

A men’s dressing shed and diving<br />

platform was subsequently<br />

built on the opposite, eastern<br />

side of the bay, the piles of which<br />

can still be seen today as one<br />

walks down the path towards the<br />

beach.<br />

These developments transformed<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> into<br />

Canterbury’s premier beachside<br />

playground through the 1910s<br />

into the 20s and 30s. Crowds<br />

would flock into Lyttelton on a<br />

summer’s Sunday via the train,<br />

and then promenade in their<br />

finest wear around the coastline<br />

walkway, or climb aboard an<br />

alarmingly overcrowded ferry.<br />

By 1921, the crowds were<br />

becoming excessive with<br />

reportedly up to 2500 people<br />

cramming onto the beach and in<br />

the water.<br />

The Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> beachside<br />

pleasure resort remained a popular<br />

Canterbury summer destination<br />

for generations of Cantabrians<br />

through into the 1960s,<br />

after which, the big crowds faded<br />

and the facilities slowly degraded<br />

back into the sea.<br />

Nowadays, only the seawall,<br />

a raft and one jetty remain, but<br />

far from being a mere shadow of<br />

its former heyday, today’s Motukauati-iti<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> remains<br />

a secluded and very pleasant<br />

swimming beach of a summer’s<br />

day in Whakaraupō.<br />

Fuel-friendly Fiat 500 sure to appeal<br />

MUCH OF THE talk around<br />

motor vehicles in the last couple<br />

of months has centered around<br />

fuel use.<br />

With petrol (and diesel) prices<br />

up and down like a yo-yo, the<br />

cost of filling up a tank is on<br />

almost every car owner’s mind.<br />

That’s where small, fuel-efficient<br />

cars come in, those that<br />

have small engines and have<br />

technology that maximises every<br />

drop are being snapped up almost<br />

as quickly as they arrive in the<br />

country.<br />

One company offering good<br />

supply is Fiat, and it has a new<br />

500 landing in healthy numbers.<br />

What’s more, it has a low carbon<br />

emission engine that means a<br />

buyer will be eligible for a $2<strong>18</strong>0<br />

rebate through the clean car<br />

discount scheme, a Government<br />

initiative to lower greenhouse<br />

gases.<br />

Long gone are the days when<br />

the 500 was named Bambina<br />

here, its rear engine layout was<br />

advanced for its time and quickly<br />

won favour with a good part of<br />

the population.<br />

Today’s Fiat 500 is vastly different;<br />

sure it’s shape is extremely<br />

retrospective, but the engine sits<br />

up front (transversely), and with<br />

four-cylinders it has double the<br />

number as the original, it also has<br />

an engine of 1.2-litre against 479cc.<br />

RETROSPECTIVE: A wheel in each corner look for the Fiat 500.<br />

Even though the new Fiat 500<br />

has an engine that would appear<br />

sizeable for a small car, it has<br />

the efficiency that will make it<br />

desirable.<br />

Fiat list the new 500 with a<br />

4.8-litre per 100km combined<br />

cycle average, that’s about as good<br />

as it gets for a non-hybrid model<br />

and that makes it a stunningly<br />

economical car. What’s more, it is<br />

remarkably entertaining to drive.<br />

The 500 is instantly<br />

recognisable, not so much<br />

because of its diminutive stature,<br />

but it has a blunt sloping bonnet<br />

and a wheel in each corner look.<br />

Bear in mind though, the 500 is<br />

only a four-seater and those in<br />

the rear will need to be slight of<br />

build.<br />

The 500 is available here in two<br />

variations at present, high-performance<br />

Abarth models aside.<br />

There’s bound to be more options<br />

arriving as time goes by, but the<br />

choice now is what Fiat name<br />

Lounge and Dolcevita; effectively<br />

it is low and high grade, the test<br />

car was the entry-level model<br />

that sits at $22,990, which by my<br />

reckoning, is good value buying,<br />

the Dolcevita adds $3k. If you<br />

also take into account the little<br />

amount of fuel the 500 uses then<br />

outlay will be paid back over<br />

time.<br />

During my time in the evaluation<br />

car the fuel usage readout<br />

was listing an average of<br />

5.5l/100km which is an excellent<br />

return given the car was almost<br />

brand new (280km) and would<br />

still be tight in the engine. At<br />

100km/h it is sipping fuel at the<br />

rate of just 3.8l/100km.<br />

The interior is also retrospective,<br />

it clings to a design that’s not<br />

dissimilar to the original model<br />

that was built from 1957 to 1977.<br />

However, the newcomer does<br />

have modern elements such as a<br />

central touch screen display and<br />

other fitment that a new car buyer<br />

today would come to expect.<br />

I’ve long been a Fiat owner<br />

and over the years I have complained<br />

more about their seats<br />

and seating positions than any<br />

other car I’ve been involved with.<br />

But things have changed, the 500<br />

has brilliant seats, soft, grippy and<br />

with plenty of under-thigh support.<br />

From the moment you sit in<br />

them you know you are going to<br />

be comfortable.<br />

Under the bonnet sits a 1242cc<br />

engine, it develops just 51kW and<br />

102Nm but both these figures<br />

register just below the traditional<br />

points of the rev band, with<br />

maximum torque available at just<br />

1750rpm meaning the engine<br />

is barely ticking over before it is<br />

pulling at the best part of the rev<br />

band.<br />

Weighing just over 900kg, the<br />

Fiat 500’s engine doesn’t work<br />

hard to gain momentum. Yes, you<br />

do need to give the accelerator<br />

pedal a bit of a nudge at take-off,<br />

• Price – Fiat 500, $22,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

3571mm; width, 1627mm;<br />

height, 1488mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

1242cc, 51kW,<br />

102Nm, five-speed<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 12.9sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 4.8l/100km<br />

but once the engine becomes lively<br />

speed is ushered in willingly.<br />

Drive is channelled through a<br />

five-speed transmission that Fiat<br />

label Dualogic. Effectively, it is a<br />

manual gearbox with a robotised<br />

clutch but there are only two pedals<br />

so you treat it like a traditional<br />

automatic. One of the benefits is<br />

that you can use it like a manual,<br />

changing up or down simply<br />

by moving the gear lever at any<br />

given point.<br />

With sensible ratios the 500 is<br />

an easy city car, it is relaxing to<br />

drive and battles the rush-hour<br />

traffic without taxing the driver.<br />

Against the clock it will<br />

reach 100kmh from a standstill<br />

in 12.9sec, and it will make<br />

120km/h from 80km/h in around<br />

11sec.<br />

At open road speeds the 500 is<br />

quiet and relaxing to drive, any<br />

external sound is well stifled.<br />

Interestingly, Fiat has persevered<br />

with their dual mode<br />

power steering set-up.<br />

The 500 has a push-button city<br />

FIAT 500:<br />

Available<br />

in two<br />

specifications<br />

starting from<br />

$22,990 with<br />

a $2<strong>18</strong>0<br />

rebate.<br />

mode which lightens steering feel<br />

considerably to take the pressure<br />

of close confine manoeuvring.<br />

Personally, I preferred the more<br />

involving mode, but I do appreciate<br />

for those who have movement<br />

restriction or aren’t as strong in<br />

the wrists as they would like to<br />

be, the system would be of much<br />

benefit.<br />

I took the evaluation car for a<br />

couple of highway excursions,<br />

one of them was to west of<br />

Darfield where its handling dynamics<br />

were well captured.<br />

Sitting on soft spring and<br />

damper rates, the 500 has a plush<br />

and controlled ride that would<br />

have been hard to engineer, given<br />

its short wheelbase. Not only is<br />

it comfortable, but because of its<br />

light weight gravitational transfer<br />

in a corner isn’t significant. It<br />

can be placed into a corner with<br />

reasonable speed and its accuracy<br />

and precision will command<br />

control.<br />

The new 500 lands at a very<br />

opportune time, if its cheeky style<br />

and design doesn’t win friends<br />

then its economy will.<br />

Sure there are disadvantages, it<br />

is compact inside, and for those<br />

who are above average height<br />

and are consigned to the rear will<br />

need to be mindful their heads<br />

will reach the roofline, and space<br />

to spread out there is negligible.<br />

However, if you want a small<br />

car and like the idea of something<br />

retrospective, and Italian, then<br />

Fiat have created a very desirable<br />

package.<br />

has motoring covered!<br />
