Reassurance sought<br />
over historical land<br />
• By Mick Jensen<br />
A COMMUNITY group is<br />
seeking a reassurance that land<br />
with significant historical value<br />
will be excluded from an area<br />
proposed for a new council<br />
wastewater irrigation project at<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 />

protection and separation of the<br />
sawmill site from the proposed<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 />

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 />
Each race may only take<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 />

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 />
