100-year-old theatre group 

‘hanging on by a thread’ 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A SUMNER theatre company is 

“hanging on by a thread” after 

Covid has caused audience 

and volunteer numbers to 

dwindle. 

The Makutu Community 

Theatre (formerly Sumner 

Theatre Group) has been 

described as “dying a slow death” 

as it struggles to cover costs and 

bring in new volunteers. 

Theatre president Sarah 

Mankelow said before the 

February 22, 2011 earthquake, 

the group had 150 volunteers and 

it was difficult to fit everyone on 

stage. 

Now, with about 20 volunteers 

including cast, backstage workers 

and bar staff, the group is 

struggling to operate. 

“There’s so much work that 

goes into it, if there’s not enough 

people to spread the load then it 

becomes a chore and that’s when 

the fun goes out of it for those of 

us that are left,” she said. 

The group has been running for 

more than 100 years, performing 

cabaret-style shows that see the 

audience seated at tables rather 

than in rows. 

The group’s longest standing 

member Colin Evans remembers 

his first performance when he 

was 14 in 1986. He later joined the 

group when he was 25, becoming 

stage manager for three years. 

The now 50-year-old took a 

break in 2018, but has come back 

this year after seeing the group 

struggle to pull in audience and 

volunteer numbers. 

“I never really thought it was 

my thing as a kid, then I realised 

how much fun it is,” he said. 

Evans’ mother Lin and sister 

Karen Doak were also performers 

for the group, while his father 

Dave had been stage manager in 

the 1990s. 

“It’s been a pretty big part of my 

life, so I don’t want to see it die,” 

Evans said. 

There’s usually 10 shows each 

season, reduced to eight following 

the earthquake. 

However, this year there 

are only four, this Friday and 

Saturday night (August 12 and 

13) and next Friday and Saturday 

(19 and 20). 

Mankelow said the group is 

also struggling to cover costs for 

renting the city council owned 

building Matuku Takotako: 

Sumner Centre.

COVID HAS wreaked havoc 

across society and now the 

Makutu Community Theatre 

is feeling its savage effects 

(see page 1). 

The group says it is “dying 

a slow death” as it struggles 

to cover costs and bring in 

new volunteers. 

It once had 150 volunteers 

and full houses for 

productions, but there are 

now only about 20 people to 

cover cast, backstage workers 

and bar staff. Financing 

productions is also becoming 

a problem. 

“There’s so much work 

that goes into it, if there’s not 

enough people to spread the 

load then it becomes a chore 

and that’s when the fun goes 

out of it for those of us that 

are left,” says theatre president 

Sarah Mankelow. 

There is a cabaret coming 

up. Support it if you can.

No bus to Governors Bay questioned 

• By Tina Grumball 

GOVERNORS BAY residents 

are questioning why they weren’t 

involved in a recent extension of 

a bus route around the bays. 

Environment Canterbury and 

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

members Reuben Davidson and 

Tyrone Fields trumpeted the 

service to Rapaki Bay in Bay 

Harbour News when it was reintroduced 

two weeks ago. 

But the community 4km 

further along have said they have 

not heard anything about when 

they might have a service of their 

own again. 

When bus route 28 was under 

review earlier this year, residents 

of Governors Bay sent 49 submissions 

to ECan, Governors 

Bay Community Transport Trust 

former chairwoman Jennifer 

Swaffield said. 

The submissions encouraged 

ECan to extend the route to Governors 

Bay. 

However, resident David 

Gregory said ECan ignored 

submissions as no one had heard 

anything back. 

Swaffield did not recall anyone 

having contact either. 

ECan’s senior manager public 

transport, Stewart Gibbon, told 

Bay Harbour News it received 

feedback from the Governors 

HIKING BOOTS 

& SHOES 

Jennifer 

Swaffield 

said 49 

submissions 

were sent to 

ECan. 

Bay community during the review, 

but most submissions were 

outside the scope of it. 

However, staff were to perform 

another service review for the 

bays, including Governors, and 

a review of improved schedules 

for workers requiring earlier 

services. 

Governors Bay would be 

incorporated into the service 

review planned for 2023/24, he 

said. 

“We value all feedback from 

our communities and encourage 

the Governors Bay community 

to continue having their say on 

public transport.” 

Community board member 

Tyrone Fields said he was aware 

of the desire for an increase of 

public transport around the 

harbour. 

While supportive of the Governors 

Bay community’s needs, 

NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER 

TO THE NZ JET BOATING 

COMMUNITY FOR OVER 

50 YEARS 

he acknowledged the topic was 

complex to solve. 

“In a world where Environment 

Canterbury funds 

bus routes and [city council] 

funds infrastructure, it needs 

co-ordination between the 

different stakeholders to get the 

cut-through against a narrative 

of service and funding cuts,” he 

noted. 

Fellow member Reuben 

Davidson said the bus add-on 

showed “how effective it is when 

communities, who have the 

need, consult directly with the 

regional council who manage the 

resource.” 

The service was just a “positive 

step, but not the end of the conversation,” 

he said. 

Fields commented that “public 

transport services to the Lyttleton 

bays have been eroded over 

the years, both for school kids 

and for residents.” 

“The recent win for Cass Bay 

was welcome and hard fought 

by residents and there is plenty 

to do.” 

Governors Bay Community 

Association chairwoman Karen 

Banwell said the issue wasn’t 

easy to solve as, though the community 

wanted a bus, the current 

bus 28 went through Lyttleton, 

which was out of the way. 

The last time a public transport 

bus entered Governor’s Bay 

was 11 years ago. 

Only after persistent campaigning 

did ECan provide the 

service, which was enjoyed for 

three weeks before it terminated 

it after the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

Banwell said the bus service 

went through Dyers Pass and 

linked up to other services at The 

Princess Margaret Hospital. 

Not only were the roads damaged, 

but ECan said there was 

not enough patronage to keep it 

going; something Swaffield said 

was “a bit unfair” considering it 

had run for so little time. 

The organisation did, however, 

grant the community some 

funds for the Transport Trust 

to start running the GovBus in 

2013. 

But the community had to 

manage the bus themselves and 

were entirely reliant on volunteer 

drivers. 

After Covid-19 rolled through, 

the already struggling service 

ground to a halt and the trust 

was officially disestablished 

recently. 

“There’s only so much you can 

expect people to do,” Swaffield 

said. 

Community board chairwoman 

Tori Peden said the board 

would be “more than happy to 

help” and advocate for the Governor’s 

Bay residents. 

Every year the board sent in 

submissions to ECan and Peden 

said they had been bringing the 

community to the table. 

If the bus was reinstated, 

Swaffield said not only would 

residents use it to get to 

Christchurch central, but others 

would use it to visit Governors 

Bay; something they saw 

people doing when GovBus was 

running.

Diamond Harbour wharf work starts soon 

PREPARATIONS are under 

way for the start of work on a $3 

million upgrade of the Diamond 

Harbour Wharf. 

Contractors are due to begin 

working on the wharf on September 

1. 

The wharf, which is used for 

the regular Black Cat ferry service 

from Lyttelton, is being upgraded 

to improve its lifespan and to address 

accessibility issues. 

“People in 

wheelchairs can’t 

get onto the ferry 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

from the wharf 

and it is also difficult 

for those with 

bikes or pushchairs. 

The steps 

are often under 

water or slippery, 

which makes getting on and off 

the ferry tricky, particularly when 

conditions are a bit rough,’’ city 

council head of parks Andrew 

Rutledge said. 

“To improve access and safety 

we are going to put a floating 

pontoon on the south side of the 

wharf where there is more protection 

from the wind and the waves. 

We are also going to upgrade the 

existing decking, handrails and 

seating on the main wharf.’’ 

The decommissioned Derrick 

crane that currently sits on the 

wharf is going to be retained, but 

it will be relocated to the other 

side of the wharf. 

The entire project will take 

about six months and the contractor, 

Hunter Civil, will stage 

the work so that the wharf can 

remain open. However, access 

will be limited and there may 

be temporary changes, at times, 

to the way that people get onto 

the wharf. These changes will be 

clearly signposted. 

The first stage of the work will 

involve driving piles into the 

seabed for the new pontoon to 

connect to. Once the piles are 

in place and the pontoon connected, 

Hunter Civil will start the 

maintenance and repair work on 

the wharf itself. 

“During this time the pontoon 

will be connected to the piles attached 

to the wharf by a gangway. 

We are working closely with Environment 

Canterbury and Black 

Cat to ensure there is minimal 

disruption to commuters during 

this time,’’ Rutledge said. 

“The environmental assessment 

we commissioned shows the piling 

work should have little impact 

on the marine environment, but 

we are going to have a marine 

mammal observer present during 

the piling operation. If they spot a 

dolphin or other marine mammal 

within 400m of the site, the piling 

work will stop until they have 

left the area or there has been 30 

minutes without a sighting.’’ 

Over the summer people will 

still be able to swim in Diamond 

Harbour and access their moorings 

but they will need to be 

mindful of the construction activity 

on and around the wharf. 

“We realise this work will 

cause some disruption but the 

Diamond Harbour wharf is used 

by many people and its needs 

PROJECT: An 

upgrade of 

Diamond Harbour 

wharf will take 

about six months. 

PHOTO: 

NEWSLINE 

upgrading. We want the wharf 

to be safe, accessible and a more 

pleasant space,’’ Rutledge said. 

“We are hoping to have the 

work completed in about six 

months but as with all construction 

projects involving old structures, 

you never know exactly 

what you are going to encounter 

until you start doing the physical 

work. There is also a possibility 

that we may encounter some 

supply chain issues. If there are 

delays that impact the delivery of 

the project or the operation of the 

ferry, we will let people know.’’

The Next Everest 

surviving the Mountain’s deadliest day and Finding the 

resilience to Climb again by Jim davidson 

On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount Everest when a 7.8 magnitude 

earthquake released avalanches all around him and his team, destroying their only escape route 

and trapping them at nearly 20,000 feet. It was the largest earthquake in Nepal in 81 years and 

killed nearly 8,900 people. That day also became the deadliest in the history of Everest, with 

eighteen people losing their lives on the mountain. After spending two unsettling days stranded 

on Everest, Davidson’s team was rescued by helicopter. The experience left him shaken, and 

despite his thirty-three years of climbing and serving as an expedition leader, he wasn’t sure that 

he would ever go back. But in the face of risk and uncertainty, he returned in 2017 and finally 

achieved his dream of reaching the summit. Suspenseful and engrossing, The Next Everest 

portrays the experience of living through the biggest disaster to ever hit the mountain. This story 

is not about “conquering” the world’s highest peak. Instead, it reveals how embracing change, 

challenge, and uncertainty prepares anyone to face their “next Everest” in life. 

The Founders 

elon Musk, Peter thiel and the Company that Made the 

Modern Internet By Jimmy soni 

Out of Paypal’s ranks have come three billionaires and dozens of multi-millionaires, 

including household names like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman. Paypal’s 

alumni have built, funded and advised almost all of the billion-dollar-plus companies to 

emerge from Silicon Valley in the past two decades. Today, every online video you watch 

and every internet purchase you make bears PayPal’s fingerprints -- its inventions made 

the modern internet possible and are embedded in our social networks, our banks and 

our intelligence agencies. This book tells the gripping story of how the so-called PayPal 

Mafia turned a scrappy start-up into one of the most successful businesses of all time, 

worth over $70 billion today. Full of fascinating characters and anecdotes about Silcon 

Valley’s biggest titans, The Founders also shows how its founders continue to shape our 

future today. 

Brazen 

by Julia Haart 

From the star of Netflix’s My Unorthodox Life comes a riveting, inspiring memoir. Julia Haart 

tells the story of her extraordinary journey, from leaving an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community 

to becoming one of the most influential people in fashion. Ever since she was a child, every 

aspect of Julia Haart’s life - what she wore, what she ate, what she thought - was controlled 

by the orders of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. At nineteen, after a lifetime spent caring for her 

seven younger siblings, she was married off to a man she barely knew. For the next twentyfour 

years, he would rule her life. Eventually, when her youngest daughter, Miriam, started 

to question why she wasn’t allowed to sing, run or ride a bike, Julia reached her breaking

Theatre group’s show hopefully not its last 

• From page 1 

The group moved into 

the building after the old 

building at the same address 

was demolished following the 

earthquake. 

The group uses the income 

from tickets to cover rental costs 

but with cancelled shows and 

fewer tickets being purchased, 

this was becoming more 

difficult. 

“We’re running on bare 

bones . . . basically our costs are 

increasing and we’ve had a year 

of no income and a year last year 

of marginal income,” Mankelow 

said. 

“People have changed the way 

they socialise . . . some people 

are quite reluctant to be in 

large groups still in a crowded 

situation.” 

Mankelow said the old 

building was used only by the 

theatre group so had changing 

rooms and space for storage, 

however the new facility is 

designed for wider community 

use. 

This means the group has to 

pay $10,000 a year to hire storage 

units for costumes and props. 

“I’m now questioning whether 

we keep our costumes because 

$10,000 a year is most of our 

income, if we’re even doing a full 

season, so it just doesn’t add up 

anymore,” Mankelow said. 

She said the current building 

also has leaking issues, with 

the recent flooding seeing half 

a metre of water sitting in the 

lift shaft and getting into the 

electrics. 

On top of this, the group’s 

technical team were all hit with 

Covid two weeks before the 

show. However, they are back 

working on the final touches 

before tomorrow night’s first 

show. 

Mankelow said it would be 

devastating to see the group stop 

operating but at the rate things 

were going, it was a possibility. 

“We are hanging on by a 

thread,” she said. 

“We might not be the greatest 

actors, singers and dancers in the 

world, but we get so much out 

of it.”

From swimming lessons to instructor 

IN 2002, a five-year-old Nick 

Weir jumped into the pool at 

Pioneer Recreation and Sport 

Centre for one of the first ever 

Swimsmart lessons. 

Now marking the 20 years of 

the city council programme, 

Weir has gone from pupil to 

teacher as the swim education 

team leader at Te Pou Toetoe: 

Linwood Pool. 

“I remember it was such a fun 

environment when I was a kid. 

The mix of learning a valuable 

skill but not really realising it 

because it was so much fun,” he 

said. 

From five to 14-years-old, 

Weir was part of the Swimsmart 

programme and two years 

later he got his first job as an 

instructor. 

“I’ve navigated my way 

through the ocean that is swim 

education, first and foremost 

being a swimmer, becoming an 

instructor, supervisor and then 

most recently becoming the 

team leader at Te Pou Toetoe,” 

Weir said. 

“I was definitely inspired by 

my years taking part in lessons. 

The more kids enjoy swimming 

lessons, the more they learn and 

that was the case for me.” 

In his current role he likes 

having the opportunity to teach 

and pass on the knowledge that 

I’ve acquired to new instructors. 

“Giving them the necessary 

skills to continue to teach our 

rangatahi and to continue give 

back to the community an 

essential life skill. My passion is 

helping people and if I can do so 

by continuing to help keep our 

tamariki safe in the water that to 

me is a job well done,” he said. 

“The Swimsmart programme 

has a focus on learning how to 

be safe in and around the water. 

If we can help kids become 

confident and help prevent 

drownings that is what’s most 

important.” 

But even now he never misses 

an opportunity to pop his togs 

on and jump in the pool to help 

teach the odd lesson. 

“This job is something that 

I absolutely love and have 

loved watching children and 

adults grow in their confidence 

and ability over the years,” he 

said.

Sumner ‘gutted’ by loss in trophy final 

TOO LATE: Sumner fullback Jack Forrest scoring a try in 

the second half. Above – Sumner gracious in defeat. 

• By Fin Ocheduszko Brown 

SUMNER COLTS’ loss on 

Saturday – their first since April 

2021 – denied them a third 

consecutive Metropolitan Colts 

trophy. 

The 26-22 loss came at the 

hands of last year’s runners-up, 

Marist Albion, who were eager to 

seek revenge. 

Sumner’s halfback Jack Rule 

said the team was “gutted, 

obviously . . . the boys are 

hurting”. 

Sumner made a strong start 

with Will Chunn capitalising 

on a kick inside the opening 

five minutes, scoring in the far 

corner. The try would end up 

being Sumner’s only points in 

the first half. 

Meanwhile, Marist Albion 

piled on a flurry of points, 

slotting a penalty and two 

converted tries to lead 17-5 at the 

break. 

Rule said Sumner came out 

“fizzing” in the second half, 

displaying a valiant performance 

right out the blocks. A try 

and conversion from first-five 

Terrence Graham kick-started 

the momentum. A textbook 

goose-step allowed him to evade 

the defender – copping a headhigh 

shot in the process – but 

diving over nevertheless. 

The second part of the half 

also came courtesy of Graham. 

He again displayed rapid speed 

to steer clear of the opposing 

defender and burrow over. 

However, ill-discipline 

kept Marist Albion ahead on 

the scoreboard, kicking two 

penalties to stretch their lead to 

23-17 with just eight minutes to 

go. 

Quick thinking down the 

blindside from replacement 

halfback Louis Gunn set fullback 

Jack Forrest to streak away into 

the far corner for Sumner. The 

kick was unconverted, before 

Marist Albion capped off their 

win with a penalty towards the 

final whistle to take the game 

26-22. 

In spite of the loss, Sumner’s 

focus is turning to next season 

where Rule expects the team to 

continue to flourish. 

“We’ve got so much talent 

coming through, next year 

they’re going to be hurting but 

they’re going to go again.” 

Many of the current team will 

likely be pushing for division 

one places after showcasing their 

ability throughout the season. 

Contrastingly, a large core 

of the group will remain in the 

Colts side and guide the new 

players coming through as they 

strive to make amends.

Workplace issues are this 

lawyer’s specialty 

Abi Borrows is Saunders & Co’s workplace 

law specialist. She works with both employers 

and employees, and is happy to have an initial, 

obligation-free discussion on any aspect of 

workplace law that may require her expert assistance. 

Originally from Taranaki, Abi moved to 

Christchurch 15 years ago, initially working in the 

insurance industry. 

“I worked for an insurance broker as an advocate 

helping clients settle their insurance claims and 

I enjoyed that. It was following the earthquakes, 

and when that work dried up, I decided to do a law 

degree, which would enable me to continue helping 

people deal with difficult situations.” 

Abi says that while her previous experience 

didn’t involve employment matters, the approach 

to finding solutions, from both a practical and legal 

perspective, is very much the same as it was in her 

insurance advocacy work. 

“The work I did with insurance, working with 

clients, was similar to employment law, so that was 

what led to the role I have at Saunders. It’s a good fit 

for me.” 

Her clients include companies seeking legal advice 

on matters such as employment issues, disciplinary 

processes and company restructuring, and employees 

that need help with any issues concerning their 

workplace situation. 

“It can become very emotional, and I work with 

people to find the best solution,” Abi says. 

“I also advise clients when employment contracts 

are being reviewed, which involves being up to date 

with current regulations, especially at the present 

time with the Covid landscape. For employers, I talk 

to them about areas of risk and ways they can do 

things better.” 

As she says, “It’s a very varied role.” 

Abi is based at Saunders & Co’s main city office, 

so as part of a wider litigation team she has access 

to a plethora of expertise and feels very well 

supported. 

“I also like assisting our clients from all our 

branch offices, including Ferrymead – I enjoy 

the close-knit environment there.” 

She says clients living in the local area can 

make an appointment with her either at the 

Ferrymead or city office. 

Abi lives in Monck’s Bay, and away from 

work she enjoys cooking, yoga, and golf. 

“My partner and I also like entertaining 

friends at home. We love living in this area 

and I also feel very fortunate being able to 

work as a lawyer helping people when they 

need it.”

Treasures from the past: 

Dazzle ships of Lyttelton 

DURING WORLD War 1 

the German Kaiser’s Imperial 

U-boat submarine fleet wreaked 

havoc amongst Britain’s 

Merchant Navy. 

By late 1917 the Admiralty was 

desperate to find a technological 

countermeasure, so the science 

boffins at the Merchant 

Navy’s new ‘Dazzle Section’ 

led by marine artist Norman 

Wilkinson, came up with a 

literally dazzling idea. 

Dazzle camouflage was 

designed to confuse the 

visible form of a ship from the 

perspective of a periscope, with 

the initial model working so well 

on former Royal Navy sailor 

King George V that he gave it his 

full seal of approval, and thus the 

dazzle ships were born. 

The application of dazzle 

camouflage proved something 

of a success and was at least very 

popular with the crews of dazzle 

ships. 

Rather than making a ship 

at sea invisible, this form of 

camouflage was designed to do 

the complete opposite in order 

to make the task of plotting a 

torpedoe’s path and speed much 

more difficult for the German 

U-boat gunners. 

The intersecting lines with 

varied colours and shading could 

include fake bow waves, inverted 

shadows and many other 

perspectival tricks to make it 

difficult to judge a ship’s identity, 

size, speed and direction of travel 

when viewed against the sea and 

sky, and in all weather. 

Numerous dazzle ships made 

Lyttelton their port of call, one 

such being the SS War Opal. 

Commissioned for the United 

Kingdom government’s standard 

cargo ship programme in World 

War 1 she was one of the last 

dazzle ships built towards the 

end of 1918. 

Designed for speed and 

displacing 6690 gross tons she 

cut a menacing figure with her 

six Samson posts painted war 

grey that when lowered into 

cradles appeared to be 12-inch 

deck guns. 

Fitted with watertight

compartments she was thought 

to be torpedo proof and near 

unsinkable. 

On New Year’s Day 1920, still 

in full dazzle camouflage, she 

visited the port of Lyttelton and 

was a key attraction for that 

year’s regatta with the Lyttelton 

Marine Band playing on 

Gladstone Quay, and a torchlight 

procession in the evening 

held under the auspices of the 

Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade. 

Sold to the British India 

Steam Navigation Co in 

1919 and then renamed the 

Hatimura, by the outbreak of 

World War 2 she was sailing the 

dangerous trans-Atlantic routes 

and again braving the German 

U-boats. 

In November 1942 as part 

of convoy SC-107 out of New 

York bound for the UK, she was 

carrying a cargo that included 

200 tons of TNT, 250 tons of 

gunpowder and 300 tons of 

incendiary bombs. The convoy 

was attacked by the Nazi U-boat 

wolfpack Veilchen with 18 

submarines sinking 15 ships in 

one of the costliest Allied losses 

of the war. 

A straggler, the former War 

Opal was torpedoed and lost 

propulsion with the crew 

abandoning the still floating 

ship. U-442 came around for 

the coup de grâce with U-132 

standing off. 

The final torpedo detonated 

the ship’s deadly cargo which 

erupted in one of the largest nonnuclear 

explosions recorded in 

World War 22, the gigantic blast 

destroying U-132 which sank 

with all hands lost.

Get adventurous in a RAV4 hybrid 

IF EVER THERE was indication 

of the direction the automotive 

world is heading in terms of 

electrification, it has to be the 

decision of one of my good 

friends. 

You see, he’s long been a Holden 

owner, and while he still owns 

a classic Brougham, he has just 

sold his pride and joy – a 2017 

Walkinshaw Commodore SSV – a 

car claimed to be Holden’s most 

powerful. 

Not only did that surprise me, 

but his big V8 has been replaced by 

a Tesla and a Toyota RAV4 hybrid. 

I know my friend is sorry to see 

the Holden go, but he says that 

with changing times and being 

in the professional field he felt 

he needed to set an example and 

drive something less taxing on the 

environment. 

Now, I’m not knocking his 

choice of new transport and, as it 

turns out, the RAV4 hybrid is on a 

shortlist of models my wife and I 

are considering as we contemplate 

the purchase of a new car. But the 

point I’m making is that the buying 

public is well aware electric vehicles 

and hybrids are taking control of 

the new car market. Toyota claims 

the RAV4 hybrid as one of its best 

selling models, often selling second 

to Hilux on a month by month 

basis. 

Bear in mind too, that you don’t 

have to buy the RAV4 with Toyota’s 

hybrid synergy drive system, 

conventional driveline variants are 

included. 

The RAV4 hybrid line-up has just 

been extended. Two new models 

have been added – Adventure 

and XSE. Just like its non-hybrid 

stablemate, the Adventure gets a 

body kit and interior treatment that 

makes it stand out markedly from 

the rest of the range. If you like 

bold and brash it is the car for you, 

large fenders, aggressive bumper 

and grille, and big wheels are there 

to tempt. Inside, there is also bright 

orange detailing. 

The Adventure is in the line-up 

as a point of difference, and after a 

week in the car I can certainly see 

its appeal, it looks a little bit rugged 

and it has appeal in that way. It is 

also the model that my friend now 

owns. 

I also genuinely believe the 

Adventure model could be used as 

a vehicle that would take you offroad 

and into the backblocks. You 

see, the RAV4 has had a fairly good 

reputation for cross-country work 

and just because it is a hybrid that 

doesn’t change anything. The fourwheel-drive 

network, along with a 

slight suspension elevation, is such 

that it will cope well with a bit of a 

pounding on those gnarly tracks. 

More importantly, I suspect it 

will be the model of choice if you 

are a winter sport enthusiast, I can 

see many sitting in the Mt Hutt ski 

field car park. 

There are no surprises under 

RUGGED LOOKS: The RAV4 Adventure has aggressive 

styling to go along with its off-road capability. 

TOYOTA RAV4 ADVENTURE: Choice of conventional or hybrid driveline. 

• Price – Toyota RAV4 

Adventure hybrid, $57,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4610mm; width, 1855mm; 

height, 1690mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2487cc, 131kW, 221Nm, 

continuously variable 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.1sec 

• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km 

the bonnet, Toyota’s 2.5-litre 

hybrid system is well proven and 

has become an established part 

of the fuel-saving drivelines that 

are now so important in a vehicle. 

Without delving too deep into the 

intricacies of the system it works 

simply like this – the four-cylinder 

petrol engine drives much like 

conventional power; however, it 

also charges the batteries that, in 

turn, power an electric motor that 

works in tandem with the engine 

to supply drive through a continuously 

variable transmission. The 

whole system cycles constantly, the 

benefit being less of a load on the 

engine and, consequently, lower 

fuel usage. 

The RAV4 as a series has a fairly 

respectable fuel usage figure, the 

non-hybrid claimed to return 

6.7-litres per 100km. All hybrids 

are listed at 5.3l/100km, which, by 

my reckoning, is a fairly healthy 

figure and quite achievable. The 

fuel usage readout was sitting constantly 

at a respectable 6.5l/100km 

during the 280km I drove in the 

evaluation model. At 100km/h on 

the open road the instantaneous 

figure is around a thrifty 4l/100km. 

I didn’t venture off-road during 

my time in the evaluation car, the 

weather was filthy across the plains 

and I don’t like returning media 

evaluation cars untidy. However, I 

can report that it is a fabulous open 

road tourer. It sits tightly and quietly 

on the road, and when those 

long Canterbury straights run out 

and tight corners present themselves 

the RAV4 steers directly into 

a bend and the complexity of the 

suspension quickly sits composed 

and controls body movement. 

I mentioned big wheels before, 

the Adventure model gets Yokohama 

tyres at 235/55 x 19in. They 

are a new compound to me but 

they equip themselves well with 

solid feedback towards the steering 

wheel and quiet coarse chip seal 

movement. 

All factors considered, the RAV4 

hybrid is a comfortable touring 

car, well it’s a comfortable car at all 

speeds and circumstances, and I 

guess with its $57,990 figure for the 

Adventure model it is stretching towards 

the luxury car market. Bear 

in mind, though, the RAV4 range 

starts at $38,990, the hybrid models 

starting at $46,990. All RAV4 

hybrids are eligible for a Clean 

Car Programme rebate of over 

$2000, the Adventure amounting to 

$2335.69. 

If you want all the bells and whistles 

along with in-your-face adornments, 

then the Adventure is there 

for those who like to be seen, or 

who like bold colours and designs. 

In terms of fitment, it is a model 

that wants for nothing, although I 

could do without the video screen 

that acts as the interior rear view 

mirror, I found it confused my 

senses a little. Other than that, the 

RAV4 is laid out with ease of use 

and it has an intuitive layout. 

Toyota has made good use of 

the RAV4’s generous proportions, 

there are a host of storage pockets 

and cubby holes that will easily 

take care of those loose items that 

we generally travel with, including 

a tray for your mobile phone that 

will charge it as you drive. 

While I’ve long considered 

the 2.5-litre Toyota driveline as 

being the best hybrid system in 

the market, so must many others, 

delivery of a new RAV4 hybrid is 

pushed out to around 12 months. 

How that affects the decision my 

wife and I are making hasn’t quite 

yet come into focus, but I’m sure 

if we do head in that direction the 

RAV4 would be well worth the 

wait.

74A MONCKS SPUR ROAD | REDCLIFFS 

37 PORT HILLS ROAD | HOME IN HEATHCOTE VALLEY 

It's a wonderful feeling inspecting a HOME which presents well, leaving you more 

time to imagine what your life would be like living there, rather than what you 

need to fix before moving in. 

The HOME itself has oodles of character and charm: the perfect HOME to raise a 

family for years to come, ideal for those who adore character homes. 

3 BED 1 BATH 1 CAR 

586 M2 

(MORE OR LESS) 

Then there are the bedrooms. All rooms are quite capable of fitting king-sized 

beds and the high ceilings make you feel like you have an abundance of space. 

Greeted by an oversized door which then opens into a large entranceway, the 

immediate feeling of space creates an inviting feeling. The kitchen, dining, and 

main living space are filled with natural light, and the open-plan nature of the 

HOME emphasizes the functional floor plan. With all the hard work completed, 

you can start to appreciate this wonderful HOME. 

For the keen gardener, there is enough yard to satisfy your green thumb, install 

a vegetable patch or keep some chooks. 

Location wise could not get much better. You have the sought-after local school 

and pre-school all minutes away. You are only 6 minutes from Lyttelton, and due 

to the main ring roads, you are only 10 minutes away from the CBD. You also have 

local conveniences a short stroll away and some of Christchurch's best walking 

and biking tracks on your doorstep.

AUCTION: 12PM, 20 AUGUST 2022 ONSITE (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR) 

With a 30 year tenure in place, our owner has made this house into a 

HOME. The combined warmth of love and mid century construction ensures 

5 Jed Lane is going to pull at the heart strings for everyone. 

Situated on 926m2 prime St Albans land, this is the perfect opportunity to 

secure a foothold in a much sought after location. The close proximity to 

Merivale shops and eateries add to the easy lifestyle this HOME has to 

offer. 

The main living and dining face North West flow into the outdoor area, 

creating the perfect platform for entertaining guests. The fluid layout of 

the kitchen, living and dining makes family living an absolute breeze. With 

exposed brick features adding a touch of class to the HOME, the addition 

of a mud room/laundry, a beautiful private and tranquil garden setting 

which includes an organic kitchen garden, all make this a special property 

indeed. 


926 M2 

(MORE OR LESS) 

Three spacious bedrooms complete the HOME and give each family 

member their very own space. For large families the double garage and offstreet 

parking in a quiet lane is perfect for storing extra vehicles or the kids 

wanting to play ball in the safety of their own driveway. Zoned for Paparoa 

Street Primary, Heaton Intermediate and close to a number of private 

schools.
