SailGP racing to<br />
stop if dolphins<br />
spotted<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
SAILGP RACE organisers will<br />
now rely on sighting hector’s<br />
dolphins to keep them safe<br />
during next month’s racing on<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
A decision not to use a<br />
deterrent device means the<br />
mammals will now be free<br />
to swim where they like, and<br />
racing will be called off if they<br />
are seen or heard anywhere near<br />
the racecourse and high speed<br />
catamarans.<br />
Organisers are employing<br />
several detection strategies<br />
focusing on four zones in<br />
the harbour, stretching from<br />
the harbour mouth to the<br />
racecourse.<br />
The SailGP Marine Mammal<br />
Management Plan states if<br />
dolphins are detected in zone<br />
four,<br />
the<br />
nearest<br />
zone to the<br />
racecourse,<br />
the boats will be ordered to<br />
stop.<br />

Water grading assessment rethink likely<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
A NEW approach by<br />
Environment Canterbury as to<br />
how long-term water quality<br />
grades are assigned at swim sites<br />
around Lyttelton seems likely,<br />
after it has agreed to change the<br />
way it models sites for swimming<br />
suitability.<br />
ECan science<br />
team leader Shirley<br />
Hayward said it is<br />
possible predictive<br />
modelling might<br />
also change the way<br />
Shirley<br />
Hayward<br />
long-term swim<br />
grades for the bays<br />
are assessed, to take<br />
into account predictable rainfall-driven<br />
contamination.<br />
It comes after considerable<br />
public pressure over how ECan<br />
grades swimming sites longterm,<br />
particularly at popular<br />
sites like Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> and Cass<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> was graded<br />
“unsuitable for swimming”<br />
for the entire summer because<br />
of high bacteria readings over<br />
the past five years – many of<br />
those readings coinciding with<br />
high rainfall. However, testing<br />
through January this year<br />
showed the water quality was<br />
good to excellent.<br />
In a report due to be presented<br />
to ECan’s water and land<br />
committee today, science team<br />
leader Shirley Hayward said “in<br />
response to concerns raised by<br />
the community this summer, we<br />
will investigate a new approach<br />
whereby rainfall-affected results<br />
can be predicted”.<br />
“We will look at new ways to<br />
communicate the public health<br />
risks adequately to the community,”<br />
Hayward said.<br />
This will include consistent<br />
messaging, including signage, of<br />
those risks.<br />
Staff will also continue with<br />
faecal source tracking and other<br />
investigations to try to find<br />
out why sites have degraded,<br />
Hayward said.<br />
The suggested change in<br />
approach will rely on other organisations,<br />
such as Community<br />
and Public Health Te Mana Ora<br />
agreeing, she said.<br />
The grading issue came into<br />
focus again last Wednesday<br />
when 21mm of rain fell around<br />
the Port Hills, washing faecal<br />
bacteria into the sea.<br />
Te Mana Ora immediately<br />
issued a health warning for most<br />
of Banks Peninsula, which was<br />
lifted on Monday.<br />

Rakiura<br />
The wild landscapes of Stewart Island by<br />
Rob Brown<br />
Stewart Island/Rakiura is an island that is increasingly cherished<br />
by New Zealanders, whose appreciation for its wild character<br />
has flourished in recent years. This revised edition of Rakiura, the<br />
work of leading landscape photographer Rob Brown, was first<br />
published in 2006. Critically acclaimed at the time, his original<br />
large-format photographs remain as powerful as ever, while more<br />
recent photographs have been added along with an updated, and<br />
newly illustrated introduction, which covers the natural and human<br />
history of the island, and the inspiring efforts to restore the island’s<br />
wildlife. This book is a stunning momento for visitors and everyone<br />
interested in Rakiura.<br />

Tails of Tangleby Gardens<br />
by Sue Heazlewood, illustrated by Jane Smith<br />
What a delight for families with children! Tails of Tangleby Gardens combines a<br />
whimsical story with 40 recipes suitable for children to make.<br />
We follow the story of two newly married rabbits, Montgomery and Marmalade,<br />
who have to escape their cosy warren in Christchurch when it is demolished by<br />
a big yellow digger. They are forced to move from the city and start a new life<br />
elsewhere. Along the way, they encounter friends and many adventures, and in<br />
every part of the story, Marmalade shares her recipes..<br />
Tails of Tangleby Gardens is a unique and enchanting book. The story has a gentle,<br />
magical quality, and the recipes are graded from very easy, to easy, to some skill<br />
required, so suitable for young cooks of different abilities. There is even a QR code<br />
that can be downloaded, but I actually like the idea of the book being used in the<br />
kitchen, even if it does end up with a bit of food on it!<br />

Wilson Sisters Adventures: Shyla, the<br />
Snowy Brumby<br />
by Kelly Wilson & Nina Sutherland<br />
A brand new equestrian series for fans of the bestselling Showtym Adventures!<br />
Can Nina help the Wilson sisters tame a wild Brumby into a child’s dream pony?<br />
All ten-year-old Nina has ever dreamed of is working with ponies. When the renowned<br />
horsewoman Kelly Wilson invites her to help tame a wild pony for the Australian<br />
Brumby Challenge, Nina has to pinch herself to believe it. She and Shyla swiftly form<br />
a close bond, but all the time Nina knows that the little Brumby is destined for auction,<br />
and the dream pony she has worked so hard to train will go to another child.<br />
Nina’s wild pony adventure will take her to Australia’s Snowy Mountains and back —<br />
but will she get the chance to have a wild Brumby of her own?<br />
From the author of the bestselling Showtym Adventures, this novel is inspired by the<br />
Wilson sisters’ exciting true experiences with wild horses.<br />
Birnam Wood<br />
by Eleanor Catton<br />
Birnam Wood is on the move ... A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in the<br />
South Island of New Zealand, cutting off the town of Thorndike, leaving a sizable farm<br />
abandoned. This land offers an opportunity to Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening<br />
collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. But they hadn’t figured on the<br />
enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the place.<br />
Can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each<br />
other? A gripping thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries,<br />
Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. A<br />
brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences, it is an unflinching<br />
examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.<br />
China After Mao - The Rise of a<br />
Superpower<br />
By Frank Dikoetter<br />
‘A leading historian of modern China. He is a rare scholar, adept in both Russian and<br />
Chinese . . . Combined with this linguistic skill, Dikoetter has a writer’s gift’ EVENING<br />
STANDARD From the Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author of Mao’s Great Famine, a<br />
timely and compelling account of China in the wake of Chairman Mao In China After<br />
Mao, award-winning historian Frank Dikoetter explores how the People’s Republic<br />
of China was transformed from a backwater economy in the 1970s into the world<br />
superpower of today. His account is the first to be based on hundreds of previously<br />
unseen archival documents, from the secret minutes of top party meetings to confidential<br />
bank reports. Unfolding with great narrative sweep, this riveting, richly detailed chronicle<br />
recasts our understanding of an era that both the regime and foreign admirers celebrate<br />
as an economic miracle. Ultimately, the book concludes, the communist party’s goal<br />
was never to join the democratic sphere, but to resist it - and then defeat it.<br />

• By Tony Simons<br />
While much of the events industry was shut<br />
down through the peak of the Covid-19<br />
pandemic the Sea2Sky Challenge managed<br />
to navigate through the guidelines better<br />
than most holding events in late 2020 along<br />
with 2021 and 20<strong>22</strong>. The event returns on<br />
March 12th for the eighth edition without<br />
the restrictions of the last few years. With<br />
individual and team triathlon, duathlon and<br />
trail run options for juniors (5 years and up)<br />
through to Masters of 80+ years there is<br />
something for everyone. “In the last few years<br />
we’ve had to split the event into groups of<br />
100, tell spectators to stay away, mask up<br />
along with other measures. It’s going to be<br />
awesome to welcome everyone back this<br />
year to finish the kiwi summer in style” says<br />
event director John Newsom.<br />
SUMNER SCHOOL pupils from<br />
the 1960s reunited on Saturday<br />
thanks to the efforts of a former<br />
student.<br />
Kathryn Perks, who now lives<br />
in Hawke’s <strong>Bay</strong>, used to attend<br />
the school, and after visiting her<br />
old stomping grounds last year<br />
was inspired to organise a reunion<br />
for her former classmates.<br />
“I looked at old class photos<br />
from 1962 to 1968, then tried<br />
to contact as many as I could<br />
through social media and Google.<br />
I even tried the White Pages,”<br />
she said.<br />
Some proved impossible to<br />
find because their names had<br />
changed but, in the end, she<br />
tracked down 28 – and 19 of<br />

sent messages, memories and<br />

share,” she said.<br />
The Beach was a fitting venue<br />
for the reunion. “I remember<br />
it used to be the Sumner tearooms,”<br />
said Perks. “It’s one of<br />
the few landmark buildings still<br />
standing in the village so it had<br />
special significance for all of us.<br />
I remember swimming underneath<br />
it as a child,” she said.<br />
There were different memories<br />
of their teacher at the time, Mr<br />
Sharpe. He was strict but an<br />
excellent teacher and several said<br />
how amazing he was, said Perks.<br />
Others in the group remembered<br />
their student teacher at the time,<br />
John van Uden, who lives in the<br />
area and met up with them all<br />
after the lunch.<br />

Measures in place to locate dolphins<br />
•From page 1<br />
Once racing has stopped, a<br />
SailGP spokesperson said the<br />
yachts “will simply wait until (the<br />
dolphins) leave”.<br />
In zones one or two, dolphins<br />
will be reported and tracked. If<br />
they are in zone three, racing will<br />
be delayed.<br />
SailGP is experienced with the<br />
issues and understands the risk,<br />
the spokesperson said.<br />
A key detection strategy will<br />
include trained dolphin observers<br />
and volunteers, stationed along<br />
both sides of the harbour and in<br />
boats, looking out for dolphins.<br />
Experts say they may locate some<br />
of the dolphins but not all of<br />
them due to difficulty seeing the<br />
mammals at any distance, particularly<br />
if the water is choppy.<br />
A second detection measure<br />

Underwater acoustic expert<br />
Dr Matt Pine was consulted on<br />
the MMMP and has now been<br />
employed to do the listening.<br />
He said the devices can pick up<br />
dolphins pinging, or echo-locating,<br />
up to a few hundred metres<br />
away, depending on how noisy<br />
they are.<br />
“We expect in murky waters<br />
like Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> and in<br />
busy environments, they will be<br />
echo-locating most of the time,”<br />
Pine said.<br />
However, dolphin expert<br />
Professor Liz Slooten, formerly<br />
with the Zoology Department at<br />
Otago University, disagreed.<br />
“He (Pine) is wrong,” she said.<br />
“When there is lots of noise it<br />
makes more sense for a dolphin<br />
to listen using its ears, because<br />
sound carries much further than<br />
echo-location. The dolphins may<br />
simply turn their echo-location<br />
off,” she said.<br />
SailGP and ChristchurchNZ<br />
will also be relying on spectators<br />
PLAN: The zone boundaries<br />

shows where observers will<br />
be looking and listening for<br />
dolphins (pale green areas),<br />

and race officials to report<br />

SailGP head of event and<br />

“Based on the<br />
advice of (the<br />

experts, we<br />
maintain full<br />

If an<br />

NEWS<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
A MEMBER of the team that<br />
came up with a plan to protect<br />
hector’s dolphins during next<br />
month’s SailGP has revealed they<br />
wrestled with their conscience<br />
and considered resigning from<br />
the group.<br />
Many experts and stakeholders<br />
were consulted over the Marine<br />
Mammal Management Plan,<br />
including Te Hapū o Ngāti<br />
Wheke Rāpaki, the Department<br />
of Conservation, Environment<br />
Canterbury and university<br />
marine specialists.<br />
One expert has now told <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News they seriously<br />
considered opting out, in part<br />
because they were required to<br />
sign a confidentiality agreement.<br />
The expert said they had a real<br />
problem with being gagged,<br />
given the plan to hold the event<br />
in a dolphin sanctuary was so<br />
much in the public interest.<br />
Once it was clear the SailGP<br />
event was going ahead, members<br />
of the group had to decide<br />
whether they were in or out, the<br />
expert said.<br />
“Sometimes it is better to stay<br />
in so you have some influence, so<br />
I stayed in.”<br />
Significant redactions were<br />
made to the plan before it was<br />
released by ChristchurchNZ in<br />
December last year.<br />
An un-redacted version was<br />
leaked to <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
last week. It showed SailGP<br />
organisers intended to use a<br />
controversial acoustic deterrent<br />
device to keep dolphins off the<br />
racecourse. Organisers believed<br />
the device would “help to protect<br />
dolphins from the risk of vessel<br />
strike, which is very likely to be<br />
fatal”. However, the device was<br />
later dropped when it became<br />
clear no one knew how hector’s<br />
dolphins might react to it.<br />
When ChristchurchNZ<br />
announced in early 2021 the<br />
international sailing event was<br />
coming to Lyttelton, it was<br />
described as a massive coup.<br />

Expert considered resigning over SailGP plan<br />
New Zealand team member<br />
Peter Burling said at the time<br />
“we can’t wait to start racing<br />
and sharing our Live Ocean<br />
conservation message along the<br />
way”.<br />
Work started on the<br />
MMMP soon after.<br />
Said the expert: “I think<br />
the final version of the<br />
MMMP is probably not<br />
far from the best you can<br />
do, if you’ve already made<br />
a very bad decision to hold<br />
the race in a completely<br />
inappropriate place.”<br />
Dolphin researcher,<br />
retired Otago Professor of<br />
Liz Slooten<br />
Zoology, Liz Slooten, said there<br />
are likely to be up to 30 dolphins<br />
in the harbour every day in<br />
March. Many will have calves<br />
with them, so they will be slower<br />
and reluctant to dive deep.<br />
The F50 catamarans will<br />
also be practising at high<br />
speeds in the day or days<br />
preceding the event. The<br />
expert said this is where<br />
the real danger to dolphins<br />
lies, because the MMMP<br />
designates ‘free practice’<br />
areas across most of the<br />
harbour.<br />
SailGP organisers did<br />
not respond to a request by <strong>Bay</strong><br />
PLAN: One of the<br />
two hydrophones (AI<br />
programmed acoustic<br />
listening devices)<br />
that will be moored<br />
in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
to listen for dolphins<br />
during SailGP racing.<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News, asking what<br />
specific measures would be taken<br />
to protect dolphins during the<br />
practice sessions.<br />
Slooten said hector’s dolphins<br />
have never interacted with these<br />
types of high speed vessels<br />
before.<br />
“Two huge blades silently<br />
slicing through the water at 100<br />
km/h; the dolphins will never<br />
have experienced anything like<br />
this, the foils or the speeds with<br />
which they will be moving. (It’s)<br />
a similar experience to a remote<br />
rainforest civilisation seeing a<br />
warplane flying over their village<br />
for the first time,” she said.<br />

DOMINANT: Taylor Chamberlain (left) was awarded top<br />
overall open male competitor, winning 10 events, while Lucy<br />
Stroud helped Taylors Mistake to seven team event wins.<br />
Taylor’s winning streak continues<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
TAYLOR Chamberlain has<br />
taken out another surf life saving<br />
title, this time at the southern<br />
region championships over the<br />
weekend.<br />
The 20-year-old helped Taylors<br />
Mistake finish second on the<br />
overall club points table with<br />
500, behind winners South<br />
Brighton (783) and ahead of<br />
third-placed Sumner (150).<br />
Chamberlain won 10 events<br />
over two days of competition at<br />
New Brighton beach, finishing<br />
as the top overall open male<br />
competitor.<br />
He won the ski race, run swim<br />
run, board race, surf race, and<br />
iron events in the open category.<br />
He was also a key part of five<br />
team event wins.<br />
Lucy Stroud starred in several<br />
winning teams for Taylors Mistake,<br />
including the open female<br />
double ski event with Pieta Luthi<br />
and the open mixed double ski<br />
with Liam O’Loughlin, as well as<br />
five relay events.<br />
Sumner had a handful of<br />
event winners, including Carl<br />
Tresfield, who won the under-15<br />
beach flags and sprints, while<br />
Ben Isles won the under-19 run<br />
swim run and iron events.<br />
Surf Life Saving New<br />

March 9-12.<br />
“We had some really great conditions<br />
for an awesome weekend<br />
of competition at New Brighton,”<br />
Smith said.<br />
Both Taylors Mistake and<br />
Sumner will compete in<br />
the postponed Canterbury<br />
championships when it resumes<br />
with canoe racing on Friday<br />

TRAPPING predators –<br />
possums, rats, mice, stoats and<br />
ferrets – and planting natives<br />
are two steps we can all take to<br />
encourage native birdsong back<br />
to our communities.<br />
“Now is the time to set your<br />
traps,” said Predator Free Sumner<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s member Paul Cragg.<br />
“This is the prime breeding<br />
time as the weather is warm and<br />
there is plenty of food in your<br />
garden and compost heap. This<br />
means we have a lot of ‘naive’<br />
youngsters out there who will be<br />
curious about the traps, unlike<br />
the more mature trap-shy rats.<br />
“If we all become backyard<br />
trappers we can make a difference<br />
to the number of predators.<br />
Besides protecting native birds,<br />
rats and mice will be less likely<br />
to live in your walls and ceilings<br />
in winter, and eat your garden<br />
produce in summer.”<br />
Predator Free Sumner <strong>Bay</strong>s<br />
is one of several community<br />
groups under the auspices of<br />
Predator Free Port Hills. And,<br />
Predator Free Port Hills is part<br />
of the Summit Road Society;<br />
as the name suggests, it takes a<br />
leadership role in eliminating<br />
predators on the Port Hills.<br />
Founded by the late Jeremy<br />
Agar, the focus is backyard<br />
trapping in the urban fringe<br />
surrounding the Port Hills and<br />
Lyttelton harbour. It aims to<br />
HAVE A CHAT: Predator Free Port Hills are at the Mt Pleasant Farmers Market on the second<br />
Saturday of every month.<br />

have a trap in one of every five<br />
households.<br />
Predator Free Port Hills co-ordinator<br />
Marie Gray said it is a<br />
simple concept, so it’s easy for<br />
everyone to get involved.<br />
“We are at the Mt Pleasant<br />
markets on the second Saturday<br />
of the month providing advice<br />
and selling traps. We would love<br />
to welcome you to our stall, and<br />
to explain how you can help us<br />
achieve more birdsong in our<br />
community.<br />
“We also have community days<br />
where kids and their parents can<br />
come and make traps for their<br />
own gardens. Sign up online via<br />
www.predatorfreeporthills.org.<br />
nz”<br />
Cragg has been a keen backyard<br />
trapper for many years.<br />
“Close to 10 years ago Redcliffs<br />
resident John Cook held a meeting<br />
in Sumner to discuss trapping<br />
in the Upper Mahoe-nui<br />
and Jollies Bush areas, and it<br />
sparked my interest. Then Gabe<br />
Ross started up Predator Free<br />
Sumner <strong>Bay</strong>s in 2017. And the<br />
rest is history, as they say.”<br />
Said Cragg: “Whilst we don’t<br />
have accurate monitoring data,<br />
we know we are making a<br />
difference . . . So far, over 300<br />
households have signed up, and<br />
well over 1000 rats have been<br />
trapped between Taylors Mistake<br />
and Balmoral Hill.”<br />
He said if we all become<br />
backyard trappers, and plant<br />
native trees and shrubs, we can<br />
help bring about change in our<br />
communities.<br />
Tips for those new to<br />
trapping:<br />
· Set your trap along<br />
the fenceline, in areas<br />
with bush, or beside<br />
the compost<br />
· Set up the trap as a<br />
rat café for a few days<br />
i.e., bait but do not set<br />
the trap. If it is being<br />
cleared then the rats<br />
and mice are happy to<br />
feed there, so it’s time<br />
to set the bait<br />
· Trapped rodents<br />
can be buried in the<br />
garden, or placed in<br />
the red bin<br />
· If you have any<br />
questions, come and<br />
talk to Predator Free<br />
Port Hills at the Mt<br />
Pleasant market<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST<br />
The leprosy colony on Quail Island<br />
BETWEEN 1906 and 1927,<br />
Ōtamahua Quail Island in the<br />
middle of Whakaraupō Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> was host to the South<br />
Island’s only leprosy colony with<br />
14 men incarcerated there.<br />
Leprosy (or Hansen’s disease,<br />
after the Norwegian doctor who<br />
discovered its bacterial source<br />
in 1873) is a disease known to<br />
humankind for many thousands<br />
of years.<br />
Prior to advances in modern<br />
medicine it was widely misunderstood<br />
to be highly infectious,<br />
and in many cultures sufferers<br />
were ostracised. This was, in<br />
part, because it can result in<br />
disfiguring skin lesions and even<br />
loss of extremities due to injuries<br />
and infections. Infected people<br />
suffer nerve damage, a consequent<br />
lack of sensation, a decline<br />
in muscle strength, and some go<br />
blind. Public fear was exacerbated<br />
by racial prejudice.<br />
In early 20th century New<br />
Zealand, health authorities<br />
took a similar approach to<br />
other Western countries in the<br />
management of the disease by<br />
embracing isolation practices.<br />
In 1906, the first man diagnosed<br />
with leprosy in Ōtautahi<br />
Christchurch and held in isolation<br />
on the island was Will<br />
Vallane; although provided with<br />
meals by a matron resident on<br />
the island, he spent 18 months<br />
primarily alone with his eyesight<br />
and mobility failing. Initially<br />
housed in the barn-like old quarantine<br />
barracks, a purpose-built<br />
cottage was constructed a year<br />
after his arrival, more suitable<br />
for a sole occupant. In 1908, he<br />
was joined by a second sufferer<br />
and a third in 1909.<br />
More small cottages were built<br />
as the population continued to<br />
grow. Although the bay (now<br />
called Skiers <strong>Bay</strong>) could be<br />
delightful in summer, it lost the<br />
sun behind a ridge as early as<br />
2pm in winter.<br />
The men had regular visits<br />
from Lyttelton’s popular and<br />
compassionate Dr Upham,<br />
gardened and swam if health<br />
permitted, listened to the radio<br />
and kept pets (notably canaries,<br />
a parrot and the wild island rabbits,<br />
which they tamed). There<br />
were occasional church services,<br />
family visits and humanitarian<br />
delegations, with visitors keeping<br />
at least six feet away from the<br />
men; white picket fences surrounding<br />
the cottages marked<br />
the dividing line between the<br />
two groups. But their main<br />
support was each other, although<br />
the tensions arising from their<br />
situation sometimes threatened<br />
that vital camaraderie.<br />
There is no doubt that the<br />
enforced isolation weighed upon<br />
the men, especially for those<br />
whose health was declining.<br />
A few men were released as<br />
cured; George Philips, who was<br />
declared free of the disease but<br />
required to wait 18 months for<br />
clearance before release, could<br />
not tolerate that extra time. He<br />
absconded via Moepuku Point,<br />
arriving at Orton Bradley’s<br />
house in Te Wharau Charteris<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> so convincingly dressed<br />
as a clergyman that he was<br />
able to make a telephone call<br />
and was last seen heading to<br />
Christchurch in a taxi cab, where<br />

he changed his name and disappeared<br />
from public scrutiny.<br />
There were two leprosy<br />
deaths on the island. The most<br />
well-known was a 25-year-old<br />
Samoan-born man, Ivon Crispen<br />
Skelton, who died on October<br />
20, 1923, and was buried on the<br />
headland facing Aua King Billy<br />
Island with Reverend A.J. Petrie<br />
of Holy Trinity presiding.<br />
Apparently forgotten by history,<br />
there was also 55-year-old<br />
Te Iringa from Kirikau Pā on the<br />
Whanganui River, whose death<br />
and burial in 19<strong>22</strong> were recorded<br />
in The Press at the time; Father<br />
Patrick Cooney of St Joseph’s<br />
Catholic Church conducted his<br />
service.<br />
Skelton’s grave was originally<br />
surrounded by a picket fence<br />
and was the subject of an<br />
archaeological dig in 2015.<br />
Surprisingly, no remains were<br />
found; it is postulated his grave<br />
near the cliff edge was washed<br />
away in a storm. His resting<br />
place is now commemorated by<br />
a simple wooden cross, though<br />
Te Iringa’s gravesite is not<br />

documented or marked.<br />
In 1925 the eight remaining<br />
men were moved to Makogai<br />
Island in Samoa, joining 300<br />
other sufferers and benefitting<br />
from a greater sense of<br />
community. Five of them were<br />
never to leave, including the<br />
original sole resident of Quail<br />
Island, Will Vallane. He died on<br />
Makogai in 1937 in his early 60s,<br />
having spent over 30 years in<br />
isolation.<br />
The tragedy of the long human<br />
history of leprosy is that it, in<br />
fact, has low pathogenicity with<br />
95 per cent of people exposed to<br />
the bacterium not going on to<br />
develop the condition.<br />
Advances in Western medicine<br />
in the 1940s mean that leprosy<br />
is curable if diagnosed early and<br />
treated with multidrug therapy.<br />
Nevertheless, it is still a serious<br />
disease in parts of the Americas,<br />
Africa and the Western Pacific,<br />
associated with poverty, lack of<br />
access to medical intervention<br />
and continuing misunderstanding.<br />
With the wisdom of hindsight,<br />
the Quail Island men could have<br />
been saved from two difficult<br />
decades of isolation.<br />

Start dreaming of driving electric<br />
BUILD YOUR Dreams –<br />
abbreviated to BYD, that’s the<br />
name for one of the newest<br />
entrants into New Zealand’s<br />
electric vehicle market.<br />
More specifically, the BYD Atto<br />
3 is the key model here for the<br />
all-electric Chinese car building<br />
company, and it’s a tidy, stylish<br />
sport utility vehicle that already<br />
I’m seeing in good numbers on<br />
our roads. If you are wondering<br />
where Atto comes from, it is<br />
inspired by the Attosecond –<br />
the smallest time scale unit in<br />
physics – and according to BYD<br />
it represents speed, energy and<br />
dynamics.<br />
The Atto 3 lands here in two<br />
model variants distinguished by<br />
their battery size. The extended<br />
range vehicle incorporates the<br />
larger of the lithium-ion battery<br />
capacities – a 60kWh unit<br />
– giving a 420km range and the<br />
standard battery unit – 50kWh –<br />
providing a range of 345km. Both<br />
models are driven by a single<br />
motor powering the front wheels,<br />
there is 150kW of power on tap<br />
with 310Nm of torque in both,<br />
offering a standstill to 100km/h<br />
time of 7.3sec.<br />
Prices start at $55,490 for the<br />
standard model, the extended<br />
range variant adds $4500. Those<br />
prices both easily qualify for the<br />
full New Zealand Government<br />
Clean Car Programme rebate of<br />
$8625.<br />
The Atto is a compact SUV,<br />
it measures just 4.45m but the<br />
designers have done a good job in<br />
making the interior comfortable<br />
and spacious considering. There’s<br />
also good load space at 440-litres<br />
which easily translates to a weekly<br />
family supermarket shop.<br />
Specification items are numerous,<br />
I can report that for its price<br />
there’s a good level of fitment. The<br />
evaluation car was the range-topper,<br />
but most of what is in that is<br />
also included in the entry-level<br />
model, it’s just the battery capacity<br />
that is different and, the colour<br />
choices vary from level to level.<br />
For those of you who like to see<br />
the stars when you’re travelling at<br />
night, the Atto 3 gets a full length<br />
panoramic roof, along with<br />
heated and electric seats, keyless<br />
entry and ignition, and electric<br />
tailgate just to mention a few of<br />
the major items. When you take<br />
into account the value you get for<br />
the money, it’s no wonder BYD<br />
is showing much appeal in this<br />
country.<br />
The interior is very space age.<br />
The design and trim elements are<br />
styled with ideas that I’ve never<br />
STYLE: The BYD Atto 3 is chock full of delightful surprises,<br />
including novel guitar-type strings on the inside of each door.<br />
BUILD YOUR DREAMS ATTO3: An electric vehicle that is becoming very popular downunder.<br />
seen before in any car. I particularly<br />
like the guitar strings that<br />
are fitted to the front doors, you<br />
can play music to the beat of the<br />
radio while sitting at the ever-increasing<br />
traffic light queues.<br />
Another design I like are the<br />
wheel-like door release mechanisms,<br />
they are functional yet also<br />
futuristic.<br />
There is also much depth within<br />
the display graphics and control<br />
functions. The touch screen<br />
dash panel sits centre console and<br />
looks very much like an enlarged<br />
iPad and works similarly, even<br />
though it is comprehensive I<br />
found it to be quite intuitive and<br />
user-friendly.<br />
Driving the Atto 3 requires little<br />
familiarity, just select drive (or<br />
reverse) on the selector and you<br />
are moving just like you would in<br />
any automatic car.<br />
It is quiet, of course, and for<br />
that reason it takes some time<br />
to get used to the whirr and the<br />
whine of the electronics instead<br />
of hearing the sound that you<br />
would normally get from an<br />
internal combustion engine.<br />
What’s more, it is quite quick, the<br />
initial launch off the line provides<br />
immediate acceleration and it<br />
takes no time at all before the<br />
legal speed limit is reached. The<br />
high torque output is also handy<br />
for the highway overtake, an 80<br />
• Price – BYD Atto3, $59,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4455mm; width, 1875mm;<br />
height, 1615mm<br />
• Configuration – Electrosynchronous<br />
motor,<br />
front-wheel-drive, 150kW,<br />
310Nm, one-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 7.3sec<br />
to 120km/h overtaking time of<br />
5.5sec means you are on the right<br />
hand side of the road for minimal<br />
time.<br />
I only had the evaluation car<br />
for three full days and that was<br />
during a working week, so I<br />
didn’t get to travel as far as I normally<br />
would, but I did head west<br />
towards Darfield and returned<br />
home through the winding back<br />
roads of Dunsandel, Burnham<br />
and Lincoln.<br />
It must be said the Atto 3 has<br />
a sublime ride. It is soft in the<br />
suspension offering huge levels<br />
of comfort. Given that there is<br />
little firming, it comes as some<br />
surprise that it has neutral<br />
handling characteristics. Sure,<br />
there’s a lot of energy heading out<br />
the front wheels, and on strong<br />
accelerator request you do feel<br />
a bit of tugging at the steering<br />
wheel when exiting a tight corner,<br />
but I’m pleased to say there is a<br />
fully independent suspension<br />
system and it is high class, having<br />
the ability to provide that smooth<br />
ride and predictable handling<br />
manners.<br />
I travelled 200km in the evaluation<br />
vehicle, when I picked it<br />
up there was 86 per cent charge<br />
on the battery capacity display<br />
offering a distance to empty of<br />
400km. It panned out so that<br />
plugging in for several hours<br />
each night meant I could keep<br />
the batteries well within a range<br />
that minimised anxiety, although<br />
at a short 4m the domestic cable<br />
is only just long enough to reach<br />
my garage plug.<br />
Of course, fast charging at a<br />
designated port will boost the<br />
batteries from 20 to 80 per cent in<br />
around 30min.<br />
It’s quite clear the direction the<br />
world is heading in terms of new<br />
vehicle sales, electric vehicles<br />
are in demand, but BYD in New<br />
Zealand says supply is relatively<br />
constant.<br />
A good friend of mine who<br />
lives in Australia has had a hefty<br />
deposit on an Atto 3 for six<br />
months and there’s still no sign of<br />
his car arriving, but every market<br />
is different and I’d like to think<br />
that any prospective buyer here<br />
will be satisfied with their buying<br />
experience.<br />

backdrop for a sunlit and airy living room.<br />
The adjoining wraparound kitchen with a<br />
breakfast bar provides plenty of space for the<br />
home chef to work their magic, and flows<br />
seamlessly to the dining area where French<br />
doors offer access out to the picturesque<br />

with a bathtub, ideal for a relaxing soak.<br />
Outside, the garden steals the show, with a lush<br />
lawn, a perfectly designed deck and patio, and<br />
a private, sunny aspect that is perfect for<br />
enjoying the warmer months and your outdoor<br />
entertaining. A heat pump and insulation<br />
underfloor and in the ceiling will also provide<br />
you with winter comfort. A standalone single<br />
garage provides storage and off-street parking<br />
options. Situated in this desirable locality with<br />
the coastal pathway, and Beachville Reserve a<br />
short stroll away, this is a home that entices<br />
its inhabitants to maximize the lifestyle living<br />
that Sumner and Redcliffs have on offer.<br />
In-zone for the sought-after Redcliffs School<br />
and with the cafes, bars, shops, and amenities<br />
of Redcliffs and Sumner Villages nearby.<br />
The current owner has cherished this property<br />
for two decades, but it's now time for her<br />
expanding family to find a new home,<br />
making this an excellent opportunity for<br />
someone seeking their first home or a<br />
downsizing option.<br />
This is an impeccable opportunity - don't<br />
miss it.<br />
