Amazing aurora over Birdlings Flat<br />
Photographer Matt<br />
Saunders was among<br />
snappers capturing<br />
the aurora australis as<br />
stars aligned to create<br />
perfect conditions<br />
on Monday night last<br />
week.<br />
He headed out to<br />
the beach at Birdlings<br />
Flat, getting this<br />
image, which is a<br />
multi-layer focus<br />
stacked panorama,<br />
taken on a Canon 5D<br />
MKIV.<br />
“It was the most<br />
spectacular aurora<br />
show I have ever<br />
witnessed,” Saunders<br />
said.<br />

Fields promises no more delays for harbour walkway<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
COMPLETION of the<br />
long awaited 70km Head to<br />
Head Walkway encircling<br />
Whakaraupō-Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
appears to be back on track.<br />
Banks Peninsula city councillor<br />
Tyrone Fields has promised<br />
there will be no further delays<br />
after a council vote last week<br />
fully supported the city council<br />
working with Rod Donald Banks<br />
Peninsula Trust to hurry the<br />
project along.<br />
The track has been languishing<br />
on the books for more than 10<br />
years.<br />
Last month, there was more<br />
uncertainty when it was announced<br />
the city council’s annual<br />
plan had “re-phased” spending<br />
on the project, effectively shifting<br />
money back to<br />
create savings<br />
next year and in<br />
2024.<br />
At the time<br />
Fields said there<br />
was no way he<br />
Tyrone<br />
Fields<br />
would support<br />
any delay to<br />
the project, and<br />
planned an amendment to the<br />
city council’s annual plan asking<br />
staff to leave the project alone.<br />
Then, last week he moved a<br />
different amendment (carried<br />
unanimously) to work with the<br />
trust to look at other ways the<br />
city council can accelerate<br />
the walkway’s completion<br />
instead.<br />
“I have worked with council<br />
staff to ensure the funding will<br />
be available to support the<br />
Head to Head Walkway,” said<br />
Fields.<br />
“The phasing is the phasing,<br />
but that will not impact on<br />
funds being available to work on<br />
the sections we need to. I have<br />
no qualms the money will be<br />
available,” he said.<br />

Perfect conditions for southern lights<br />
• From page 1<br />
“You could easily see<br />
giant beams of light dancing<br />
across the sky. Our eyes<br />
can’t pick up the colours as<br />
well as the camera, but you<br />
could definitely make out<br />
the incredible green and<br />
purple colours.”<br />
Known as the southern<br />
lights, aurora australis is<br />
a natural display of light<br />
caused when particles<br />
from the sun interact with<br />
earth’s magnetic field. It can<br />
be seen on clear nights in<br />
southern parts of<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Saunders said<br />
aurora alerts from<br />
Twitter or other<br />
sites can be handy<br />
as some nights are<br />
better than others.<br />
“Get out somewhere<br />
dark away<br />
from city lights and<br />
look down south on a good<br />
news<br />
Matt<br />
Saunders<br />
clear night and you will be<br />
in for a real treat,” he said.<br />
More dazzling<br />
auroras are expected<br />
this week because<br />
of a period of solar<br />
maximum.<br />
Astronomer Dr Ian<br />
Griffin said the solar<br />
storms were caused<br />
by magnetically driven<br />
explosions on the<br />
sun, which fire out<br />
material at high speed.<br />
Griffin said a period of<br />
solar maximum occurs<br />
once every 11 years when<br />
the sun is particularly active<br />
with a lot of spots on its<br />
surface.<br />
For those wanting to<br />
photograph the aurora “put<br />
your camera on a tripod<br />
and set the speed as high<br />
as it will go and open the<br />
shutter for about five to<br />
10 seconds, maybe a bit<br />
longer,” Griffin said.<br />

the auction, but not all had<br />
the chance to put their hand<br />
up. Once the boat shed was<br />
announced on the market for<br />
$170,000, just two buyers continued<br />
to fight for it.<br />
The property was marketed<br />
as a rare opportunity to secure a<br />
boat shed in a premium location.<br />
It included petrol storage for<br />
easy refuelling, a roof water<br />
collection tank and an electric<br />
winch. The boat shed also came<br />
with a treasure trove of accumulated<br />
“nuts, bolts, bits and pieces”<br />
– but not the boat.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>leys Akaroa salesperson<br />
Chris Mangels, who marketed<br />
the property with Phillipa Linton,<br />
said it was a good result.<br />
The boat sheds in Akaroa rarely<br />
come on the market, he said.<br />
Most are either sold to friends or<br />
neighbours and sometimes with<br />
other properties.<br />

The buyer owned property in<br />
the area and was aware of the<br />
boat shed’s value.<br />
Said Mangels: “They are not<br />
making any more of them.<br />
“It just highlights how keen<br />

GREAT RANGE OF<br />
Tales Of A Vet Nurse<br />
by Jade Pengelly<br />
The highs and heartbreak of caring for the animals we love You never know who or<br />
what is going to walk, crawl or slither through the doors of veterinary hospital... Clumsy<br />
Luna the Greyhound and her fragile front legs; the tortoise in need of a prosthetic leg;<br />
Jock the Saint Bernard and his problematic eyelashes; Edward the Burmese cat and his<br />
extravagant diet; the burly farmer and the world’s tiniest Chihuahua, Lulu-bell... there is<br />
never a dull day in the life of a vet nurse. As the people who care for them around the<br />
clock, vet nurses are uniquely placed to speak for their patients and help us understand<br />
what our pets are going through. From emergency shifts at a posh London practice<br />
to a busy country hospital treating all manner of wildlife - snakes, foxes, hedgehogs<br />
- to working with equine-surgeons and teaching the art of care to new generations<br />
of vet nurses in New Zealand, Tales of a Vet Nurse is about a life devoted to saving<br />
our beloved and unconditional friends. Along the way, Jade enlightens readers to the<br />
forbidden feasts of Labradors, the dangers of x-raying prize-winning showjumpers, and<br />
the most common pets she sees as clinic inpatients..<br />
The King -The Life of Charles III<br />
by Christopher Andersen<br />
From #1New York Timesbestselling author Christopher Andersen comes a vivid and<br />
unsparing yet sympathetic portrait of one of the most complex and enigmatic figures<br />
of our time: Charles, who has taken his place on the throne after being the oldest and<br />
longest-serving heir in British history.<br />
Since the day Charles Philip Arthur George was born, he has been groomed to be<br />
King. After more than seventy years of waiting, he finally ascends the throne.<br />
The King examines the private life of this historically important and controversial<br />
figure, set against the grand, thousand-year sweep of the British monarchy. This<br />
richly detailed biography covers it all, from his military training to his marriage to Lady<br />
Diana, through their separation and her tragic death to his marriage to Camilla Parker<br />
Bowles. In the process, it provides a balanced but fully honest look into the life of<br />
the new monarch. This book will tell you what the King—a man who has remained<br />
something of an enigma, shrouded in speculation and intrigue—is really like.<br />
The Snakehead<br />
An epic Tale of the Chinatown Underworld and the<br />
American dream by Patrick radden Keefe<br />
Reads like a mashup of The Godfather and Chinatown, complete with gun battles, a<br />
ruthless kingpin and a mountain of cash. Except that it’s all true.’ Time In this thrilling<br />
panorama of real-life events, the bestselling author of Empire of Pain investigates a<br />
secret world run by a surprising criminal: a charismatic middle-aged grandmother,<br />
who from a tiny noodle shop in New York’s Chinatown, managed a multimillion-dollar<br />
business smuggling people. In The Snakehead, Patrick Radden Keefe reveals the<br />
inner workings of Cheng Chui Ping aka Sister Ping’s complex empire and recounts the<br />
decade-long FBI investigation that eventually brought her down. He follows an often<br />
incompetent and sometimes corrupt INS as it pursues desperate immigrants risking<br />
everything to come to America, and along the way he paints a stunning portrait of<br />
a generation of undocumented immigrants and the intricate underground economy<br />
that sustains and exploits them. Grand in scope yet propulsive in narrative force, The<br />
Fear<br />
New Zealand’s hostile underworld of extremists<br />
by Byron Clark<br />
This must-read new book maps New Zealand’s alt-right underworld and unearths the<br />
roots of the occupation that ended in a violent protest on the grounds of Parliament.<br />
Speaking after the chaos of the protest that stopped the nation, Prime Minister Jacinda<br />
Ardern told a press conference, ‘One day, it will be our job to try and understand how a<br />
group of people could succumb to such wild and dangerous mis- and disinformation.’<br />
That day isn’t in the future. Mis- and disinformation had been identified as a problem<br />
before the convoy to parliament had even been suggested. While that protest looked<br />
like something that ‘couldn’t happen here’, things that supposedly couldn’t happen here<br />
seemed to be happening with alarming frequency. Three years prior, an armed gunman<br />
had entered two mosques in Christchurch and taken the lives of 51 worshipers, an event<br />
that shocked a country where mass shootings are almost unheard of. A few months<br />
later, a New Zealand Defence Force soldier who had founded a far-right group was<br />

Close call for Albertina the albatross<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
ALBERTINA THE antipodean<br />
albatross has been released<br />
back into the wild after nearly<br />
starving to death, but other<br />
seabirds may not be so lucky.<br />
South Island Wildlife Hospital<br />
chief veterinarian Pauline Howard,<br />
with help from the Taylors<br />
Mistake Surf Life Saving Club,<br />
released the bird nearly three<br />
weeks after she was washed up<br />
exhausted on the beach along<br />
Marine Pde.<br />
The hospital named the bird<br />
Albertina. She was starving<br />
when she was found, a plight<br />
similar to that now facing 98 per<br />
cent of seabirds, said Howard.<br />
Howard is supporting ‘School<br />
Strike for Climate Change’ advocates,<br />
calling for more marine<br />
reserves.<br />
“Warming seas around our<br />
coastline are driving fish deeper<br />
where birds can’t get them, and<br />
the fishing quota system and lack<br />
of marine reserves is making the<br />
situation much worse,” she said.<br />
Howard is warning New Zealand<br />
may soon be facing seabird<br />
extinctions, caused by over-fishing<br />
and climate change.<br />
“When I first shifted to<br />
Christchurch 30 years ago there<br />
were schools of kahawai all along<br />
the coast, chasing smaller fish to<br />
the surface. Kahawai have now<br />
disappeared because of over-fishing,”<br />
she said.<br />
“The water was 18 degrees at<br />
Taylors Mistake when Albertina<br />
was released, but we chose it<br />
because other beaches have too<br />
many dogs off their leads, which<br />
is another threat to seabirds,”<br />
said Howard.<br />
“There are really no beaches in<br />
Christchurch where the birds are<br />
safe anymore.”<br />
Albertina survived because she<br />
was rescued and put on a drip<br />
for a week. A second young albatross<br />
found starving two weeks<br />
earlier wasn’t so lucky. It died<br />
at the hospital after suffering<br />
irreversible kidney failure.<br />
“These are the only antipodean<br />
albatrosses we’ve ever seen in the<br />
hospital. We’ve never had them<br />
in before,” said Howard<br />
She said other seabirds, like<br />
the spotted shag, only found in<br />
New Zealand waters, are now<br />
at risk of extinction – and other<br />
species may follow.<br />
“The shag has almost disappeared<br />
from the Hauraki Gulf<br />
and is now only found in any<br />
numbers along the Canterbury<br />
coast.<br />
“Even red-billed seagulls are<br />
dying because of pressures on<br />
their food supply. Over the last<br />
two years the gulls in Kaikoura<br />
have been disappearing and little<br />
blue penguins are also starving,<br />
suffering from diseases they have<br />
never had before,” Howard said.<br />

Meet the crew from<br />
Coastguard Sumner<br />
THE PUBLIC will have a chance<br />
to meet the Coastguard Sumner<br />
crew tomorrow night.<br />
The crew members and<br />
managers will be at Matuku<br />
Takotako: Sumner Centre, where<br />
SailGP chief commercial officer<br />
Karl Budge will be a guest<br />
speaker.<br />
Said Coastguard Sumner<br />
president Blair Quane<br />
(right): “We are once<br />
again wanting to take the<br />
opportunity to get to know<br />
and thank our supporters.<br />
“We want to tell people a<br />
little about our state-of-theart<br />
fleet and to introduce our<br />
organisation to people who have<br />
come to live in Sumner more<br />
recently.”<br />
Quane said Budge will give<br />
people a behind-the-scenes look<br />
at the SailGP, which runs from<br />
<strong>March</strong> 18-19 in Lyttelton.<br />
Coastguard Sumner, previously<br />
known as Sumner Lifeboat, is a<br />
“very efficient, highly-skilled volunteer<br />
team of men and women<br />
who gift their time and expertise<br />
to save lives at sea.”<br />
Based at Scarborough, residents<br />
will be familiar with the lifeboat<br />
siren that alerts crew<br />
members to a call-out.<br />
In the past, community<br />
members have helped<br />
Coastguard Sumner buy<br />
new vessels and equipment.<br />
Said Quane: “Keeping in<br />
touch with the local community<br />
is a high priority for us. This oneoff<br />
event gives our busy volunteer<br />
crew members a great opportunity<br />
to meet and thank the people<br />
who raised funds to buy their<br />
vessels and equipment.<br />

Sky’s the limit for Māori<br />
artists on display at Rei<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
A NEW exhibition space<br />
celebrating and promoting<br />
Māori creativity will open this<br />
weekend in Lyttelton.<br />
Rei on Robert Forbes Lane is<br />
the culmination of a long-held<br />
desire to establish a creative<br />
place to exhibit kaupapa<br />
Māori toi (Māori creativity),<br />
said kaiwhakahaere Damian<br />
Mackie.<br />
The space will operate<br />
under the auspices of the<br />
Whakaraupō Carving<br />
Centre Trust, a non-profit<br />
organisation promoting<br />
creative Maori and non-Maori.<br />
Mackie said Rei will also<br />
be a space for emerging<br />
practitioners studying at the<br />
carving centre to help sustain<br />
their practice.<br />
“The name for the space<br />
comes from the Rei domain,<br />
which in kaupapa Māori<br />
represents the highest point of<br />
the sky occupied by supreme<br />
beings,” he said.<br />
“From them comes the<br />
power of tāne atua, the<br />
guardian of the natural world.”<br />
The formal opening is set<br />
to be held on Friday with a<br />
ceremony hosted by hapū<br />
members of Ngāti Wheke.<br />

LAYBY WELCOME<br />
• By Bridget De Goldi<br />
TE KURA O Paeraki Mt<br />
Pleasant School’s new multisports<br />
Pari Turf was officially<br />
opened last Friday on the<br />
school grounds at Major<br />
Hornbrook Rd.<br />
Year 8 pupil Bryony Kearns<br />
and Year 1 pupil Theo Kite cut<br />
the ribbon on the 990sq m fully<br />
fenced playing area, which<br />
boasts a sand-based turf laid<br />
over a shock-resistant underpad,<br />
complete with hockey<br />
and football goals, netball<br />
hoops and associated field<br />
markings.<br />
It will be available for hire by<br />
sports and community groups.<br />
Principal Donna Ellery said<br />
the name ‘pari’, meaning “on a<br />
cliff”, is perfect for the turf as it<br />
sits high atop Mt Pleasant with<br />
views of the sea to the east and<br />
the mountains to the west.<br />
“Since the turf was<br />
completed in November last<br />
year, it’s so great to see the<br />
students out there playing<br />
everyday. This amazing space<br />
is an important asset to bring<br />
our community together and<br />
is an initiative that highlighted<br />
the strength of our community<br />
working alongside our school<br />
to accomplish amazing things<br />
for our ākonga (pupils).”<br />
At a cost of $250,000 this<br />
non-Ministry of Education<br />
funded project was coordinated<br />
by school parent<br />
Christina Freeman, who<br />
started the huge planning and<br />
fundraising effort for the turf<br />
in late 2019.<br />
The effects of Covid-19<br />
resulted in delays with the<br />
design, consent and funding<br />
application processes, but with<br />
the help of some key sponsors,<br />
community grants and the<br />
school’s board and PTA,<br />
Freeman is delighted to see the<br />
turf completed.<br />
“I’m absolutely thrilled to<br />
see the turf finally being used<br />
and enjoyed by our school<br />
and wider communities. An<br />
amazing outcome after such<br />
a long hard road, thanks to<br />
Covid-19,” she said.<br />
“This project would not<br />
have been possible without the<br />
NEW TURF: Te<br />
Kura O Paeraki<br />
Mt Pleasant<br />
School pupils<br />
Bryony Kearns<br />
and Theo Kite<br />
cut the ribbon<br />
on the new Pari<br />
Turf alongside<br />
principal Donna<br />
Ellery, project<br />
co-ordinator<br />
Christina<br />
Freeman and<br />
school board<br />
chair James<br />
Murphy.<br />
hard work of so many people<br />
and we’d especially like to<br />
thank the team from MCL<br />
Contracting for making our<br />
turf facility replacement dream<br />
a reality.”<br />
Pari Turf sits adjacent to the<br />
school’s recently completed<br />
hall. Both can be hired by<br />
sports and community groups.<br />

UP FOR IT: Successful St John recruits will receive all the clinical training they need to work<br />
on the front line.<br />
St John Ambulance needs volunteers<br />
ST JOHN Ambulance wants<br />
more volunteers in Akaroa<br />
and across the rest of Banks<br />
Peninsula.<br />
Operations manager Brendan<br />
McInnes said ambulance volunteers<br />
play a critical role in their<br />
communities. The Akaroa unit<br />
currently has seven volunteers.<br />
“Ambulance volunteers are<br />
vital to rural and remote communities,<br />
and we’re looking for<br />
more dedicated locals to support<br />
the ambulance service right<br />
now,” he said.<br />
Rick Menzies joined the<br />
Akaroa St John team six years<br />
ago.<br />
‘’Rather than playing golf three<br />
days a week – with all due respect<br />
to the golfing fraternity – I<br />
should do something worthwhile<br />
by contributing something to the<br />
community,” he said.<br />
St John was recruiting in<br />
Akaroa at the time. Menzies<br />
completed the recruiting and<br />
training programme, which<br />
included completing a diploma<br />
in ambulance practice.<br />
“I have done a lot of things in<br />
my life but nothing has equalled<br />
the instant job satisfaction that<br />
one gets from helping someone,’’<br />
said Menzies.<br />
The team is supported by medical<br />
staff from Akaroa Medical<br />
Centre, and Fire and Emergency<br />
New Zealand volunteers.<br />
Dealing with accidents or<br />
medical emergencies in the rural<br />
outer bays, the team have backup<br />
support if and when needed.<br />
Menzies said it would be great<br />
to have more people join.<br />
All prospective ambulance<br />
volunteers are required to go<br />
through the St John recruitment<br />
process. Once successful they<br />
will receive all the clinical training<br />
they need to work on the<br />
front line.<br />
“When the pager sounds off<br />
one never knows what challenges<br />
are waiting for us, and whatever<br />
it is we have to deal with it, every<br />
day brings a new, interesting<br />
situation,” Menzies said.<br />
“As with other regions<br />
throughout the country, more<br />
remote areas are supported by<br />
surrounding ambulances, which<br />
operate as a network.”<br />
St John is currently based in<br />
Akaroa’s police station, but is<br />
in the early stages of acquiring<br />
a site to build a fit-for-purpose<br />
station and will be looking to<br />
the community for fundraising<br />
support.<br />

Seipp family shine in<br />
SPORT 13<br />
the surf for Sumner<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
MEMBERS OF the Seipp family<br />
impressed at yet another surf life<br />
saving event, helping Sumner<br />
finish in the top three at the<br />
Canterbury championships in<br />
New Brighton.<br />
The carnival was held at the<br />
weekend after some of the events<br />
had to be postponed when a<br />
shark was sighted off Waimairi<br />
Beach in January.<br />
Sumner (398 points) finished<br />
narrowly behind South Brighton<br />
on 415 points. Taylors Mistake<br />
managed 283 points to finish<br />
third.<br />
Four Sumner athletes were<br />
named top competitors for their<br />
age group – including the Seipp<br />
siblings. The youngest, Lola,<br />
dominated the under-10 girls’<br />
events, winning the beach flags,<br />
surf race, beach sprint, board<br />
race, run swim run and diamond,<br />
and under-10 mixed relay.<br />
Emilie Seipp and Taylors<br />
Mistake’s Amelie Clark shared<br />
the top under-14 girls’ title in a<br />
tie. Emilie won the surf race and<br />
run swim run events. Her brother<br />
Jacob won the same events as<br />
Emilie, but in the under-12 boys’<br />
category.<br />
Sam Clark, Harry Taylor<br />
and Bridie Worthington from<br />
Taylors Mistake were named top<br />
competitors in each of their age<br />
categories.<br />
The biggest event in the surf<br />
life saving season will get under<br />
way tomorrow when the New<br />
Brighton Surf Life Saving Club<br />
hosts 45 clubs competing for the<br />
New Zealand surf life saving<br />
championships. The event<br />
finishes on Sunday.<br />

It seems a world away from the calm streets of<br />
Banks Peninsula, but no doubt you all share<br />
the concern of everyone in New Zealand<br />
following the recent cyclone and flood damage<br />
in the North Island. An all-of-Government<br />
response has been underway since the cyclone<br />
made landfall and we have established the<br />
new Cyclone Gabrielle Appeal Fund. This will<br />
complement existing donation appeals and<br />
help to ensure that local and international<br />
donations are channelled back to the<br />
communities and projects that need them<br />
the most. This includes medium to long term<br />
recovery projects that help to build resilience<br />
for the future, as well as fixing the facilities<br />
where people come together, like sports clubs<br />
and community halls.<br />
The natural disasters were in stark contrast<br />
to the wonderful summer we’ve had here in<br />
Banks Peninsula. Highlights of recent months<br />
include attending A&P shows across the<br />
peninsula, visiting the various produce, art<br />
and craft markets in our bay suburbs, and the<br />
recent and always fabulous Estuary Fest. A big<br />
thank you to Jocelyn, Derek and their team for<br />
organising such a great day and to everyone<br />
who bought our cakes at the Labour stall to<br />
raise money for cyclone relief.<br />
The relocation of the Organics Processing Plant<br />
in Bromley remains a key priority of mine. A<br />
report on the shortlisted relocation options<br />
will be presented in mid-<strong>March</strong> to Council,<br />
who will then make a final decision. This has<br />
been a complex and challenging issue and I<br />
thank residents for their continued advocacy,<br />
especially those who have worked with me to<br />
gather more information and keep the issue to<br />
the forefront.<br />
Nationally, reducing the cost of living<br />
continues to be a key priority of the Labour<br />
Government, which is why we’ve extended<br />
various support measures which benefitted the<br />
overwhelming majority of New Zealanders last<br />
year. The 25 cents per litre petrol excise duty<br />
cut, the Road User Charge discount and half<br />
price public transport fares will all remain until<br />
30 June <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
I have plenty of community clinics scheduled<br />
for <strong>2023</strong> across the electorate, including those<br />
at the Sumner Library on Saturday 18 <strong>March</strong><br />
at 10am, the Mt Pleasant Community Centre<br />
on Monday 17 April at 5:30pm and two at<br />
the Woolston Library on Sunday 21 May at<br />
10:30am and 12:30pm. If you’re local to these<br />
areas I encourage you to stop by, have a chat<br />
and discuss any issues important to you.<br />
It’s been a busy start to the year and I’m looking<br />
forward to working constructively with all local<br />
communities and ensuring that our little slice<br />
of paradise remains just that. I hope you all<br />
have a wonderful autumn!<br />

Upgrade planned for Barnett Park<br />
BARNETT PARK is a wonderful<br />
community facility. It is widely<br />
used by many locals – everything<br />
from dog walking to cricket and<br />
football, rock climbing, walking,<br />
BBQs and a playground.<br />
Many people miss the track up<br />
to the cave. Since the February<br />
22, 2011 earthquake this track<br />
has been closed and the steps at<br />
the top that made access to the<br />
cave possible for a lot of people<br />
are in a state of sad disrepair.<br />
The good news is the city<br />
council is about to start repairs<br />
to the track on the eastern<br />
side of the valley and,<br />
particularly, the steps to the cave.<br />
The work should be completed<br />
by the end of June.<br />
In addition, the city council<br />
is starting to consider and plan<br />
remediating the rockfall on the<br />
western side of the valley, which<br />
means there will again be a loop<br />
track that includes easy entry<br />
into the cave.<br />
The city council has also<br />
agreed to re-naturalise the<br />
stream on the valley floor. This<br />
will involve introducing some<br />
deep pools and making its path<br />
more sinuous, then battering the<br />
sides of the stream and planting.<br />
This will decrease scouring,<br />
which will reduce the amount<br />
of sediment that goes into the<br />
estuary.<br />
Meanwhile, the Te Awakura<br />
Barnett Park Regeneration<br />
IMPROVEMENT: The planned track upgrade for Barnett<br />
Park will see access to the cave (below right) restored.<br />
Group is continuing its<br />
sterling work in the valley. The<br />
group has been removing weeds,<br />
planting and helping with pest<br />
control for some years now.<br />
They have plans to see the valley<br />
walls and part of the valley floor<br />
planted in natives, which will<br />
provide an even better facility on<br />
our doorstep (the plan would see<br />
the dog walking area remain as<br />
it is).<br />
To this end a report is being<br />
commissioned to take stock of<br />
the plants that are there now and<br />
to advise what might be done in<br />
the future.<br />
Most recently the group has<br />
been involved in removing the<br />
banana passionfruit on the valley<br />
floor around the dog park. This<br />
scourge of a vine smothers native<br />
plants and stops them growing<br />
and spreading.<br />
The Te Awakura Barnett<br />
Park Regeneration Group will<br />
continue to receive support<br />
from the Sumner Ferrymead<br />
Foundation.<br />

French Farm Winery<br />
Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong>’s Winery-Garden Bar & Deli, Weddings & Accommodation<br />
When disaster struck and their<br />
Geraldine home of 18 years was<br />
destroyed by fire in August 2021,<br />
Caroline and Paul Whitbread<br />
decided to take on a new venture<br />
in life. Initially, Paul was keen to<br />
rebuild, but Caroline had a<br />
different vision, and with two<br />
daughters in Christchurch, they<br />
shifted to Banks Peninsula. The<br />
turning point happened after<br />
visiting and falling in love with<br />
the on-the-market, iconic<br />
French Farm Winery. Paul says,<br />
“I thought I was going to be<br />
buying the house within ten<br />
minutes of being here.” And with<br />
majestic views and surrounded<br />
by bush, French Farm Winery<br />
became Paul and Caroline’s new<br />
home six months ago, along with<br />
their two dogs, Maisy and Poppy.<br />
After beginning to tidy the<br />
worse-for-wear and overgrown<br />
“jungle”, they discovered they<br />
had bought more than they<br />
thought. With repeated queries<br />
about when they were opening<br />
and people sharing fond memories<br />
of the venue, they revised<br />
their plans. Although the<br />
Whitbreads had no hospitality<br />
experience, they were businessminded,<br />
well-travelled, and<br />
knew what they liked in hospitality.<br />
So they took a leap of faith<br />
and decided to reopen French<br />
Farm Winery for business using<br />
the existing pizzeria. However,<br />
wanting something they could<br />
do themselves with the help of<br />
their daughter Emily, the<br />
concept of a garden bar and deli<br />
came into being.<br />
The picturesque garden bar and<br />
deli, where you almost feel<br />
transported to another country,<br />
had a low-key opening several<br />
weeks ago. The courtyard and<br />
grounds have gorgeous water<br />
features and stonework, plenty<br />
of seating under the vine, the<br />
covered atrium, or the terrace<br />
area. The deli offers scrumptious<br />
local and New Zealandmade<br />
delicacies, including<br />
meats, cheeses, crackers, and<br />
fruit, to create a personal<br />
picnic-stye platter from your<br />
selection. Along with pies,<br />
flatbreads and pizzas, cold<br />
drinks and delicious wines from<br />
local wineries available, there’s<br />
nothing better on a hot day<br />
with a slight breeze and the<br />
spectacular sea views and<br />
tranquil surroundings. As Emily<br />
states, “We want to create a<br />
relaxing environment with a<br />
peaceful vibe, where you are<br />
away from the stress.”<br />
Paul and Caroline want to<br />
reimagine how French Farm<br />
Winery can operate and bring it<br />
back to its original winery<br />
concept with exceptional<br />
ambience and glamourous<br />
appeal. While French Farm<br />
Winery has been an iconic<br />
establishment on the Banks<br />
Emily at the bar.<br />
Peninsula for over 30 years, the<br />
family’s vision is to take it to the<br />
next level of development,<br />
particularly with a boutique<br />
lodge situated in the old winery<br />
building in the future. Paul<br />
advises, “When it’s all done, our<br />
vision for French Farm Winery is<br />
to establish it as the premier<br />
location on the Peninsula to visit<br />
for outdoor summer and indoor<br />
winter dining.” Becoming<br />
established in the community,<br />
Caroline is also keen to host<br />
corporate and social events,<br />
murder-mystery evenings, and<br />
mid-winter Christmas, complete<br />
with all the trimmings.<br />
Both are incredibly hardworking<br />
and willing to go the<br />
extra mile. Caroline is the<br />
“driving force” making things<br />
happen and taking care of the<br />
Emily holding Twiggy and Caroline Whitbread.<br />
admin, while Paul likes to get his<br />
hands dirty around the property.<br />
Hospitality-experienced Emily,<br />
with her bright smile and<br />
excellent service, ensures<br />
customers have a wonderful<br />
visit. Several locals are also<br />
employed to help with the<br />
property, deli and four-bedroom<br />
Airbnb accommodation.<br />
Visit friendly and engaging hosts<br />
Caroline, Paul and Emily at<br />
French Farm Winery at 12<br />
Winery Road, French Farm,<br />
Akaroa, to experience that<br />
“wow” factor with glorious views<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 19<br />
The coastal cargo ships of Kaiapoi<br />
KAIAPOI TOWN – named<br />
after the famous Ngāi Tūāhuriri<br />
/ Ngāi Tahu pā (1700-1830)<br />
of the same name a couple of<br />
kilometres to the north – lies<br />
on the Kaiapoi River, a former<br />
branch and now tributary of the<br />
mighty Waimakariri River that<br />
flows from the Kā Tiritiri-ote-moana<br />
Southern Alps down<br />
through the plains to the ocean.<br />
It is said that, for centuries, the<br />
Waimakariri was a traditional<br />
river route for Waitaha and then<br />
Ngāi Tahu waka travelling to<br />
and from mahinga kai lakes of<br />
the Canterbury high country<br />
and over the mountains to Te<br />
Tai Poutini West Coast and its<br />
treasured pounamu. The pākehā<br />
settlement of Kaiapoi is said to<br />
have begun soon after the signing<br />
of Kemp’s Deed in the late<br />
1840s, as a ferry stop along what<br />
was then the northern branch of<br />
the Waimakariri.<br />
From 1852 a regular monthly<br />
ferry service sailed out to Heathcote,<br />
and the Kaiapoi wharf was<br />
built in the centre of town to<br />
accommodate the growing river<br />
traffic.<br />
On October 31, 1876 the<br />
Waimakariri <strong>Harbour</strong> Board Act<br />
was passed to establish the Port<br />
of Kaiapoi as the ‘river town’<br />
flourished on a growing trade<br />
of timber, wool and mutton.<br />
It was even thought the town<br />
might outgrow its poor cousin<br />
some 17km to the south, little<br />
Ōtautahi Christchurch. This<br />
was not to be, and by 1946 the<br />
Kaiapoi wharf’s best days were<br />
well behind it when the <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Board was abolished.<br />
A decade later, in 1958, an<br />
economic window reopened for<br />
the Port of Kaiapoi due to congestion<br />
and higher cargo costs<br />
on the Lyttelton wharves, and it<br />
became profitable to ship general<br />
cargo directly from Wellington<br />
through to Kaiapoi and then by<br />
road to Christchurch. The first<br />
such ship to ply this post-war<br />
cargo trade was the MV (Motor<br />
Vessel) Paroto.<br />
Built in 1914 by G.T. Niccol<br />
Shipbuilding in Auckland, the<br />
then SS Paroto steamed the<br />
Northland trade routes for<br />
three decades from Matakana<br />
to Kerikeri before being sold to<br />
Collingwood Shipping Co. of<br />
Nelson and refitted with twin<br />
114 bhp diesel engines in 1950.<br />
With a crew of six, and at 128<br />
gross tons, she was 2m in length,<br />
with a 7m beam and just on a 2m<br />
draught. (This shallow draught<br />
was the maximum for all ocean<br />
going ships docking at Kaiapoi<br />
as they first had to wait for high<br />
tide before braving the sandbar<br />
at the mouth of the Waimakairi<br />
and then making their way<br />
upriver to the port.)<br />
So it was that early on Sunday,<br />
November 16, 1958 the MV<br />
Paroto traversed the sandbar and<br />
became the first cargo ship for 22<br />
years to sail up the Waimakariri<br />
and unload at Kaiapoi wharf. On<br />
arrival at 8.15am she was greeted<br />
by hundreds of spectators, with<br />
Captain Fitzsimmons and crew<br />
welcomed by the town burghers<br />
led by Mayor Williams.<br />
Nonetheless, their Wellington<br />
cargo was promptly unloaded<br />
and on its way down the road<br />
to Christchurch just 30 minutes<br />
later. After reloading fuel and<br />
cargo she was off again the<br />
following Wednesday with the<br />
high tide. Several more sea-going<br />
cargo ships of shallow draught<br />
followed the MV Paroto in a<br />
decade of busy coastal cargo<br />
trade. By the mid 1960s the<br />
Paroto, Ranginui and Waiotahi<br />
were plying the Canterbury coast<br />
to Wellington, with Kaiapoi Port<br />
handling over 35,000 tons of<br />
cargo in 1963 alone.<br />
The future, however, was<br />
already on the way and sadly it<br />
did not include Kaiapoi’s coastal<br />
cargo ships. New Zealand’s first<br />
roll-on/roll-off ferry, the ‘Government<br />
Motor Vessel’ GMV<br />
Aramoana, had launched in 1962<br />
carrying 180,000 tons of road<br />
and rail freight across the strait<br />
into Picton in her first year.<br />
When her sister ship Aranui<br />
launched in 1966 the ‘floating<br />
bridge’ connecting the nation’s<br />
North and South islands’ road<br />
and rail networks signalled the<br />
end of the coastal cargo trade.<br />
Then tragically, on August 3,<br />
1966, while southbound from<br />
Wellington on the way to Kaiapoi<br />
and heavy with an 80 ton<br />
cargo, the MV Paroto hit rocks<br />
in heavy fog and was stranded at<br />
Point Gibson near Port Robinson.<br />
While the crew safely abandoned<br />
ship, the Paroto could not<br />
be refloated and two days later<br />
she was broken on the rocks.<br />
The loss of the Paroto was<br />
a huge blow to Kaiapoi’s river<br />
economy, and with its remaining<br />
coastal cargo ships struggling<br />
against rising competition and<br />
wharf costs in Wellington, the<br />
last cargo was unloaded on<br />
October 29, 1967. After barely<br />
a decade, in 1969 the Kaiapoi<br />
Borough Council finally declared<br />
the end of the coastal cargo ships<br />
of Kaiapoi.<br />
