Lucky dog pulled from 

family’s burning bach 

• By Chris Barclay 

WHEN GIRL, a six-year-old 

border collie huntaway cross, 

was cradled unresponsive from a 

burning bach, firefighters feared 

the worst. 

Fortunately once the flames 

were extinguished, they were able 

to suggest Kate Robinson consider 

another appropriate descriptor 

for her beloved pet. 

“They said I should call her 

‘Lucky’,” she said, while 

recounting Girl’s gradual 

recovery from severe smoke 

inhalation. Volunteers 

responding to the call at 

Robinsons Bay, three days after 

Christmas, used breathing 

apparatus to revive Girl, who 

continued along the road to full 

recovery in Fendalton. 

A neighbour alerted the 

Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade 

and Robinson’s father Lee, 

who along with other family 

members, noticed smoke rising 

above the jetty while enjoying 

a late afternoon barbecue while 

boating on the bay.

Parents 

concerned 

over way 

police 

handled 

girl’s case 

• By Dylan Smits 

THE PARENTS of a young 

girl who said a stranger tried to 

pick her up as she walked home 

from school have laid a complaint 

over the way police handled the 

case. 

Police have closed the 

investigation, saying their inquiries 

yielded no leads. 

But the parents are concerned 

about the investigation and 

have laid a complaint with the 

Independent Police Conduct 

Authority. 

“I also would like to know what 

they’ve actually done in relation to 

this investigation,” the girl’s father 

told Bay Harbour News. 

A man allegedly approached 

the 8-year-old outside Lyttelton 

Primary School on December 12, 

saying her parents had told him to 

pick her up. 

She ran home when the stranger 

did not know a password she and 

her parents had created should 

anyone she didn’t know approach 

her.

POLICE SEARCH and Rescue 

officers have been training to 

help fill a skills gap in body and 

victim recovery from marine 

environments. 

Police SAR, Coastguard New 

Zealand, and Taylors Mistake 

and Sumner surf lifesaving clubs 

have been working together 

to bring their expertise to the 

training sessions. 

A second training was held 

in December to skill up seven 

officers. The first was held in 

October. 

SAR squad member Constable 

Tom Denman said there is a 

need for more search and rescue 

officers with experience in marine 

operations. 

“We need police SAR 

members who understand DVI 

(disaster victim identification) 

and SAR operational processes, 

but we also need people with 

experience and skill operating 

in this type of unique marine 

environment.” 

A surf lifeguard himself, 

Denman identified the missing 

piece of the puzzle. 

“Surf Life Saving New 

Zealand are experts in the 

inshore rescue space,” said 

Denman. 

Police SAR members who 

are already surf lifesaving club 

members were selected for the 

training sessions due to their 

pre-existing skills. The advanced 

training is needed for victim 

recovery at sea. 

“It’s often in choppy and 

surging seas and requires

navigation and entry from the 

water onto the rocky base of the 

cliffs. It can be dangerous and 

not everyone is confident in that 

environment,” said Denman. 

Taylors Mistake Surf Life 

Saving Club patrol manager 

Patrice de Beer said the trainings 

have been successful so far. 

“Our role is to teach them how 

to interpret what the surf does 

and what areas of rocks 

are safe,” he said. 

The training also aims to 

provide more capable body 

recovery police, so surf lifesaving 

club members do not need to 

recover bodies themselves. 

“If the police have specialised 

people, then they can deal with 

that. We don’t want to expose 

surf lifesaving members to 

unnecessary trauma.” 

De Beer said more training 

sessions in the coming months 

are likely.

In Brief 

ROADSIDE FIRE CAUSED 

BY BURNT-OUT CAR 

A grass fire was ignited by a 

burnt-out car on Sunday about 

halfway between Purau and 

Port Levy. Two fire trucks from 

Diamond Harbour responded, 

with firefighters working for four 

hours from about 6am to douse 

the 200m trail of flames along the 

roadside. Diamond Harbour chief 

fire officer Frank Watson said the 

fire could have been out of control 

if fire crews had arrived later. The 

car was empty when firefighters 

arrived. 

SWIMMERS CAUGHT IN RIP 

A group of five swimmers were 

rescued from a rip near Cave 

Rock on Thursday. Sumner 

surf lifesavers rushed out on 

paddleboards and an inflatable 

rescue boat about 8pm to help 

guide the group of friends in 

their 20s back to shore. Two 

people in the group were 

significantly at risk and had to be 

dragged ashore. 

MEMORIAL FOR CHURCH 

A memorial has been created to 

remember one of Lyttelton’s oldest 

churches, which was demolished 

after the earthquakes. St Joseph 

the Worker Church provided a 

place of worship and education 

for the port’s catholic community 

for 146 years. The memorial site 

can be found at 18 Winchester St, 

adjacent to the steps which led up 

to the church.

Circus troupe reunites for Berlin Burlesque 

• Tickets 

cost 

$40-60 

and are 

available 

at laf.co.nz 


A CIRCUS theatre company has 

reunited for the first time since 

the earthquakes to deliver an 

ambitious showcase of talent. 

Running from tonight until 

February 10, the Lyttelton Circus 

Theatre company presents Berlin 

Burlesque – The Story of Hanussen. 

“It’s a very exciting show and 

it’s got a bit of everything,” said 

cast member Skye Broberg. 

The production is a rework 

of the company’s previous tour. 

It fuses theatre and circus in 

a dreamy imagining of 1930s 

Berlin. 

The company was formerly 

known as ‘The Loons’ for the 

well-known working men’s club 

where they rehearsed and performed 

in Lyttelton. 

The venue was damaged 

beyond repair in the June 2011 

earthquake. 

“Everything was put on hold, 

and people went their separate 

ways as time went on,” said 

Broberg. 

In August last year, company 

director Mike Friend put a 

call out to performers, asking 

them to take part in a new 

production at the Lyttelton Arts 

Factory. 

Friend is the artistic director 

of the arts factory, which opened 

next to Lyttelton Primary School 

in 2016 as the direct successor to 

The Loons venue. 

The performers answered the 

call and reassembled, with members 

returning to Christchurch 

from across New Zealand and 

overseas. 

Sophie Easton, the production’s 

lead vocalist, returned 

from Canada to take part. Identical 

‘Twisty Twinz’ Jola and Nele 

Siezen also came back. 

Said Broberg: “lt was wonderful 

to see everyone and be back 

together. It was surreal being 

back together in the same room. 

It was almost like no time had 

passed.” 

The company promises a 

“dynamic aerial set, mesmerising 

circus acts, seductive performances, 

and a live band”. 

The cast includes actors and 

performers Nele and Jola Siezen, 

Pascal Ackermann, David Ladderman 

and Tom Trevella. 

“We’ve all really grown in 

skills and experience since the 

last time. We all have a lot more 

to offer now,” said Broberg. 

Based on a true story, the 

production tells the tale of Erik 

Jan Hanussen, a mentalist and 

variety theatre owner in Weimar 

and later Nazi Germany. 

Despite his Jewish heritage, he 

had instructed Hitler in performance 

and the art of dramatic 

effect. 

Hanussen claimed to be a 

prophet, but blinded by his own 

success, he could not foresee his 

own demise. 

Swastikas and other Nazi 

symbols will be part of 

Berlin Burlesque, but 

steps have been taken 

to minimise any offence 

they may cause. The 

show is set in Germany in 

the 1930s and explores 

the rise of Nazism. 

“It’s something that 

we’re very mindful of,” 

said Broberg. 

The cast and crew 

have been discussing the 

issue, as a law banning 

the Nazi salute and the 

display or sale of symbols 

associated with Nazism 

came into effect in 

Australia last week. 

The offence is 

punishable by up to 

12 months in prison. 

Exemptions exist for 

academic, educational or 

artistic use. 

Broberg said the script 

writers and set designers 

have been careful to only 

portray Nazi symbols 

negatively. 

“It is a very serious 

thing, but we shouldn’t 

forget and move on from 

these atrocities. We need 

to learn from the past.” 

There is a disclaimer on 

the Lyttelton Arts Factory 

website, warning about 

the inclusion of Nazi 

symbols in the show.

‘It’s one of the best jobs in the world’ 


SKYE BROBERG often finds 

herself crammed into tight 

spaces for the entertainment of 

others. 

A contortionist and Guinness 

World Record holder, the 

51-year-old is one of Berlin Burlesque’s 

feature performers. 

“I’ve never had the aspiration 

to be the best at anything. I just 

do what I enjoy and that’s what 

draws me in,” said Broberg. 

Born in Melbourne, she has 

made Lyttelton her home for the 

past 17 years and contributed to 

arts development in the port. 

Specialising in contortion, hula-hooping 

and aerial acrobatics, 

Broberg has shown off her skills 

across the globe. 

“It’s one of the best jobs in 

the world. There’s not many 

other jobs where you get people 

coming up to you after saying 

‘thank you’. You feel very 

spoiled.” 

Broberg has performed at festivals 

and in circus productions 

across the globe. 

Her most active touring period 

was between 2008 and 2012. The 

fallout from the earthquakes 

made it difficult to tour. 

“Any place that we would normally 

train at was gone. Along 

with that, there weren’t many 

gigs around. So yeah, it was a 

difficult time.” 

Broberg then became more 

involved with the Lyttelton arts 

community. 

“It’s my chosen home. I find it 

weird whenever I go back to Australia, 

people are like ‘oh you’re 

going home,’ I’m like, ‘this is my 

home now’.” 

Broberg achieved a world record 

in 2011 for cramming into a 

box in 4.78 seconds. 

She had another remarkable 

achievement in 2009, when she 

and fellow Berlin Burlesque 

cast members the Twisty Twinz 

achieved the longest duration of 

three people squeezed into a box. 

They were able to stay inside 

for 6min 13.52sec. 

Broberg found enjoyment and 

a good challenge in taking on 

these records. 

“I knew I had a good chance, 

but they were incredibly 

challenging for sure. Like 

anything with athletes, you 

know you’re capable of it, but on 

the day it’s a question of whether 

you can perform under that 

pressure.” 

She went on Italian TV to 

show off her skills after achieving 

the fastest box contortion record. 

“They were adventures for me. 

It’s always fun and the people 

take good care of you.”

Broberg is 

performing 

in Berlin 

Burlesque – 

The Story of 

Hanussen. 

Broberg discovered her passion 

for circus while working an IT 

desk job in Melbourne. 

“A friend told me they were 

going to do a stunt course, and I 

loved the idea of it.” 

She joined the three-week long 

intensive course on the Gold 

Coast when she was 29-yearsold, 

and her passion was born. 

“I started to think, you know 

what, I’m sick of my desk job. 

I’m really enjoying this. So, I 

left Melbourne and I came to 

Christchurch.” 

At 32, she met much of the 

Berlin Burlesque cast at the 

former Christchurch Polytechic 

Institute of Technology circoarts 

programme. 

After finishing the course, she 

travelled in circus companies 

and conducted solo tours across 

New Zealand and around the 

world. 

Broberg said it requires 

dedicated flexibility training to 

succeed at contortion. 

“Now that I’m over 50, really 

making sure I warm up well 

beforehand. These days the body 

won’t bounce back as quickly.” 

She now works full-time at 

the Lyttelton Arts Factory as an 

administrator, and as creative 

director of the Lyttelton Arts 

Festival. 

“I really like the organisational 

side of things and I really love 

getting to meet all of these 

wonderful performers and 

creating an environment where 

they can shine,” she said. 

Going forward, Broberg hopes 

to see Berlin Burlesque succeed 

so the circus company can put 

on more shows together.

Dad doesn’t know 

if police ‘asked for 

camera footage’ 

•From page 1 

The father told Bay Harbour 

News he believed police did not 

check CCTV cameras which 

could have provided clues to 

the vehicle the stranger could 

have been associated with. His 

daughter said a white van was 

parked near where she was 

approached. 

He said cameras on Norwich 

Quay and the Lyttelton 

Tunnel could have helped the 

investigation. 

The father says police initially 

said they would check footage 

from the cameras. But when 

he made inquiries about the 

progress of the investigation last 

week, he was told the case was 

“closed”. 

The officer he was dealing with 

wouldn’t say if the cameras had 

been checked, he said. 

“I said to her: ‘So what have 

you guys actually done?’” 

He said the officer would not 

reveal what other inquiries had 

been made. 

“I don’t think they did 

anything. I don’t even know 

if they asked for the camera 

footage.” 

Police also refused to answer 

specific questions from Bay 

Harbour News, including 

whether the Norwich Quay and 

tunnel cameras, or any others 

around Lyttelton, were checked. 

The father also said he told 

police about a grey vehicle which 

could have been involved when 

another girl was approached 

at Opawa School, also in 

December. 

The person associated with 

that vehicle had similar features 

to the man his daughter said 

approached her. 

The father’s inquiries also 

revealed Lyttelton Tunnel CCTV 

footage is deleted after about 

seven days. 

A NZTA Waka Kotahi 

spokesperson said the footage is 

deleted because of storage costs. 

CCTV footage on Norwich 

Quay is stored in a city council 

database and is deleted after 

about five weeks. 

Police would not comment on 

whether CCTV at the tunnel or 

in other parts of Lyttelton were 

checked for vehicles of interest 

during the investigation or if 

there were checks within seven 

days of the alleged incident. 


‘We got out of it by 

the skin of our teeth’ 

•From page 1 

Although the neighbour 

opened a door to the property, 

dense smoke prevented him from 

retrieving Girl from the lounge. 

“The smoke was so intense they 

had to close the doors again and 

wait for the firefighters to get her 

out. They had to wait seven or 

so minutes for someone to get in 

there and get her,” Kate Robinson 

said. 

“When I got there and saw the 

state she was in . . . she couldn’t 

walk and (was) struggling to 

breathe. She was pretty much out 

to it and not looking very good.” 

A veterinarian, who was 

those guys. The fire brigade was 

magnificent.” 

Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade 

chief fire officer Mark Thomson 

credited his crew for finding Girl 

in challenging circumstances 

after arriving on the scene seven 

minutes after the alarm was 

sounded. 

“It was a black 

dog in a black 

smoke-filled 

room on a black 

couch so the 

guys did very, 

very well to find 

her and put BA 

(breathing apparatus) 

on.” 

Mark 

fortuitously in the vicinity, then 

continued Girl’s treatment, 

Still, the Thomson 

administering antibiotics and grateful. “I looked over (from the scenario looked 

steroids. 

“She got a couple of shots and 

bounced back really quickly, then 

she did decline a bit later,” Kate 

Robinson said. 

“She was really lethargic . . . 

coughing. We had to carry her 

out to the toilet. It’s only been the 

last couple of days that she’s fully 

recovered. We’re really, really 

lucky.” 

Although the fire – believed to 

be caused by an electrical fault – 

extensively damaged the kitchen 

and lounge, Lee Robinson was 

boat) and I could see the smoke 

pouring out of the roof. It was a 

bit unnerving, but never mind, 

we’re alive,” he said. 

“We were five minutes off losing 

everything; we got out of it by 

the skin our of teeth. 

“There was a lot of damage but 

we could have lost a dog, a bach 

(built by Lee’s father Matthew 

in 1953), and 30 years of native 

planting. 

“Baches up the hillside, 

everything was at risk. We were 

so lucky, I can’t say enough about 

grim when they emerged: “Its 

head was limp, it didn’t look 

good,” he said. 

So Thomson, his firefighters, 

and volunteers from Little River 

were amazed when Girl returned 

from her vet visit while they were 

mopping up. 

“When she came back every 

single one of them was like 

‘Is this the same dog?’” Kate 

Robinson said. 

“She was very, very close (to 

death). They were all really 

stoked she was ok.”

City2Surf: Running for kids in 2024 

CHILDREN encountering a 

challenging road ahead will

the iconic Les Mills City2Surf 

fun run in March. 

Star Media has partnered with 

the Cholmondeley Children’s 

Centre in Governors Bay, a safe 

haven for children aged between 

three and 12-years-old. 

Established in 1925 as the 

Cholmondeley Memorial 

Children’s Home, more than 

30,000 Canterbury children have 

stayed at the facility on a shortterm 

respite basis. 

A new purpose-built premises 

opened in 2015 following the 

Canterbury earthquakes. 

“It’s a really

said Star

to donate to 

Cholmondeley

Social and serious athletes 

tackle the celebrated original 

route from the central city to 

New Brighton for a second 

successive year after earthquake 

damage required revised routes 

post-2011. 

This edition of the South 

Island’s biggest fun run is again 

spearheaded by a 12km route 

from Latimer Square to New 

Brighton. 

A less taxing 6km route starts 

at Bickerton Reserve in Wainoni 

– near last year’s starting point at 

Avon Park – and also finishes at

Time Travelling with a Tortoise 

by Ross Welford 

Exciting, funny, heartwarming, and mind-bendingly 

clever, Time Travelling with a Tortoise is the 

extraordinary, adventure-packed sequel to Ross 

Welford’s beloved, bestselling debut, Time Travelling 

with a Hamster. Al Chaudhury travelled back in time to 

save his father’s life. 

And it worked – Al’s dad is alive again and life is back to the way 

it should be. At least, that’s what Al thinks. 

Because when an accident nearly kills Al’s beloved Grandpa Byron, and 

forces Al back in time again, this time he leaves someone behind, trapped 

in another dimension forever. 

And now Al is forced to travel through time once more, not just to rescue 

his friend from the past, but also to save his Grandpa Byron’s life… and to 

make sure that there will be a future waiting for them all. 

It turns out time travel isn’t as simple as Al thought.

THIS BOOK 

On the eve of a world war, a forbidden love will blossom in the garden of a 

stately home, where one young woman will make a choice that will change 

her life forever… 

As the storm clouds of war gather, Cordelia seeks refuge in the grounds 

of her family estate. Handsome landscaper Isaac has recently arrived to 

tend to the gardens, and the connection between him and Cordelia is as 

immediate as it is forbidden. Isaac begins to secretly teach her how to 

cultivate the gardens, so when he and all the young men are called away 

to war, Cordelia takes over. From the battlefields of Europe, Isaac sends 

her letters, that give her hope for their future in peacetime. But when 

these messages abruptly cease, Cordelia must face up to the worst and 

take her future – and the fate of the garden they both loved – into her own 

hands… 

An epic, sweeping tale of love, war and the strength of the human spirit. 

Fans of Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton will be absolutely gripped by this 

historical page-turner.

Puawai recipients embody school values 

Heathcote Valley School recipients Jamie, Belle and Aislinn 

with Gretchen Cocks. 

LAST YEAR’S Year 8 students 

are starting to think about 

the transition to high school 

with excitement and a maybe 

a little trepidation. And their 

parents are thinking about the 

transition too, because it’s not 

an inexpensive exercise with the 

need for new uniforms and new 

technology. 

To assist with costs, the 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

introduced the Puawai Award 

in 2020. The award recognises 

students who flourished in their 

final year of primary school. 

Each school determines their 

own criteria, and the number of 

recipients they wish to recognise. 

Said Te Raekura Redcliffs 

School principal Nick Leith: “For 

our four recipients, it’s a wellearned 

award as they embody 

the school values. They are leaders 

in their own right, in the way 

they interact with all students 

as well as mentoring the young 

ones. They clearly demonstrate 

authentic leadership.” 

The 13 recipients of the Puawai 

Award are a diverse group. Ask 

them their favourite subjects and 

you find maths and PE are common, 

with writing and art close 

behind. In their spare time they 

are an active bunch, playing basketball, 

football, hockey, netball, 

surfing, snowboarding, running, 

ocean training and horse-riding. 

Music, art, reading and computer 

games also feature. Next year 

they are heading off in different 

directions to nine Christchurch 

high schools. 

“What impressed me was 

many of them had such clear 

aspirations as such an early age,” 

said Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

trustee Jane Paterson. 

“It might be to earn a place 

on the Freeride World Tour 

for snowboarding, to represent 

Christchurch at the eventing 

championships this year, to earn 

a medal at the 2024 national surf 

lifesaving competitions, or to 

even join a rock band. They have 

both short and long-term goals 

and I am sure they will do their 

best to make them a reality.” 

While the Puawai Awards are 

for Year 8 students, the Sumner 

Ferrymead Foundation also 

offers a range of academic and 

Outward Bound scholarships, 

and apprentice and environment 

awards. 

• Applications are 

now open for the 2024 

scholarships and awards 

programme. More

NEWS 19 

Ensuring the Okains Bay 

community keeps thriving 

Community-led 

development in small 

settlements can make all 

the difference. Reporter 

Dylan Smits spoke with 

Judith Thacker from the 

Okains Bay Enhancement 

Society about her group’s 

work to preserve the 

settlement’s heritage and 

attract visitors 

JUDITH THACKER “is all 

about” making Okains Bay a 

better place to live and visit. 

Now her efforts have been 

acknowledged with a city council 

civic award for services to the 

community. 

The 77-year-old was shocked 

when she was nominated for the 

award by residents. 

But she said it felt good to 

receive it alongside others who 

have made positive contributions 

to their communities. That 

was until she was told to give 

a speech at the ceremony last 

month. 

“That was my worst 

nightmare,” said Thacker. 

“I tend to be more of a team 

player than a leader.” 

Born in Christchurch, she 

married her husband Kerry in 

1965 and moved to the bay. 

“I knew about community and 

how important it was even in the 

city to pull your weight.” 

Thacker wears several hats 

in the community but feels her 

position on the enhancement 

society’s board has the most 

impact. 

“I’m proactive. I come up with 

ideas and I like to follow them 

through, but I also like a group 

of people around. 

“You know, like-minded and 

who participate in the same way.” 

From planting thousands of 

native trees with conservation 

groups to preserving heritage 

buildings, Thacker said the 

society works to make the bay an 

attractive place for residents and 

visitors. 

The role of women in the 

community was drastically 

different when she first moved to 

the bay as an 18-year-old. 

“The women of the bay, at 

that stage, a lot of them didn’t 

drive. So they relied on their 

husbands.” 

Thacker was a member of the 

first women’s groups formed in 

the bay in the 1960s and 70s. 

“It became an important time 

when women were starting to 

branch out a bit more and learn 

a bit.” 

Discussing local issues with 

other women living in the bay, 

Thacker gained the confidence to 

participate and contribute to the 

area’s development. 

“It gave us the chance to learn 

about public speaking, to not be 

scared to participate in stating 

our views on things. 

“I think that was a movement 

in our community that gave 

women strength. 

“A community is made by 

interaction and how you relate to 

people. 

“If you put a bit of effort in, I’ve 

always believed you get 

more out of it.” 

The closure of the cheese 

factory in 1968 was a turning 

point for Okains Bay. 

HARD-WORKING: Judith 

Thacker received a city 

council civic award for her 

work with the Okains Bay 

Enhancement Society from 

Mayor Phil Mauger. 

With a major employer gone 

and many moving away, the 

remaining residents decided 

they needed to play a more 

active role in making the bay 

more attractive to visitors and 

prospective property owners. 

“It was changing times. When 

those houses became vacant 

and they were taken up by more 

holiday homes, it was important 

to rope those people in and 

sort of create things for them to 

participate.” 

With a small and relatively 

stagnant population, Okains Bay 

needs visitors and new residents 

to thrive. 

“Without the community 

work, you see it all over in 

different places. You see the old 

halls and where communities 

used to be, and they are no 

longer.” 

Kerry’s older cousin, Murray 

Thacker, transformed the old 

cheese factory building into the 

Okains Bay Maori & Colonial 

Museum. 

His efforts to develop the bay 

inspired Thacker. 

“He had that vision, always of 

community. 

“Whatever he could think of 

to keep it like it used to be. Us 

younger ones have continued in 

that same mindset. 

“How can we make the place 

attractive to the people who do 

want to come and buy into it.” 

Murray died in 2017, but his 

legacy remains in the bay. 

The enhancement society 

was created in 2000 to direct 

development projects in the bay. 

“It’s an ongoing thing. I think 

progress makes progress happen. 

It accelerates things.” 

Over the last five years, 

protecting the bay’s heritage 

buildings has become a priority 

for the society. 

The library and general store 

have both been renovated to keep 

their heritage character. Thacker 

is also a guide at the museum, 

helping draw visitors to the area 

and teaching them about the its 

history. 

“It was the first landing site for 

Ngai Tahu, and it also has a lot 

of history of the early colonial 

days,” she said. 

“At the museum we try to 

recognise both.” 

Thacker said the 

successful campaign in 

2013 to keep Okains Bays 

School open was another 

example of the community 

coming together. 

“I believe we can, with good 

intentions, keep it going here for 

many generations to come.”
