Road 

closure 

frustrates 

residents 

• From page 1 

SailGP said in correspondence 

with residents the road closure 

was “designed to manage the flow 

of traffic, parking, emergency 

access, resident access and 

transport options for ticket 

holders”. 

It said addresses in the closed 

areas would be mailed a pass 

allowing access from Lyttelton in 

late February or early March. 

SailGP did not respond to 

questions from Bay Harbour 

News about why it was necessary 

to restrict access to residents, 

especially those who live close to 

Dyers Pass Rd, or if alternative 

options had been considered. 

On its website it said the traffic 

management plan had been 

prepared with input from the city 

council, ChristchurchNZ, Waka 

Kotahi, local businesses and other 

stakeholders. 

Lyttelton residents will also be 

blocked from entering the suburb 

through Sumner and Governors 

Bay and only allowed access 

through Tunnel Rd, Bridle Path 

Rd and Ferry Rd.

In Brief 

MEETING TO PREPARE 

FOR AN EMERGENCY 

The Diamond Harbour 

Community Association 

hosted an emergency 

preparedness meeting with 

Civil Defence and Fire and 

Emergency NZ on Saturday. 

Residents found out how they 

can get involved in volunteer 

emergency organisations and 

the association. They were also 

shown how to create a household 

evacuation plan in case of fire or 

other disaster.

Borrow a library surfboard 


BORROW a board and bring it 

back in two weeks – that is the 

concept behind New Zealand’s 

first surfboard library in 

Sumner. 

“We’re putting it out there for 

people who have never tried it 

before for free,” said co-founder 

Lucas Sampaio. 

The Goat Shed library on 

Nayland St is looking for 

donations of decent quality 

surfboards to bolster its stocks. 

Sampaio and another Sumner 

resident Carlos Alonso came up 

with the idea in 2020 and have 

slowly opened the library up to 

the public.

“We believe that building 

slowly, we’ll be able to build a 

bigger foundation for something 

in the future,” Sampaio said. 

He hopes the concept of 

the library, which is run by 

volunteers, spreads across New 

Zealand. 

“I believe and advocate for 

every town in New Zealand 

having a library because it 

would increase the stoke and the 

level of surfing and happiness,” 

Sampaio said. 

A key priority of the library is 

to increase sustainability in the 

sport. 

The volunteers are not looking 

for broken surfboards, but 

can repair and recycle them

for future use. “Most of the 

surfboard industry of the big 

brands have boards that are 

quite breakable and they don’t 

last more than a year or two. We 

try to repair as many boards as 

we can and put them out there 

and take care of them.” 

Sampaio said they will assess 

the difficulty of repairing a 

board before it is accepted for 

donation. 

Experimentation is 

encouraged, with Sampaio 

hoping people will try out 

different types of surfboards 

from the library to find what 

they enjoy. 

“You don’t need to go out and 

buy five different boards. You 

can borrow what you need at the 

time. 

“If you know the forecast 

(waves are) going to be a bit 

bigger or smaller then you can 

come and borrow a different 

board for that specific week.” 

The library operates under 

an honour system, with people 

signing an agreement promising 

to return the surfboards they 

borrow. 

Sampaio credited the 

Sumner Community Residents’ 

Association and Hub for 

providing the library with a 

garage at 57 Nayland St.

Tug society 

holds out 

hope 

• From page 1 

“We really don’t want to 

consider the fact we might not get 

the funding,” said Bruce. 

“We all believe we’re going to 

have a breakthrough moment.” 

The society is hopeful the tug 

will receive the necessary funding 

and refit within a year. 

A givealittle page has been set 

up to help crowdfund, but this 

has only brought in small sums 

to date. 

Bruce said the tug will need 

much larger grants to achieve its 

funding goal. 

Despite the challenges, it could 

be years until the society calls it 

quits on the tug as long as members 

stay passionate and keep up 

basic maintenance, said Bruce. 

The preservation society’s 

trained volunteers maintain the 

tug at weekly sessions, which 

Bruce said have a “phenomenal 

turnout”. 

The $300,000 refit is only the 

start of a long-term plan for a 

$1.5 million modernisation of the 

vessel. 

This would include a new 

rear canopy, visual aids and 

information for tour guests, and 

an interior renovation to make the 

tug more attractive for visitors. 

THE LYTTELTON steam tug 

has a 116-year-long history. 

Built in 1907 by the Ferguson 

Brothers firm in Glasgow, it came 

to Lyttelton via the newly completed 

Suez Canal. It served as 

the port’s main tug until World 

War 2. 

Initially called Canterbury, 


ALL ABOARD: The Lyttelton tug has been used for harbour 

cruises since it was retired in 1971. 

its name was changed to 

Lyttelton in 1911. 

The vessel drew massive crowds 

in 1913 when it tugged the 

battlecruiser HMS New Zealand 

into harbour, and again in 1920 

when it assisted the battlecruiser 

HMS Renown, which was 

carrying King Edward VIII when 

The tug was built in Glasgow in 1907 and was initially 

called Canterbury. Below – boys from three children’s 

homes on a Christmas harbour cruise in 1970. 

Lyttelton’s long life well lived 

he was Prince of Wales during 

his tour of New Zealand. 

In 1942, the tug was requisitioned 

for service and armed by 

the Royal New Zealand Navy. 

She returned to normal port 

service in 1944. 

Following the introduction of 

the new tug Canterbury, the tug 

was retired in 1971. 

A museum ship ever since, 

it was leased for $2 a year to 

the Tug Lyttelton Preservation 

Society. In 1989, the society was 

gifted full ownership of the tug 

by the Lyttelton Harbour Board. 

It has maintained it up to present 

day, moored at Z wharf.

Group sets sights on green energy future 


SOLAR PANELS on city council 

buildings and communityowned 

energy are part of the 

grand vision of the new Lyttelton 

Energy Transition Society. 

The group was first 

conceptualised in October by 

bays residents who want to see a 

faster local transition to cheaper 

and greener energy. 

“Our focus is on climate 

change, renewables and the lack 

of ability in the current energy 

sector to address 

climate change,” 

said committee 

member Thomas 

Kulpe. 

The society 

was recently 

registered and 

is awaiting 

approval for 

charitable status. 

Thomas 

Kulpe 

One of the group’s first goals 

is to help finance solar panels for 

city council facilities, especially 

the Lyttelton Recreation Centre. 

“That has the purpose 

of increasing resilience in 

Lyttelton if there were prolonged 

power outages like in Cyclone 

Gabrielle,” Kulpe said. 

The society wants to partner 

with the council and energy 

companies to make these 

installations happen. 

SUN POWER: One of the society’s first goals is to install solar panels on Lyttelton’s city 

council facilities such as the recreation centre. 

“We will hopefully be able to 

finance panels through grants or 

through crowdfunding.” 

Kulpe hopes Lyttelton 

residents will get behind the 

vision and the society’s longterm 

goal of more communityowned 

energy. 

“We have the idea of having 

public talks and workshops in 

Lyttelton and hopefully raise 

interest and awareness.” 

The society is inspired by 

micro-grid communities in 

Australia and Europe, where 

large residential areas have their 

own power source with only one 

connection to the general grid. 

“Generation, storage, and 

distribution of electricity by the 

community. That is the longterm 

vision for us.” 

From Diamond Harbour 

himself, Kulpe said establishing 

more renewable energy for 

Lyttelton buildings would be 

positive for whole harbour area. 

“There’s many places and 

activities in Lyttelton that people 

always migrate to.” 

The society is appealing for 

more members, especially those 

with connections to fundraising 

or renewable energy. 

“We’re still in the set-up 

phase, hopefully we’ll get more 

members once we have public 

meetings and start putting 

ourselves out there more in the 

community.” 

One of the society’s first 

public engagements was at the 

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

meeting on March 11. 

The society has been cofounded 

by Wendy Everingham, 

information centre manager, 

Patricia Scott, environmental 

activist, electrician Sam Tweedie 

and Greg Preston, manager 

at the Building Innovation 

Partnership based out of 

Canterbury University.

Enzo Ferrari 

The definitive biography of Enzo Ferrari 

by Luca Dal Monte 

Soon to be an AppleTV+ series, Enzo uncovers a wealth of new facts about the origins, 

ambitions, and private life of Enzo Ferrari. Drawing on years of original research 

conducted in Italy and abroad, this book lays bare the hidden aspects of Ferrari’s 

career. From his earliest failed business ventures, to his political dealings with Italy’s 

fascist government, Allied occupiers, and even Communist leaders. Revisit all the 

highlights of Ferrari’s rise to greatness. Including his driving career in the 1920s, his 

management of racing teams for Alfa Romeo in the 1930s and the launch of his own 

company and team in the late 1940s. A must have for Ferrari and Formula 1 fans, this 

definitive biography makes previous accounts obsolete. 

The Doctor of Hiroshima 

His heart-breaking and inspiring true life story 

by Dr. Michihiko Hachiya 

With what this poor woman had been through the sight of her crying tore at my 

heartstrings. What if something should happen to her; who would care for her little 

baby? To conceal the fear and terror in my heart I left her, trying to put up a cheerful 

front. But no one could conceal from her the ominous import of the dark spots that had 

appeared on her chest. The Doctor of Hiroshima is the extraordinary true story of Dr 

Michihiko Hachiya, whose hospital was less than a mile from the centre of the atomic 

bomb that hit on that warm August day. In immense shock and pain, he and his wife 

Yaeko dragged themselves to the devastated hospital building and what colleagues 

they could find. In time, they begin to heal, and start to treat the impossible numbers of 

patients - a small girl covered in burns, an elderly man with pneumonia, a young boy 

and his little sister looking for their parents. They also began to investigate the strange 

unexplainable symptoms afflicting his patients - things he never dreamed he would 

see... Told simply and poignantly in Dr Hachiya’s own words, The Doctor of Hiroshima 

is a unique and deeply moving human story of survival about a small, committed 

band of hospital staff in the face of unthinkable destruction and loss.

Beyond Hope 

From an Auckland prison to changing lives in Afghanistan 

by Bariz Shah 

At age 18, Bariz Shah found himself in an Auckland prison. He’d defined his life by the 

way others treated him: as an Afghan migrant after 9/11 and as a boy who kept making 

mistakes. Picking fights and robbing dairies, Bariz spiralled into crime and drugs - until 

prison made him rethink the story of his life. Inside, Bariz met men who helped him set 

his life on track. He rediscovered his faith, found purpose and learned how to silence 

the devil on his shoulder. Years later, in Christchurch, Bariz had turned his life around 

when a gunman walked into the local mosque and took 51 lives of people Bariz knew 

and loved. Grieving and thrust into a position of leadership, Bariz reflected on hate, hope 

and positive change. A memoir about the journey from boy to man, Bariz talks about his 

search for belonging, purpose and self-belief. It’s a reminder we are made, not born, and 

that we always have the power to change ourselves for the better.

A GOVERNORS Bay man has 

cycled 1500km down the South 

Island to raise money for a cause 

close to his heart. 

Terry White said his 10- 

day trip was challenging, but 

worthwhile to raise funds for 

mental health charity I Am 

Hope. 

“I’m pretty proud of my efforts, 

physically and mentally I was 

well outside of my comfort zone.” 

The 47-year-old father of two 

decided to embark on the trip 

after losing a friend to suicide in 

2022. 

“Like many, he had struggled 

with mental health for a long 

time and from the outside 

seemed to mostly have things 

under control.” 

White said the long trip was 

far beyond any cycling he had 

done before. 

“Most of my riding the last 

few years has been once or twice 

with friends for a few hours. 

Definitely nothing like this.” 

He spent the past six months 

training for the trip, which 

started in Ship Cove in Queen 

Charlotte Sound and ended in 

Milford Sound. 

The biggest challenge White 

faced on the trip was on day six, 

when he got sick with 92km left 

to ride to Tekapo. 

“Knowing why I was riding 


Personal link spurs epic cycle 

ride for mental health charity 

FINISH LINE: Governors Bay resident Terry White at the end 

of his 1500km trip in Milford Sound. He is nearing his $5000 

goal, raising funds for the I Am Hope charity. 

and who I was riding for made 

me keep pushing through the 

thoughts of pulling out and 

giving up,” he said. 

White found it peaceful 

travelling solo for the whole trip. 

“Spending that long riding 

gives you a lot of time to think 

and talk through everything 

that is in your head.” 

White’s days varied in 

distance, but he generally cycled 

for 10-12 hours, then slept in his 

tent or at a backpackers. 

A highlight of the trip was the 

vista of Nevis Valley in Otago. 

“Peaceful and wide open 

country with big sky and 

stunning views, no headphones 

to distract me that day.” 

White wishes everyone 

had access to the counselling 

services I Am Hope offers, to 

help manage mental health 

struggles sooner in life. 

“If just one of those sessions 

stops a family from feeling 

the pain of losing a child, or 

watching their child struggle 

with their mental health, it will 

have been all worthwhile,” he 

said of his trip. 

White is close to achieving his 

$5000 goal.

Fire still a 

concern 

as bike park 

reopens 

THE THREAT of fire is becoming 

an increasing concern for 

Christchurch Adventure Park, its 

manager says. 

Fire tore through 650ha of forest 

and scrub on the Port Hills last 

month. The blaze spread to the 

adventure park, which had to 

be closed for the second time in 

seven years due to wildfire. 

Park manager 

Anne Newman 

(right) said last 

month’s fire has 

definitely left workers 

with a sense of 

déjà vu from the 

2017 fires. The park 

is set to reopen tomorrow following 

the month-long closure. In 

2017, it was closed for nearly a year 

while repairs were carried out. 

The fire has also left staff 

with concerns about the future, 

Newman said. 

“Fire seems to be becoming a 

more common occurrence and 

it’s pretty worrying for us as a 

business in terms of the ongoing 

impacts. We’re doing obviously 

everything we can around fire 

breaks and making sure that we’ve 

got all the measures in place that 

we possibly can.”

Community 

chats with 

Civil Defence 


AS PART of the next stage of 

preparing for disasters, the 

Lyttelton Emergency Hub 

is hosting the community 

conversations series with Civil 

Defence. 

Civil Defence community 

resilience co-ordinator Rachel 

Hunt will be the guest speaker 

for four events, the first tomorrow 

evening at 6.30pm. 

The talks will highlight hazards 

such as earthquakes and 

the Alpine Fault, flooding and 

adverse weather, and tsunamis. 

Emergency hub facilitator Felicite 

Jardine said the talks were 

a good way to bring attention to 

the hub’s mission of high-level 

community preparedness 

without the need for immediate 

government assistance. 

“It’ll be a good way of getting 

our message out into the community. 

I’d also like to hope that 

we get a few more volunteers out 

of it. 

“Civil Defence have a great 

relationship with Lyttelton 

Emergency Hub and we will 

continue to work together to 

improve community resilience 

in the area.” 

The meetings will be at 40

Riders eye milestone victory 

in 25th edition of Le Race 

THE CYCLING community will 

be celebrating a special milestone 

on Saturday when 600 riders 

line up for the 25 th edition of the 

Golden Homes Le Race. 

Since its inception in 1999, 

the 100km race from Cathedral 

Square to Akaroa has featured 

big names in the sport, as well 

as some of the most eccentric 

weekend warriors. 

The tough climbs over Dyers 

Pass, Gebbies Pass, Hilltop and 

the Summit Rd over the years 

have attracted some top fields, 

and the Hall of Fame includes 

a long list of world champions, 

Olympic medallists and Commonwealth 

Games winners like 

Brian Fowler, Hayden Roulston 

and Kate McIlroy. 

Some of those competed in the 

heyday of their careers, while 

other young New Zealand talents 

used Le Race as a stepping stone 

to a professional career on the 

cycling world tour. 

“Those names are a great 

reflection of the high regard Le 

Race is held in cycling circles,” 

said race organiser Sheree Stevens. 

“It has been wonderful so 

see those same young kids we 

first met at the starting line in 


FIRST: Sharlotte Lucas on her way to win 2023 Golden 

Holmes Le Race. Top left – Daniel Whitehouse in 2019. 

Cathedral Square later pop up on 

the podium in Europe or the US, 

and of course makes us incredibly 

proud.” 

This year’s field will include 

defending champions Sharlotte 

Lucas and Jonty Harris, as well 

as previous two-time winner 

Daniel Whitehouse and Australian-turned-Kiwi 

pro rider 

Matilda Raynolds. 

Stevens said her event has 

faced the same challenges as 

other sports events in recent 

years and Le Race was virtually 

on life support after the double 

cancellation in 2020 and 2022 

due to the pandemic. 

“Other events organisers may 

have pulled the pin, but this is 

such a special race and we just 

love our cycling community too 

much to let this amazing event 

die a quiet death. Not on my 

watch,” says Stevens, who adds 

that increased competition from 

other events, notably mountain-bike 

competitions has also 

challenged the viability of classic 

road race. 

The race also conflicts with 

Sail GP in Lyttelton on this 

weekend. 

Stevens is grateful for the New 

Zealand community for reciprocating 

her commitment to Le 

Race by again signing up in large 

numbers for the gruelling climbs 

over the Port Hills. 

“That’s what keeps us all 

coming back, their love for this 

special event. And the big smiles 

on everyone’s faces when they 

share their battle stories over a 

beer in Akaroa.”

Knitting for the good of her community 


MARIE RHODES has spent 

countless evenings knitting 

since she was child. During 

her retirement, she and fellow 

knitters have sold goods with 

all proceeds supporting quality 

healthcare for Akaroa. 

The 74-year-old started selling 

knitted wares at street markets in 

SALE 

2017 as part of a broader mission 

of fundraising for the Akaroa 

Health Centre. 

“I feel passionately about 

Akaroa and Banks Peninsula, 

and we need to have a really 

good health system. I mean, I’m 

getting closer to needing the 

old people’s home myself,” said 

Marie. 

She is part of the Guardians of 

Akaroa Health which was was 

formed in 1991 by volunteers 

committed to improving services 

at the Akaroa Hospital. 

After the building was 

demolished due to earthquake 

damage, the guardians started 

supporting the replacement 

health centre which opened in 


Marie’s sales have raised more 

than $70,000 for the centre since 


The funds have been used for 

art classes, to buy a wheelchair 

van, televisions, bed tables and 

low-rise beds, all with the goal 

of improving quality of life for 

the centre’s long-term elderly 

residents. 

Marie believes supporting the 

retirement and health facilities 

at the centre is a key way to keep 

families and young people in 

Akaroa. 

“It’s important to keep the 

community alive, so we can keep 

our young people here. We need 

young people to give the town its 

vitality.” 

Since early last year, Marie has 

sold the knitted goods from a 

small shop opposite Pot Pourri 

on Rue Lavaud. 

A team of about 20 volunteers 

helps her run the shop and knit 

the goods. 

“Some people send in their 

knitting. They’re from many 

places in New Zealand. They’ve 

had good experiences with the 

health centre or their family has, 

so they see it as a good cause.” 

Marie said she could not 

operate the knitting shop 

without the efforts of others. 

“We’ve got quite a few elderly 

people who don’t get out much, 

have got limited mobility, but 

they can still knit and crochet.” 

Her favourite items to craft are 

blankets and children’s clothes. 

“I do enjoy knitting very much. 

I like playing with the yarn and 

the colours, the creativity of it. 

And it’s relaxing.”

The shop runs on yarn donated 

from the community. 

“People who can’t knit and 

crochet give us yarn, or volunteer 

down at the shop which is very 

helpful.” 

The hardworking resident 

expects the knitting operation to 

run for many years to come. 

“The health centre is absolutely 

wonderful but there’s always 

things that they need. These 

things can potentially cost 

thousands, so we do have to 

keep fundraising to help make 

people’s lives more comfortable.” 

She is always looking for more 

volunteers to help run the shop 

or knit. 

Interested people can visit the 

shop during opening hours on 

Saturdays from 10am to 3pm. 

Marie was a recognised for her 

work during the last city council

Jobs for Nature’s 

impact tangible 

as funding ends 

Over the next few 

months, Jobs for Nature 

projects across the 

country will hang up 

their spades and put 

away their gumboots 

for the last time. Lily 

Duval from Kaimahi for 

Nature Whakaraupō 

spoke to conservation 

teams across Lyttelton 

Harbour about their 

mixed emotions as the 

end of the programme 

draws closer 

LAUNCHED IN 2020 by the 

Labour government, Jobs for 

Nature’s primary purpose was to 

help those impacted by Covid-19 

find jobs in conservation. 

By September 2023, the 

scheme had employed 13,350 

people and invested more than 

$1.2 billion in green employment. 

The funds helped groups up 

and down the country achieve 

environmental goals, from tackling 

the march of wilding pines 

to supporting threatened species 

or restoring vast swathes of land 

to indigenous plant cover. 

Evidence of the funding is 

everywhere in Lyttelton Harbour 

– tens of thousands of trees have 

been planted on the hills, thousands 

of introduced predators 

have been trapped, and invasive 

weeds have been uprooted. 

The plantings will help stop 

sediment flowing off the hills 

into the harbour, improving the 

quality of both freshwater and 

marine habitats, and it will also 

mitigate fire risk. 

Harbour conservation teams 

hope new forests will attract 

native species like tūī and the 

orange-fronted parakeet. 

Predator control efforts have 

given native birds, lizards and 

bugs a reprieve and support wider 

efforts to create a predator free 

Banks Peninsula. 

Weed control work has given 

native plants a chance to take 

root and recloak the hills. 

Kaimahi for Nature Whakaraupō 

is one of the largest Jobs 

for Nature projects in the South 

Island. 

It is a partnership between 

Ngāti Wheke, Living Springs and 

Conservation Volunteers New 

Zealand. 

Two field teams are operated 

from Living Springs and Rāpaki. 

The project has planted more 

than 70,000 native trees and 

trapped thousands of rats, 

possums and stoats over the past 

three years. 

Orton Bradley Park and the 

city council also received funding 

and were able to upscale their 

conservation work. 

Kaimahi for Nature 

Whakaraupō includes Te 

Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, Living 

Springs, Conservation 

Volunteers New Zealand: 

$4,500,000 

· Planted 70,000+ native 

trees, shrubs and grasses. 

· Employed 30 people 

over three years. 

· Controlled 1090ha for 

predators. Trapped 1404 

possums, 1605 rats and 205 

mustelids. 

· Built 9km of fencing. 

For all these groups, the 

financial boost allowed them to 

achieve environmental goals that 

were otherwise out of reach. 

“The Jobs for Nature scheme 

was a fantastic initiative, in my 

opinion,” said Living Springs 

field team leader Grant Whitehead. 

“It really helped drive a lot of 

these projects forward. It gave 

employment to a lot of people.” 

Living Springs field officer 

Daniel Ho said the impact of 

their work is already easy to see. 

“When you take a walk in the 

forest compared to two years 

ago, you can tell the difference. 

And you have local landowners 

around here that also comment 

on the difference. They’ve 

stopped hearing the hideous 

screeching of possums, and the 

bird life is much better. It’s a 

quality-of-life improvement for 

everyone around here.” 

Kaimahi for Nature Whakaraupō 

was unable to find 

funding to keep the field teams 

active. 

March 31 will be their final day 

in the field. 

The teams are sad to see the 

project end, and many are concerned 

about the future. 

Whitehead worries much of 

their hard work could be undone 

in the coming years. 

“I struggle with the fact that 

this billion-dollar Jobs for 

Nature programme is just going 

to be finishing up with no real 

funding put aside for further 

work, especially when we have 

such big challenges with the 

environment,” he said. 

“Reinvasions of predators and 

pest plants like wilding pines 

are major issues for us. They’re 

like cancer on your land. How 

to remove them without control, 

I’m uncertain.” 

Despite concerns over the 

future, the teams have no doubt 

Jobs for Nature will leave behind 

a positive legacy. 

They hope community volunteer 

groups set up by Kaimahi 

for Nature Whakaraupō can 

look after some of the plant sites 

and the trapping lines. 

These include the Living

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

First female MP broke through barriers 

• By Liz Grant 

ELIZABETH McCOMBS won 

the seat of Lyttelton in 1933, 

becoming the first woman in New 

Zealand to be elected a Member 

of Parliament. It was a convincing 

win, with a majority of 2669 votes 

over the two men who had been 

her rivals. 

This was a by-election brought 

about by the death of her husband, 

James McCombs, the Labour 

MP for Lyttelton. Elizabeth had 

stood unsuccessfully in other 

Christchurch seats in the elections 

of 1928 and 1931. This time, her 

candidacy was well supported 

locally. 

Labour Party leader Harry 

Holland was a strong supporter, 

and Elizabeth was introduced as 

the candidate at the Excelsior Hall 

in Ōhinehou Lyttelton on August 

21. She formally opened her 

campaign at the Oddfellows Hall 

on August 25 and went on to that 

resounding victory. 

On the evening of her success, 

a crowd of about 2000 gathered, 

in dreadful weather, below the 

balcony of Warner’s Hotel in 

Cathedral Square to hear her 

speak. 

New Zealand proudly claims 

to be the first country in the 

world to grant women the right 

to vote (in 1893), but the right of 

women to stand for Parliament 

did not come with the right to 

vote. It would take another 26 

years and the passing of the 

Women’s Parliamentary Rights 

Act 1919 before women could put 

themselves forward as candidates. 

It was 14 years later when 

Elizabeth McCombs took her 

seat in the house. There was still 

resistance to the very idea with a 

letter to the editor published in 

the Christchurch Press capturing 

the prevailing attitude: “I hope 

TRAILBLAZER: Elizabeth Reid McCombs, née Henderson circa 1919-1925. Right, Elizabeth McCombs at Lyttelton harbour 

christening Madame Hoover, a motorboat built by J. Miller Ltd for J. Scott Ramsey of Wellington, 23 November 1928. 

PHOTOS: CHRISTCHURCH CITY LIBRARIES/CHRISTCHURCH STAR ARCHIVE 

Mrs McCombs will have the 

distinction of being the last and 

only woman in Parliament.” The 

writer’s disdain for McCombs and 

her “sentimental absent minded” 

supporters was palpable, labelling 

them “masculine women and 

feminine men”. 

Elizabeth McCombs was no 

newbie and would have taken 

little notice of those opinions. 

Her husband had been an MP for 

nine years and she had spent a 

lot of time in Parliament’s public 

gallery. She was familiar with the 

way Parliament worked and was 

in no way intimidated by it. 

The welfare of women and girls, 

workers and the unemployed, was 

her key focus. 

Born Elizabeth Reid 

Henderson, she was the eighth 

of nine children. Like her three 

older sisters, she was involved 

with the socialist Progressive 

Liberal Association in Ōtautahi 

Christchurch. One of the 

association’s goals was to increase 

the political rights of women. 

It was through the association 

Elizabeth met James McCombs, a 

committed socialist. They married 

in 1903. Elizabeth was also a 

prominent figure in the Women’s 

Christian Temperance Union and 

the National Council of Women. 

James had become an MP in 

1913, having stood for the Social 

Democratic Party. In 1916, he 

was elected the first president of 

the second New Zealand Labour 

Party, and Elizabeth was elected 

onto the party executive. In 1921, 

she was the second woman to be

elected to the Christchurch City 

Council. 

It was thanks to her efforts a 

crèche and women’s restroom 

was built in Cathedral Square. 

She became chair of the council 

electricity committee and was on 

the hospital and tramway boards. 

In 1926, she was one of the 

first women in New Zealand to 

be made a Justice of the Peace. 

It was a strong track record that 

underpinned her parliamentary 

success. 

When she was elected to 

Parliament, Labour was in 

opposition and there was limited 

opportunity for Elizabeth to push 

through the causes to which she 

was dedicated, but she worked 

extremely hard in the house and 

in her electorate. 

Increasingly, this took a toll on 

her health, which had never been 

robust due to asthma. Only two 

years after she had taken her seat, 

she died in hospital in Wellington 

on June 7, 1935, aged just 61. 

Elizabeth had earned a great 

deal of respect during her time in 

Parliament and flags were flown 

at half-mast across the country. 

Later in Christchurch, thousands 

lined the route for the funeral 

procession to Waimairi Cemetery. 

Michael Joseph Savage, then 

leader of the Labour Party, 

eulogised that “her passing has 

created a gap in the ranks of 

the Labour Party that will be 

hard to fill”, noting as the first 

female elected to New Zealand’s 

Parliament she effectively 

disproved the belief women are 

inferior to men in governance 

through her “outstanding 

abilities”. 

Elizabeth McCombs’ portrait 

is on the wall in the Women’s 

Suffrage Room in the New 

Zealand Parliament. She and her 

husband are commemorated by 

the McCombs Memorial Garden 

in Woolston Park.

Toyota’s versatile, practical hybrid wagon 

IT WAS ONE of the first 

Japanese station wagons sold in 

this country when it launched in 

1966. Fast forward to 2023 and 

now it’s among the last. 

Traditional body styles such 

as wagons have been obliterated 

here over the last decade, by 

the seemingly never-ending 

obsession Kiwi new car buyers 

have with SUVs, and these days 

they are bombarded with choice. 

Other markets including Europe 

and the UK haven’t fallen out of 

love with wagons to the same 

extent as us. 

For almost a year, the trimmed 

down Corolla line-up sold 

here, including the wagon, 

are all powered by Toyota’s 

popular hybrid petrol-electric 

powertrain. The ‘go all hybrid’ 

is being driven on two fronts. 

One is buyer demand, with the 

other, Toyota’s push to reduce 

the carbon footprint of their new 

vehicle sales in New Zealand. 

From an affordability 

perspective, with so many 

Toyota models available with 

hybrid-electric technology, 

they have inevitably morphed 

into a mainstream customer 

choice. These days, the cost of 

buying one of the company’s new 

hybrid-electrics compared to a 

petrol-only model has become 

negligible. 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

The champion Corolla has 

a well-proven track record for 

reliability spanning the decades. 

This latest model debuted 

here in 2021 offering superior 

refinement, performance, build 

quality, and ride and handling, 

compared to its predecessor that 

didn’t have an abundance of 

any of these attributes. Hardly 

surprising though. It was a 

Japanese domestic market model 

and we were one of the few 

places outside of Japan where it 

was sold, primarily to plug the 

wagon gap in the Toyota NZ 

Corolla range. 

There’s a likeable sophistication 

about its styling, with the lower 

grille showcasing its extra width 

and LED headlights that wrap 

around and delicately blend 

into the front guards. Only one 

model, the $36,995 Japanese 

built entry entry-level GX being 

road tested here, is available on 

our market. 

Up until the end of last year, 

this latest Corolla wagon missed 

out on the punchy 125kw 

2.0-litre petrol motor used in its 

hatchback and sedan siblings. 

Instead, it had to get by with 

an aging 1.8-litre petrol motor 

renowned for its longevity and 

good fuel economy but not a lot 

else. There is another string to its 

bow and that’s versatility. 

For almost decade it was the 

petrol component in a raft of 

Toyota models with its acclaimed 

petrol/electric hybrid system. 

Recently it received a useful 

and long overdue power bump 

from 90kW to 103kW. It’s now 

smoother and more refined than 

the hybrid system it replaces, but 

a fair chunk of this goes out the 

door under full throttle. 

The new found heft is most 

noticeable in town driving where 

the test wagon coasted for longer 

periods on flat terrain in EV 

mode only at speeds of up to 

50km/h. Its star doesn’t shine so 

brightly on the open road where 

acceleration for overtaking 

slower traffic is on the leisurely 

side. 

Engaging the transmission’s 

‘Sport’ mode puts a bit more 

spring in its performance step in 

these situations, but only does, 

if you will excuse the pun, a 

passable job. I could only wonder 

how good this wagon would 

be with the excellent 135kW 

2.0-litre petrol-electric hybrid 

system used in the Corolla Cross 

SUV. People in the UK know as 

it’s used in the high-spec Corolla 

Touring wagon sold in that part 

of the world. 

The 1.8-litre hybrid system 

used in the GX that’s the subject 

of this review features in the 

more modestly equipped Corolla 

wagons that Toyota serves up to 

the Brits. 

The 2.0-litre hybrid offers 

a much larger dollop of 

performance, enabling it to 

charge through the 0–100km/h 

dash in 7.5 seconds. That’s about 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 6; Handling 7; Build Quality 

7; Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 6; Value for 

money: 7; Safety – ANCAP not rated. 

Overall points out of 10: 7 

three seconds quicker than the 

1.8-litre hybrid. A Continuously 

Variable Transmission (CVT) 

automatic provides a consistently 

seamless and pleasant ,but far 

from gear shifting, regime. 

This is the largest Corolla 

wagon so far, although a roofline 

that slopes away steeply toward 

the rear of the vehicle does 

compromise load height. 

Like the Corolla hatch, rear 

seat space is tight especially 

head and legroom. Overall it 

isn’t a commodious load hauler 

of people or cargo. A refreshed 

cabin features pleasant yet hard 

wearing fabric seats, smart key 

entry with push button start. 

This wagon earned bragging 

rights by being the first Toyota 

sold here with Apple CarPlay 

and Android Auto all accessed 

via a new 7-inch touchscreen. 

Making it on to the list of 

standard equipment is a smallish 

4.2-inch touchscreen display, 

air-conditioning, heated exterior 

mirrors and modest four-speaker 

audio system. 

It get a ‘high five’ from me for 

its push button engine start and 

headlights that automatically dip 

at night for on-coming traffic. 

Toyota’s excellent Safety Sense 

technology package is standard 

with impressive pedestrian and 

cyclist detection capabilities. 

Other noteworthy inclusions are 

autonomous emergency braking, 

all speed dynamic radar cruise 

control, plus a bunch of other 

safety tech you wouldn’t expect 

to find in small wagon in this 

price bracket. 

Like its hatch sibling, 

this model is also built on 

Toyota’s excellent New Global 

Architecture (TNGA) platform. 

It creates a lower centre of 

gravity, and greater body 

rigidity to provide more assured 

handling and stability. 

Handling is a vast 

improvement on the Corolla 

wagons that have followed in 

the tracks of this one. Generally, 

the suspension reacts quickly to 

sudden and unexpected changes 

in direction by either the driver, 

or instigated without warning by 

sub-standard road surfaces. 

Less engaging steering than 

the Corolla hatch reflects the fact 

that the wagon is tuned for the 

Japanese market. There, drivers 

prefer steering with a softer more 

comfortable feel, rather than set 

ups with sporty aspirations and 

intent. 

While both the handling and 

steering of the wagon lack the 

crispness of the hatch, it works fine 

in a vehicle focused on practicality 

and versatility, not being a crowd 

pleaser on the sporty drive front.

HIGHLIGHTS OF LYTTELTON


Sail into the wonderful SeaSide 

town of LytteLton

whole day. Home to SailGP for 2024, it’s the perfect place to soak up the atmosphere before, during and after the racing. 

Start with Brunch 

And coffee 

The dining scene in Lyttelton is supreme, and that 

starts with breakfast or brunch. 

For coffee lovers, a morning spent at Spooky Boogie is 

always a great idea. The coffee experts will ensure you are 

properly caffeinated, and you can even top up on some 

freshly roasted coffee beans while you’re there. Sip and 

browse as you explore the quirky shop filled with art, gifts 

and records. 

For a hearty breaky that focuses on plantbased 

food, head straight for The Shroom 

Room. Serving up vegetarian and vegan 

delights, the restaurant offers a tasty sit-in 

menu as well as delicious cabinet food to 

grab for on the go. 

For the iconic Lyttelton breakfast 

experience, check out Lyttelton 

Coffee Culture. The cafe stands 

strong and is as popular as ever, 

with one-of-a-kind service, strong 

brews, wholesome food and 

sustainability at the fore. 

Since you are in Lyttelton, an iconic 

bite to try is Hope River Pies. 

Trust us when we say these 

pies are seriously good. Craig 

Minehan has been making pies 

for Christchurch for over 18 

years, so you can guarantee 

he has mastered the art of 

a perfect pie. Perfect for a quick bite on the go, opt 

for one of the classic flavours or something more 

adventurous. Vegetarian options are also available. 

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Lyttelton breakfast 

highlight without a mention 

of The Farmers’ Market. 

Taking place every Saturday 

from 10am-1pm, the market is 

home to a collection of local 

vendors who not only sell 

fresh produce, eggs, meat 

and bread but also the most 

delicious options for a flavourpacked

Meander 

Through The 

Boutique StoreS 

Once you are fuelled for the day, it’s time 

for a wander around the charming streets 

of Lyttelton township. London Street is 

home to many small artisan businesses 

that sell handcrafted, unique treasures, 

so you will love checking out the different 

offerings and unique products 

available. 

Check out Henry Trading for 

ethically and locally sourced gifts 

and goods and one-off finds, Ata 

Ceramics for beautiful, handcrafted 

ceramics, Harbour Co-op for 

organic wholefoods, Lyttelton Street 

Vintage for hidden gems or the Lyttel 

Kiwi Gift Shop where you will find 

products from over 35 small New Zealand 

businesses and artists. 

It truly is a town full of treasures to be 

found, so be sure to pick out something 

special. 

TiMe For Thrills 

on the Water 

It is time to head out on the water and 

explore a little further afield, and Black 

Cat Cruises know how to show off the 

coolest little areas and islands nearby. 

Tucked close against the southern shore 

of Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour, the 

small island of Ripapa is an amazing spot 

to check out. Home to a fortified pa built by 

Ngāi Tahu, and what would later become a 

fortress to defend against possible Russian 

attacks, Ripapa is full of incredible history. 

There are other islands to explore too, 

including Quail Island and Diamond 

Harbour, each with unique beauty, wildlife 

and history to be found. 

an aFTernoon 

refreSh 

After a day fuelled with fun, sun and 

good times, a refreshment is in order, 

and Lyttelton’s bar scene is one of the 

greatest pockets of local hospitality in 

Ōtautahi. 

Eruption Brewing is the place to go for all craft beer 

lovers. The locally owned micro-brewery, bar and 

restaurant in the heart of Lyttelton makes authentic 

handcrafted beers using New Zealand ingredients. Plus, 

the views of the harbour are second to none. 

If you want to experience the local vibe, 

head to Civil and Naval. It’s small and 

intimate, with a thoughtful offering of 

drinks and seasonal sharing plates. 

Whatever you do, don’t go past the Civil 

Fried Chicken with Big Mac Sauce. 

For a true Lyttelton experience, a visit 

to Wunderbar is a must. Priding itself on 

all things odd and unique, you’ll find a 

space like no other and a vibe that is as weird as it is 

wonderful. Known for groovy music gigs, Wunderbar is a 

great place to grab a drink and hopefully catch some of 

the regular local musicians.

Dinner at one of the town’s restaurants is the very best way to 

round out a delightful day in Lyttelton. 

Bomba is a local favourite for pizza and gelato. Situated on London

bites at their relaxed, alfresco courtyard. 

Overlooking the idyllic Lyttelton Harbour, Fisherman’s Wharf is 

where you will find the freshest seafood prepared with maximum

seafood is caught only a few kilometres from their restaurant before 

it lands on your table. Dive into Fisherman’s most popular dish, the 

Seafood Sizzle Plate – a medley of fresh fish, shellfish and squid 

served on coconut-infused jasmine rice. 

Sherpa Kai is another local gem that serves tasty, Napali-inspired 

dishes. With locally sourced ingredients at the centre, the team

MaritiMe History 

Lyttelton has a fascinating history, and there are 

a few ways to learn and experience the stories of 

Lyttelton’s past while visiting the town. 

A rare piece of maritime history, Lyttelton’s 

Timeball is a reminder of the town’s important 

maritime location. The Timeball Station is open 

to the public and boasts spectacular views over 

Lyttelton Harbour. Timeball stations were important 

visual signals in many of the world’s ports, enabling 

correct ships’ chronometers and accurate 

navigation. However, many were discontinued after 

dinner that will satisfy your taste buds. You’ll find 

great options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free 

requirements, too. 

For Japanese Māori inspired deliciousness, be sure 

to check out SUPER. With a focus on fresh, local 

and organic ingredients, their dishes take flavourful 

cuisine to new heights. 

The menu is full of 

mouth-watering options 

- try the okonomiyaki

or one of their steamed

Lyttelton torpedo boat and an example of a steam 

engine that once powered it. Check out the scale
