The Wairau Plain is the surface developed on the postglacial and last glaciation deposits of the lower Wairau valley from "The Narrows" (just upstream of the Waihopai River junction) to Cloudy Bay (Fig. 2). PREVIOUS WORK The geology of the Wairau valley was summarised by Lensen (1962) and Beck (1964). Quaternary tectonics have been considered by Cotton (1954), Eiby (1973), and Lensen (1976). Various workers have discussed the evolution of the coastal part of the Wairau Plain. Cotton (1913) and Jobberns (1928) supposed that the lower plain formed as a delta of the Wairau River, whereas Wild (1915), Jobberns (1935), and Pickrill (1976) suggested that the plain formed as a result of infilling with sand, silt, and clay (by the Wairau River) of a lagoonal system, a remnant of which survives to the present day as the Wairau Lagoons, partially enclosed by a w 50 100 150 barrier spit (Boulder Bank). km.

Mr Dodson moved for a vote of £50 for the School in Marlboroughtown, but a vigorous discussion arose upon it regarding Educational finance, in which Mr Seymour announced that Government would not consent to the various items for school buildings, and upon the particular subject being put to the vote it was lost. 11th June 1873 The following petition, signed by fourteen persons, was presented .to the Provincial Council by Mr George Dodson; To his Honor the Superintendent and Provincial Council of Marlborough, in Council assembled We, the undersigned residents of Spring Creek and Marlboroughtown, do humbly beg that your Honorable Council will take into consideration this our humble petition. That we have for some years felt the necessity of establishing a school in our district, and having done so we now find a great difficulty in providing the necessary funds for its maintenance, and we do humbly pray that your Honorable Council will grant such assistance as will enable us to carry on the school successfully, as without your assistance the school must lapse, We have a Teacher engaged at a salary of Fifty (50) Pounds per annum, and since the commencement of the school the attendance has been steadily increasing showing at the present time a daily average of twenty (20) children.

  • Kia Ora, Gday and Welcome to the History of Aotearoa New Zealand, Episode 6: I’M Here to Hunt Moa and Chew Kauru, and I’M All out of Moa
    Kia ora, gday and welcome to the History of Aotearoa New Zealand, Episode 6: I’m here to hunt moa and chew kauru, and I’m all out of moa. Before we crack back into the good stuff I just wanted to go over some admin. As you may have noticed, the episodes are pretty consistently coming out every two weeks. After dipping my toes in and then dunking myself, I have settled into what I think is a good rhythm. Research and write for two weeks, then record and edit on the weekend, release on Sunday or Monday. I think this strikes a nice balance of getting a good amount of content out to you guys in a timely manner but also makes sure I’m not overextending myself with all the other commitments that I have. The retelling of Maori myths help as well as they require no research, just some more editing, so I can have an extra few weeks for research if I think I need it. I also want to acknowledge the fact that we are now over 75 followers on Spotify with Apple Podcasts being about half that. Clearly some of you out there have been telling your mates about the podcast and I just wanted to thank you sincerely for spreading the word. A big thank you to those of you out there who have sent me kind messages too, it really helps knowing there are real people out there listening, learning and enjoying the podcast. Makes all the effort worth it! Now, lets get back to Aotearoa, around the 13th-14th centuries.
