  • Otago Tramping Club - Miss L
    Otago Tramping Club - Miss L. Tweedy Diaries - 1923 OTAGO TRAMPING CLUB Tramping Diaries of Miss. L. Tweedy OTC Foundation Member Vol. 1 1923 Celebrating 100 Years of Tramping & Mountaineering 1923Page-2023 1 Otago Tramping Club - Miss L. Tweedy Diaries - 1923 Miss L. Tweedy Tramping Diary, 1923-1929 One of the most significant early items in the OTMC archive housed at the Hocken Library is a set of diaries from Miss L. Tweedy. There is not a lot of information avail- able about the club’s early trips - aside from this collection the only other remaining record of the OTC’s tramping trips in the 1920’s is a series of trip reports published in the Otago Daily Times. The first club magazine (Outdoors) was published in 1934. Miss Tweedy’s diaries were donated to the OTMC in 1983 and have since been added to our archive at the Hocken. At first the diaries appear to be pretty basic, but a deeper analysis shows that they provide a comprehensive overview of what it was like to be an Otago Tramping Club members in the 1920’s. The first entry is from the second club day trip from the Gardens to Burkes via Signal Hill. The first four months of the OTC saw the club travel as far as Maungatua and the Double Hill area of the Silver Peaks. There is an entry for the first club Christmas Trip to the Cecil Peak area departing on December 1926, but this can’t have left Dun- edin until the first week of 1924 as both inaugural President Oscar Balk and Miss Tweedy are listed as being on day trips from December 22 to December 30.

  • Your Southern Supply Base
    Dunedin Your Southern Supply Base Dunedin is the leading site for a supply base, logistics provider and support centre for the offshore and onshore oil industry in the Great South Basin and East Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Dunedin – Supply Base The Dunedin supply base is situated at the head of the deep and sheltered Otago Harbour. At present, laydown areas, wharf space and bunkering facilities already exist. Provedoring, marine repair and servicing facilities are also currently available. Looking to the future, the Dunedin City Council and Port Otago own a significant amount of land in this area and have identified it for redevelopment with provisions already in place to allow for this. Planning is underway for the construction of an International Logistics Hub and Offshore Supply Base to support the oil industry in the southern part of New Zealand. This would allow for easy development into a major industrial cluster and logistics centre. 1 CBD Supply base area Engineering cluster Wharf area Key Features: A land area of more than 200,000m2 25 km from Dunedin International Airport It is fully serviced for all utilities 10 km from the associated deep water Port Chalmers Container Terminal 24 hours a day, seven days a week operation is a permitted activity Within the proposed area there is provision for a tank farm Commercial shipping of up to 8.0 metres draft and 32.2 Commercial terminal and Stevedore services metres beam catered for at the Dunedin wharf system Provision for bulk cargo, warehousing and storage facilities

  • Introducing the Dunedin Quarters
    Introducing the Dunedin Quarters Background TSCF’s ministry is part of a worldwide partnership across 150 nations. Our vision is to see students reach their fellow students with the good news of Jesus Christ, becoming leaders amongst their peers and going on to engage in the culture and society that God calls them to. TSCF has been involved in student ministry on the campuses of New Zealand for the last 78 years – we are committed to the gospel reaching the heart of New Zealand university students and impacting the heart of Kiwi society. For several years TSCF has overseen intentional student communty houses in Dunedin and in Wellington. In 2018 we have taken on four properties in Dunedin with space for nineteen students. Two staff families will be living on site and will be part of daily life in the houses. The name we have given the initiative is the Quarters. The vision for the Quarters can be summed up as follows: Lifetime friends, under God, sharing Life. Living in the houses will be much like flatting anywhere in New Zealand. The key distinctive is that residents commit to a number of shared practices that are aimed at helping them grow as a community and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. For more details see the ethos document for the Quarters that is part of this information pack. The setting The quarters are four neighbouring properties on Bank Street. The street is on the edge of the boundary between North Dunedin and the North East Valley. It is a 2-minute walk to the local supermarket and shops, and the Dunedin Botanic Gardens.

  • Language Is Life the Worldview of Second Language Speakers of Māori Jeanette King, University of Canterbury
    Language is Life The Worldview of Second Language Speakers of Māori Jeanette King, University of Canterbury Second-language adult speakers of Māori form the large bulk of proficient speakers of the language. The engagement these adults have with the Māori language is motivated by a strongly-held worldview centered on personal transformation which enables them to engage with and maintain a relationship with the Māori language. This worldview appears to have a different focus to that held by national and tribal language planners and speakers of other indigenous languages. One factor that languages undergoing revitalization have in common is a group of language fanatics, people who are passionately dedicated to revital- izing their heritage language. In New Zealand there are many Māori who are devoted to becoming fluent second language speakers of Māori. These people are typically involved with the teaching profession and have children who they are raising in a Māori speaking environment. These people are the necessary intermediate stage: the second language speaking generation which is needed to produce a new generation of first language speakers of Māori. The zeal which these adult second language learners have for the language is something that they have sustained for a number of years. What motivates people such as these to become fluent second language speakers of their heritage language? Are they motivated by the idea of saving their language? Or is their motivation more personal? This paper examines the worldview of second lan- guage adult speakers of Māori in New Zealand and contrasts their perspective with that of language planners and speakers of other indigenous languages.
