Rotorua & the Bay of Plenty © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd 302 Rotorua & the Bay of Plenty Captain Cook christened the Bay of Plenty as he sailed past in 1769, and plentiful it remains to this day, blessed with buckets of sunshine and a long sandy coastline. The Bay stretches from Waihi Beach in the west to Opotiki in the east, with a sprinkling of seaside towns and the happening hub of Tauranga in between. Nearby Mt Maunganui has been popular with Kiwi holidaymakers for generations. Further east along the pohutukawa-covered coast is Whakatane, the launch pad for tours to New Zealand’s most active volcano, Whakaari (White Island). Volcanic activity defines the landscape from here to the Central Plateau, a constant reminder that under this fertile soil lies a molten core, oozing upwards to the surface. Nowhere is this subterranean sexiness more obvious than in Rotorua, NZ’s most famous tourist destination. Here the daily business of life goes on among steaming hot springs, explosive geysers, bubbling mud pools, and the clouds of sulphurous gas responsible for the town’s ‘unique’ eggy smell. Rotorua and the Bay remain strongholds of Maori tradition and history, so there are plenty of opportunities to explore the rich culture of the indigenous people of NZ: check out a PLENTY PLENTY power-packed concert performance, chow down at a hangi or discover the meaning and techniques behind Maori arts and crafts.

    Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2 Central Bay of Plenty Environment Bay of Plenty Environmental Publication 2010/11-2 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN: 1175 9372 Working with our communities for a better environment E mahi ngatahi e pai ake ai te taiao Soils of the Bay of Plenty Volume 2: Central Bay of Plenty Environmental Publication 2010/11-2 ISSN: 1175 9372 June 2010 Environment Bay of Plenty 5 Quay Street PO Box 364 Whakatane 3158 NEW ZEALAND Prepared by W. C. Rijkse and D. F. Guinto Preface Soil is a resource, a living, breathing entity that, if treated properly, will maintain itself. It’s our lifeline for survival. When it has finally been depleted, the human population will disappear. Project your imagination into the soil below you next time you go into the garden. Think with compassion of the life that exists there. Think, the drama, the harvesting, and the work that carries on ceaselessly. Think about the meaning of being a steward for the earth. Marjorie Harris, In the Garden (1995) For as long as I can remember I have been intrigued and fascinated by landscapes and soils of New Zealand, in particular of the Bay of Plenty where I spent a good deal of my career mapping soils. A landscape to me is a puzzle, a closed book, and to be able to open that book, to solve the puzzle by finding out what soils are in the landscape and what are the possibilities for good land use, is a joy we scientists call pedology – the science of soils.

  • Over the Years
    OVER THE YEARS A HISTORY OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY HALLS IN THE ROTORUA DISTRICT FOREWORD Nau mai, Haere mai, There are nine rural community halls in the Rotorua District, at Broadlands, Kaharoa, Mamaku, Ngakuru, Ngongotaha, Okareka, Reporoa, Rerewhakaaitu, and Waikite. Volunteers have driven the development and maintenance of these vital community facilities, which have been the focus for community functions and gatherings for many years. In 2001, Rotorua District Council awarded certificates of appreciation to many of these volunteers for their tireless efforts to sustain the upkeep of their local halls. This booklet was commissioned by the District Council to record the history of Rotorua’s rural halls, for both archival and community interest. Information was compiled in the latter months of 2002 by Marlana Maru, a Year 2 Bachelor of Applied Social Science student from the Waiariki Institute of Technology. RDC Social Research Officer Paul Killerby undertook additional editing and formatting. Marlana and I would like to thank the many local informants whose memories and impressions contributed to this booklet. In particular we would like to thank Barbara Blackburn, Peter Blackburn, Andy Burnett, Mary Burnett, David Fleet, Lyn Fleet, Maxine Greenslade, Triss Hill, Wally Hope, Marie Jepsen, Noeleen Martelli, Verna Martelli, Pam Murray, Jim Nicholson, Norman Reichardt, Rei Reichardt, Arthur Roe, Don Sandilands, and Chris Stevens. We would welcome any further background information on the halls listed in this booklet, which will be recorded and utilised in any further update of the publication.

  • THE CULT of RUA During the First Third of The
    Allan Hanson CHRISTIAN BRANCHES, MAORI ROOTS: THE CULT OF RUA During the first third of the twentieth century a New Zealand Maori named Rua Kenana, proclaiming himself to be a Messiah and the brother of Jesus, or even Jesus himself, headed a millenarian move- ment that attracted many adherents among Maoris of the Tuhoe and Whakatohea tribes.' The movement included the express intention to eradicate all traces of the old Maori religion. Nevertheless, the cult contained much that derived from indigenous Maori culture. This essay attempts to sort out the Judeo-Christian and Maori sources of Thanks are due to Judith Binney and Peter Webster, without whose careful scholar- ship this paper could not have been written. I am also grateful to Louise Hanson and Fransje Knops for critical comments. I Rua's cult had received very little scholarly attention prior to the appearance of two books, researched independently but both published in 1979. Judith Binney, Gillian Chaplin, and Craig Wallace, Mihaia: The Prophet Rua Kenana and His Community at Maungapohatu (Wellington: Oxford University Press, 1979), tell the story of the move- ment by means of a wealth of contemporaneous photographs conjoined with a carefully researched narrative by Binney. Peter Webster, Rua and the Maori Millennium (Welling- ton: Prince Milburn for Victoria University Press, 1979), perceptively analyzes the cult in terms of a general, cross-cultural theory of millenarian movements. Binney has pub- lished two further essays on Rua's cult, "Maungapohatu Revisited: or, How the Govern- ment Underdeveloped a Maori Community," Journal of the Polynesian Society 92 (1983): 353-92, and "Myth and Explanation in the Ringatu Tradition: Some Aspects of the Leadership of Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuku and Rua Kenana Hepetipa," Journal of the Polynesian Society 93 (1984): 345-98.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

Quaternary volcanism, tephras, and tephra-derived soils in New Zealand: an introductory review David J. Lowe Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Waikato, Hamilton Introduction This two-part article comprises brief introductions to (1) volcanism and its products in general and to the broad pattern of Quaternary volcanism and tephrostratigraphy in North Island, and (2) the ensuing tephra-derived soils of North Island. Part 1 derives mainly from Smith et al. (2006), Leonard et al. (2007), and Lowe (2008a). Other useful reviews include those of Neall (2001), Graham (2008: Chapter 7), Wilson et al. (2009), and Cole et al. (2010). Recent reviews on tephras include Shane (2000), Alloway et al. (2007), Lowe (2008b, 2011), and Lowe et al. (2008a, 2008b). A history of tephra studies in New Zealand was reported by Lowe (1990). Part 2 describes the distribution and character of the main tephra-derived soils, these being Entisols and Andisols (mostly Vitrands and Udands) and Ultisols (Lowe and Palmer, 2005). Books on these and other soils in New Zealand include NZ Soil Bureau (1968), Gibbs (1980), McLaren and Cameron (1996), Cornforth (1998), and Molloy and Christie (1998).
