Did You All Notice a Stream of Black Smoke Drifting Across the Waitaki River on Sunday March 21St? Well, I Know Where It Came From April edition 2021 Editor: Mike Gray Last month’s edition of the Duntroon Digger was a ‘Bumper Issue”, thanks to the work of editor Lynda Scott Araya. Unfortunately, Lynda has chosen to step back from this voluntary role. So, as I take over the editor role once more, I would like to record my gratitude and that of the DDDA Committee for Lynda’s work as editor over the last 18 months. I am sure you, the readers, will miss her style, professionalism and enthusiasm. I do hope she is able to make the occasional contribution. So finally, a big THANK YOU Lynda. Mike Gray ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Did you all notice a stream of black smoke drifting across the Waitaki River on Sunday March 21st? Well, I know where it came from. It was a “Steam Up Day’ at Bushtown in Waimate, and the traction engines were all ‘fired up’ and belching coal smoke into the atmosphere as they powered the saw mill, the threshing and bailing machines. One such engine spent the day giving visitors rides around the Park. The usual variety of vintage machinery was on show and Duntroon was represented by Nicol’s Blacksmith working on a portable forge. Judy Waterston led the team with help from Richard and Robert throughout the day. Keeping the manually operated blower going provides lots of exercise for the helper’s right arm! Vanished World also had a tent providing visitors with an opportunity to “Dig a Fossil’ or classify a set of rocks . 1 The day was fine with brilliant sunshine and a slight breeze later in the day helped people to cool off. The crowd was much bigger than last year and there was certainly a lot of happy people meeting old friends and generally having a great day. In a letter of thanks to volunteers, Chairman Allan Laure said ”Gosh I was amazed by how many people came in to the event to help. I estimate over 300 for the two days. This surely is an example of a community who absolutely buy in to this project.” So keep an eye out next year if you need a ‘steam fix’ that will bring back those nostalgic memories of a bygone era. ________________________________________________________________________ VOLUNTEERS WANTED. Age Concern Waitaki are looking for volunteers in the Kurow/Duntroon area who can help us care for the older members of our community. Volunteering may include providing a visiting service, helping with or contributing to a morning tea for an event, drivers or even making a phone call to someone on a regular basis who maybe feeling lonely. If you think you could spare an hour or two a week, even if only once a month, then please get in touch, give me a call or text me on 0273532874 or email me at [email protected] to arrange a chat. 2 Community Garden Wow it's been 12 months since we fenced off the corner for the garden and we've come so far. It's certainly not all been plain sailing and we are super proud of what we've managed in that time. We have had a busy few week through March with the usual watering, weeding, mowing of the grass and harvesting. It has been so rewarding to be able to take veggies home to eat and still have plenty to send some up to Whalen Lodge as well stock the share shed in the village. We're still harvesting zucchini madly as well as broccoli and leeks. No doubt we'll be having our first frost in the next week or two which will see us harvest our bumper pumpkin crop. We've started planting the hardier plants to take us into the winter and will be setting up the frost protection shortly. We are also purchasing some fruit trees thanks to some funding we received from the Lotteries Community fund and hope to get some decent wind protection sorted before next spring. We are always keen for more people to join our team; we meet every Wednesday from 1- 3pm. We're doing a few building jobs through the winter so would be keen to have any "handy- people" to help with building some compost bins and fencing jobs. 3 Neighbour's Day Community Meal and School seedling swap On Friday 26th, Duntroon celebrated Neighbour's day with a couple of events. The school children in Ruma Tahi and Rua had grown vegetable seedlings to share which they put out on a share table at the school. Through the morning a few locals called by to swap some goodies for the seedlings. The excess seedlings will go into the school garden. And then evening we held another community potluck meal at the hall. There was a great turn-out with quite a feast. It was great seeing some new faces at the meal, that is what the neighbour's day week is all about, meeting the people in the neighbourhood. I had asked, that if people had any excess in their garden to bring some along or a can of something from the pantry. It was an honour to be able to deliver a selection of produce from the community to Whalen Lodge on Saturday morning, and there is a bag of non- perishables heading into the food bank this week. We have a great community here in the district, and it has been showcased widely these last few weeks with the massive effort by the school community that went into the Trail Ride and then the other community groups keeping the smaller projects going: the wetland trail, managing the domain, the Vanished World, the Blacksmith and the Community Garden. Working in the village I get to chat to many visitors, and they keep reminding me that we have something special and that we should cherish it. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Harakeke Papermaking If you would like to come and see how paper is made come and introduce yourself. I am trying to make paper on Tuesdays, but also have a sign out when I am working. Give me a call on other days and I can arrange a time to suit. I use harakeke (New Zealand flax) gathered from my neighbours and by trimming the overgrown flaxes from the Duntroon wetlands ... thanks guys! As I have been a weaver and love my flax, it is gathered with the protocol I was taught by my Maori tutors. Once trimmed the leaves are put through a pasta mill twice to help break up the outer layer and then they are cut into lengths that will fit into a pot. They are then boiled for a few hours in water and washing soda, which helps to break down the really strong fibres. After rinsing, the fun part begins with the bashing of the leaves with tapa cloth beaters making them ready for the last process in the hollender mill. My mill is a small but very effective “Little Critter” made by the well known paper maker Mark Lander, who has some great YouTube videos showing his process. I mainly use the Nepalese method of pulling and drying my paper and letting it stand out in the sun to dry. Its great fun and a bit miraculous when it turns out that every sheet is different but perfect in its own way. I paint, draw and print on the paper. I also make cards and even have made quite large sculptures with it. Trish Wilson, 11 Earthquake Road, Duntroon. Ph: 0224243109 6 25 March, 2021 Getting Back to the Future Great Scott!

  • Farming in North Otago
    FARMING IN NORTH OTAGO J. D. CURRIE Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Oarnaru Abstract North Otago is a well-established, efficiently farmed district. Primary production, which grossed an estimated $20 million in the 1973-4 season, will continue to be the major source of regional revenue. The geographic character and the soil resources of the district are described with a comprehensive coverage of historical development, current farming practices and future opportunities for pastoral development. The principal factor limiting agriculture in North Otago is a climate characterized by low, variable rainfall. Pastoral potential is closely tied to investment in oversowing, lucerne and irrigation. Successful farming under difhcult environmental conditions demands above-average ability. The managerial skill of North Otago’s farmers is an outstanding regional resource that augurs well for the future. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION NORTH OTAGO is a well-defined region. The northern, Canterbury, boundary follows the Waitaki River to its snowfield source in the Southern Alps beyond Lake Ohau. Above Kurow are the hydro dams, below Kurow the river remains as a broad natural boundary, flowing in swift braided channels down a bouldery bed to the sea. The southern boundary that isolates North Otago from its parent province is a mountain wall running north-west from Shag Point to the Lindis Pass and on to the Alps. A fork in the mountains that sweep round from Danseys Pass to Kurow divides North Otago into two districts that are distinct in nature and development. Inland, at Omarama, the sparsely populated run country is similar to Central Otago. Below Kurow is the more closely settled country, The moun- tains and foothills are only suited to extensive grazing, but most of the lower country is made up of rolling loessial downs, good natural grassland, much of it arable.

  • FT7 Vanished World
    GEOSCIENCES 09 Annual Conference Oamaru, NZ FIELD TRIP 7 VANISHED WORLD Wednesday 25 November 2009 Leader: Ewan Fordyce Geology Dept, University of Otago BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: Fordyce, E. (2009). Vanished World. In: Turnbull, I.M. (ed.). Field Trip Guides, Geosciences 09 Conference, Oamaru, New Zealand. Geological Society of New Zealand Miscellaneous Publication 128B. 13 p. INTRODUCTION The trip has themes of: geological education/ geological sites; regional stratigraphy/ paleontology; and history of geology. It is based around localities from Papakaio to Duntroon-Maerewhenua, North Otago. We will visit a geological visitor centre - Vanished World Centre, Duntroon (www.vanishedworld.co.nz), and significant sites for the Paleogene of southern Canterbury Basin: Cameron's Pit (plant fossils, Cretaceous), Maerewhenua (shallow marine strata, sill, Eocene), and Awamoko-Duntroon (distal marine and unconformities, Oligocene). We will visit 1-2 of the sites specially developed for the public as part of the Vanished World Trail. Text, photos and graphics are by Ewan Fordyce. VANISHED WORLD The Vanished World Trail comprises a self-guided 80 km tour around some 20 geological sites in North Otago, on the coast from Waianakarua (south) to Oamaru (north), and inland to Duntroon in the Waitaki Valley. Sites are on public and private land; access to sites is free, but conditions may be imposed by some landowners. Some sites are close to or on roads, but others require a short walk. The trail is a community initiative developed by locals since 2000, in partnership with the University of Otago, to foster conservation, education and scientific study. The concept of Vanished World arose from local interest in, particularly, research on fossils from the district, but aims to take geology in the broadest sense to the public.

The entrance to the exact location of the cave was not recorded in the cave is in a small remnant of broadleaf forest on the museum register. I was, however, able to contact side of a hill, c.15 m above the valley floor. I visited Mr Dalton (WGD) who kindly provided an account the cave twice, in Apr and Sep 2005. The floor of the of the discovery of the bones. cave consists largely of boulders from a roof collapse, In Mar 1954, a group from the Anderson’s Bay and there was little fine sediment. I did not excavate, Rover Sea Scouts, Dunedin, explored a cave on but examined the cave floor thoroughly. Bones were Messrs Callahan’s property near Dunback, eastern found at 2 sites along the northern wall of the cave Otago (Fig. 1). They found the entrance to the cave (Fig. 2). The bones were generally well preserved; behind a small patch of bush halfway up the hillside many had a thin coating of calcium carbonate.

  • Omarama Gazette July 3, 2019.Pub
    -Omarama Gazette - July 2019 Omarama has a new fire chief Dedication to duty sometimes forces a change in life's direction, Omarama's fire service leaders say. The role of FENZ Omarama Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer has changed hands. Terry Walsh has stepped down and is leaving the fire brigade. Deputy chief fire officer Greg Harper has been appointed as Omarama’s new fire chief. The ceremonial handover of helmets will take place shortly, almost exactly three action -packed years since Terry took over the job from Howard Williams. During this time, he has overseen the introduction of the new amalgamated Fire and Emergency New Zealand and fundamental changes to the way the fire bri- gade's first response and St John co -ordinate their roles. “I’m really, really proud of that” - the way the crews worked through that trial process and now all work in together, Terry said. The Omarama brigade led the way in that process and its procedures have been adopted by services throughout New Zealand, he said. Terry joined the fire service in Clyde, in 2002. Being appointed fire chief of the Omarama brigade had been the highlight of that career and "the personal growth that came with that". And watching brigade members “train and grow, themselves”. Continued from page one On a more personal note, a high point was marching in Omarama’s Anzac parade led by daughter Dani, who is in the navy, he said. Terry is taking a break to concentrate on family with the children now living in Dunedin, Oamaru, Christchurch and Auckland.
