  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data
    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

  • Unsettling a Settler Family's History in Aotearoa New Zealand
    genealogy Article A Tale of Two Stories: Unsettling a Settler Family’s History in Aotearoa New Zealand Richard Shaw Politics Programme, Massey University, PB 11 222 Palmerston North, New Zealand; [email protected]; Tel.: +64-27609-8603 Abstract: On the morning of the 5 November 1881, my great-grandfather stood alongside 1588 other military men, waiting to commence the invasion of Parihaka pa,¯ home to the great pacifist leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi¯ and their people. Having contributed to the military campaign against the pa,¯ he returned some years later as part of the agricultural campaign to complete the alienation of Taranaki iwi from their land in Aotearoa New Zealand. None of this detail appears in any of the stories I was raised with. I grew up Pakeh¯ a¯ (i.e., a descendant of people who came to Aotearoa from Europe as part of the process of colonisation) and so my stories tend to conform to orthodox settler narratives of ‘success, inevitability, and rights of belonging’. This article is an attempt to right that wrong. In it, I draw on insights from the critical family history literature to explain the nature, purposes and effects of the (non)narration of my great-grandfather’s participation in the military invasion of Parihaka in late 1881. On the basis of a more historically comprehensive and contextualised account of the acquisition of three family farms, I also explore how the control of land taken from others underpinned the creation of new settler subjectivities and created various forms of privilege that have flowed down through the generations.

  • SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your Guide to the Touring Route Around Taranaki’S Coastline
    SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your guide to the touring route around Taranaki’s coastline taranaki.co.nz/visit WELCOME TO THE SURF HIGHWAY Surf Highway 45 is the 105km coastal route connecting New Plymouth (1) in the north to Hāwera (2) in the south. Between these centres there are dozens of notable places to stop, from surf breaks, beaches, points of historic and cultural interest, scenic spots, and cafés in vibrant and welcoming villages. A journey along the Surf Highway traces the route of generations of surfers, but it offers much more than just surf. The highway weaves through a number of Taranaki’s stories – the surf, the landscape, the rich history, and the creativity, all the while under the watchful gaze of Taranaki Maunga. For more information head to taranaki.co.nz/visit RICH IN HISTORY Taranaki’s history begins with our picture-perfect ancestor Taranaki Maunga and his mythical journey from the Central Plateau (brokenhearted after losing a battle for Mount Pihanga) and includes historic land battles, the birth of the passive resistance movement, and pioneering industrial growth, all of which have contributed to modern-day Taranaki and the many vivid stories we have to tell. These stories are best experienced through the many museums on offer, with the following located on or near Surf Highway 45. • New Plymouth’s waterfront Puke Ariki (1) is a museum, library and i-SITE providing information about the city’s past and present. A fascinating guided walk is also available – book at the i-SITE, 1 Ariki St, New Plymouth. • Tawhiti Museum and Traders & Whalers (3) has been repeatedly judged one of the country’s best museums, and has to be experienced to be believed.

  • Maritime Rules Part 20: Operating Limits
    Maritime Rules Part 20: Operating Limits MNZ Consolidation 1 October 2020 ISBN 978-1-99-001623-3 Published by Maritime New Zealand, PO Box 25620, Wellington 6146, New Zealand Maritime New Zealand Copyright 2020 Part 20: Operating Limits Part objective Part 20 defines operating limits for the purpose of all maritime rules. Its other main purpose is to require ships to be assigned operating limits and to provide for an obligation to keep within the lesser of the assigned operating limits or the operating limits that apply to the Master, subject to exceptions. While the definitions in rule 20.2 may be referred to elsewhere in the maritime rules and therefore has a broader application, Part 20 otherwise applies to— New Zealand ships which are commercial ships Foreign ships operating commercially in New Zealand waters Foreign fishing vessels registered under the Fisheries Act 1996. Part 20 does not apply to certain ships including— Pleasure craft Foreign ships visiting New Zealand ports, New Zealand offshore terminals or transiting New Zealand waters New Zealand ships which have current SOLAS certificates and are therefore already entitled to operate in unlimited waters. Limits do not need to be assigned to these ships. Part 20 is made pursuant to the sections 36(1)(i),36(1)(j) and 36(1)((zb) of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. Maritime rules are subject to the Legislation Act 2012. Under that Act, the rules are required to be tabled in the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives may, by resolution, disallow any rules. The Regulations Review Committee is the select committee responsible for considering rules under the Legislation Act.

  • Fortifications of the New Zealand Wars
    Fortifications of the New Zealand Wars Nigel Prickett In Memory Tony Walton [26 November 1952 – 6 November 2008] New Zealand archaeological sites central file-keeper New Zealand Historic Places Trust [1978–1987] Department of Conservation [1987–2008] This report is one of the last Department of Conservation archaeological contract projects in which Tony was involved and reflects his interest in historic sites of the New Zealand Wars, and so is a fitting tribute to his career. Cover: Alexandra Redoubt, near Tuakau, was established by British troops the day after General Cameron crossed the Mangatawhiri River on 12 July 1863 at the start of the Waikato War. The earthwork fortification was located to secure the right flank of the invasion route and to protect military transport to the front on the Waikato River 100 m below. The outstanding preservation is a result of the redoubt now being within an historic reserve and cemetery. See Section 3.10 in the report. Photo: Nigel Prickett, April 1992.

  • TARANAKI AS ONE—Taranaki Tāngata Tū Tahi 190 1442647 MB Final Draft
    St Mary’s Cathedral Church, New Plymouth, is New Zealand’s oldest stone church. Historic heritage Taranaki has a long history stretching back to early Polynesian settlement and the subsequent arrival of Europeans. Many of the buildings, structures and archaeological sites in the region reflect this history, adding to the richness and vibrancy of the Taranaki region. Historic buildings, structures, places, wāhi tapu and other sites have historic, archaeological, architectural and cultural value. For example, many pre-European archaeological sites include middens, ovens, village or pā sites and urupā (burial grounds). Reminders of early European history include features associated with timber extraction, railway construction, land wars and dairying. Under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), the protection of historic heritage from inappropriate subdivision, use, and development is a matter of national importance. The culture and traditions of Māori, in relation to their ancestral lands, water, historic sites, wāhi tapu and other taonga, are also a matter of national importance that councils must recognise and provide for. Heritage buildings and structures Heritage buildings and structures include houses, churches, towers, memorials and commercial buildings. This also includes items that are identified as having historic heritage which may be architectural, cultural, historic, scientific or technological in nature. Not all heritage buildings, structures or items are listed by Heritage New Zealand, which targets heritage at a national level and has only limited funds to purchase heritage buildings or structures. Therefore, identifying and protecting locally significant heritage is the domain of local councils. The three district councils in the region identify heritage buildings, structures and items within their area and protect them using controls and regulations in their district plans.
