The one- way bridge was officially opened by Lord Cobham, then New Zealand’s Governor-General, on 21 June 1958 with the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the event. At the time, construction was not quite complete – with rolled steel anchor rods from Australia having been delayed for seven months by industrial problems. Thus on the big day, Lord Cobham declared the bridge both officially opened and temporarily closed!1 The official opening of this bridge was especially significant to the Mangamahu community. A grand ball had been held the previous night in the woolshed at Okirae Station, complete with 30 truckloads of greenery used for decoration - and also the Governor-General.

  • Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand: Obserations on Its Crater Lake And
    MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON CRATER LAKE 601 MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON ITS CRATER LAKE AND GLACIERS By N. E. ODELL (Department of Geology, University of Otago, Dunedin, N.Z.) ABSTRACT.Mt. Ruapehu, the highest summit in the North Island of New Zealand, is a semi-dormant volcano, whose crater lake was responsible for the flood that caused the disastrous railway accident on Christmas Eve, '953. Since the last eruption of '945, when mostly ash was ejected, the crater lake that subsequently formed has been contained by a barrier partly composed of lava and partly of neve and ash. It was the breaking through of the latter weaker portion of the dam that was responsible for the flood of mud and boulders which descended via the Whan- gaehu Glacier and struck the railway 25 miles (40 km.) distant. There is nO evidence of eruptive activity having been the cause of the outbreak. During three ascents of the mountain, observations were made of the glaciers, which have been in a state of gradual shrinkage over a number of years. But during the past Summer-a season of excep- tional dryness-the process of ablation and wastage has been greatly accelerated, so that immense areas of rock and ash have freshly emerged, and crevasses and dirt-ridges have taken the place of smooth neve or glacier surfaces. ZUSAMlliIENFASSUNG.Mt. Ruapehu, der hochste Gipfel auf der North Island Neuseelands, ist ein halb schlum- mernder Vulkan, dessen Kr~ter-See fur die Flut verantwortlich war, die das unheilvoIle Eisenbahnungluck am Heilig Abend 1953 verursachte.

  • Harpreet Singh
    FROM GURU NANAK TO NEW ZEALAND: Mobility in the Sikh Tradition and the History of the Sikh Community in New Zealand to 1947 Harpreet Singh A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, The University of Otago, 2016. Abstract Currently the research on Sikhs in New Zealand has been defined by W. H. McLeod’s Punjabis in New Zealand (published in the 1980s). The studies in this book revealed Sikh history in New Zealand through the lens of oral history by focussing on the memory of the original settlers and their descendants. However, the advancement of technology has facilitated access to digitised historical documents including newspapers and archives. This dissertation uses these extensive databases of digitised material (combined with non-digital sources) to recover an extensive, if fragmentary, history of South Asians and Sikhs in New Zealand. This dissertation seeks to reconstruct mobility within Sikhism by analysing migration to New Zealand against the backdrop of the early period of Sikh history. Covering the period of the Sikh Gurus, the eighteenth century, the period of the Sikh Kingdom and the colonial era, the research establishes a pattern of mobility leading to migration to New Zealand. The pattern is established by utilising evidence from various aspects of the Sikh faith including Sikh institutions, scripture, literature, and other historical sources of each period to show how mobility was indigenous to the Sikh tradition. It also explores the relationship of Sikhs with the British, which was integral to the absorption of Sikhs into the Empire and continuity of mobile traditions that ultimately led them to New Zealand.
