    EDINBURGH PHILATELIC SOCIETY (93rd Season) Newsletter No.130 Dec 2018 Secretary’s Letter It does not seem like 3 months since I wrote a note for the Summer addition and now, we have the winter coats out. Since my last note, health a bit better. It has been a busy period with the first of my Grandchildren, only Granddaughter, getting married. I still have a single night 12th Feb 19 to completed the syllabus. I put it as a member’s night and if we don’t get a better suggestion I will ask Bill Torrance to do a half evening on his Machin’s and I will bring in some GB Prestige Booklets for the other half. YOUR CHOICE. We are still waiting for someone to take over the job of Minute Secretary as Richard Squires wishes to have a break as he has been doing for a dozen or more years. Likewise, The Secretary would like to move on. Replace me and I will take over from Richard. I had a couple of nice finds for my collections at Scotex in October. And further good luck at Bass Rock Fairs in Kinross in November. A couple of comments about Gibbons monthly, fortunately it came out before the Kinross fair and I was able to add to part of my aviation display. On the front cover were a couple of cover about the Berlin Airlift. I already had some material and was able to enhance it. A piece of History which most of us should remember, I certainly did.

The West Coast Plan goal three - ‘Communities’ is: ‘Communities that are strongly connected to their natural environment and are unique and diverse’. Target Seventeen under this goal is: ‘The history and cultures of the area are recognised and valued’.

  • Opanaki/Kaihu Timber Mill
    ~ 0 ~ PART TWO TIMBER BONANZA CHAPTER ONE SAD DEMISE OF THE MIGHTY KAURI FORESTS CHAPTER TWO HARVESTING TIMBER CHAPTER THREE TIMBER SHIPPED FROM HOKIANGA AND KAIPARA HARBOUR’S CHAPTER FOUR 1888: KAURI TIMBER COMPANY SOURCES/BIBLIOGRAPHY ~ 1 ~ 1 SAD DEMISE OF THE MAGNIFICENT KAURI FORESTS LEFT: THE MIGHTY KAURI TREE. Kauri timber was the first New Zealand natural resource to be extracted by Europeans, and the first export. The first recorded Kauri cut was at Manawaroa Bay in the Bay of Islands by Marion du Fresne in 1772, for his ship’s foremast. The export trade commenced when the British Royal Navy ship “Fancy” took 200 trees for spars from Doubtless Bay in Northland and the Coromandel Coast in 1794, 25 years after Captain James Cook’s rediscovery of New Zealand in 1769. Merchants from Sydney in the newly settled New South Wales colony, and British Navy merchants were actively trading at the turn of the 19th century. At first, with access only from the coast, relatively young, straight trees were cut that were ideal as masts and spars for sailing ships. European trading ships started entering the Kaipara Harbour about 1838 to trade for timber. Most of the Kauri timber was extracted during the 19th century. Before the turn of the century, Kauri was milled at an average rate of 236,000 cubic metres a year. The rate of production after a final ten-year boom period in the late 19th and early 20th century declined to an annual average of 3000 cubic metres. The magnificent Kauri forests that once covered 1.6 million hectares (4 million acres) of the northern half of the North Island were destroyed by logging, fire and clearing for farming to leave about 7,000 hectares (18,000 acres) of remnants, mainly in the Waipoua forests in Northland, and State forest on the Coromandel Peninsula.

  • Attachment and Belonging, Nineteenth Century Whananaki
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Attachment and Belonging Nineteenth Century Whananaki A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Massey University New Zealand Rowan Tautari 2009 ABSTRACT Attachment and belonging to place can be expressed in a myriad of ways. At its core is the need to legitimise presence. Historically, several strategies have been employed by different individuals or groups to establish their claim to Whananaki. This thesis explores attachment and belonging from several perspectives – from that of hapu who competed amongst each other for resources, a settler who affected to legalize a pre-Treaty of Waitangi transaction, government officials securing Crown ownership culminating in a sale in 1864, Maori drawn to the developing village settlement who married into local families, and finally the village settlers who attempted to transform the land into a familiar countryside. The paradox of belonging but not quite belonging was played out in many contexts at Whananaki, including through landmarks and their associated narratives. Landmarks can be sites asserting ancient beginnings, carefully crafted props validating legal title, symbols of progress and development, memorials denoting loss and abandonment, or neutral ground. In looking at the narratives that affix landmarks to place, we can arrive at a closer understanding of how residents of nineteenth-century Whananaki viewed and defined their environment.

  • Aotea Great Barrier Island Historic Heritage Survey
    As adults, with families of their own, the children of Thomas and Elizabeth Medland built a school for their children in the 1930s, as their numbers grew (Fig.152). This avoided the long journey to Tryphena. The Medland family contributed greatly to the Great Barrier infrastructure when the brothers built a road between Medlands and Tryphena and with their neighbour, Cyril Eyre, constructed the wharf at Puriri Bay. (Refer 3.1.4.2). There are still a number of extant built places on the island that are associated with the history of the Medland family. The old cowshed/sawmill which was once part of the Woolstone farm, built in the 1920s is still on its original site. The Medlands school, built c1932, has been relocated within the Medlands area and has been converted into a bach (Fig. 153). The creamery and wash house have also been relocated to what was once Grace Benson’s (nee Medland) property in Sandhills Road. 4.2.3.10 Tryphena The Barstows Robert Barstow arrived in Auckland on the Bangalore in 1843 from England, purchased land at Tamaki as an intended grain farm. Undertaking a trip to South America in 1844, Barstow did not return to Auckland until late 1845. It was around this time, that he purchased land at Mulberry Grove, Tryphena. In 1846, he married Jane Hulme, who was the daughter of the Commanding Officer of the British Contingent in New Zealand, Lieutenant Colonel Hulme. Although they settled on the farm in Tamaki, he was spending a substantial amount of time on the Barrier on what he called his cattle ranch.

  • Timber Production and Reclamation at Kohukohu, Northland, New Zealand (1879–1912)
    AUSTRALASIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 33, 2015 Making productive space from sawmill waste: timber production and reclamation at Kohukohu, Northland, New Zealand (1879–1912) GRETEL BOSWIJK1 and DUNCAN MUNRO This paper explores local-scale landscape change as a consequence of waste disposal practices employed by the New Zealand (NZ) timber industry during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and considers whether there was concern about effects of these practices on receiving environments. The research focuses on Kohukohu, Northland, where a steam-powered sawmill operated between 1879 and 1912. Sawn waste was used to reclaim six acres (2.43 ha) of land at Kohukohu, which converted waste material into something useful (lining and fill) and improved the working conditions of the mill by creating flat land. Local concern about disposal of sawn waste by reclamation appears limited until the early 1900s, when anxiety about the negative effect of sawdust on the harbour increased. Such local scale modifications occurred elsewhere in the kauri district and are a (sometimes forgotten) legacy of industrialised timber production in NZ. INTRODUCTION sawmill business, reconstruct the reclamation process, and assess whether there was any concern expressed locally and In 1891 the New Zealand Herald ‘Country News’ for elsewhere about the environmental impact of sawn waste on Hokianga, in northern New Zealand (NZ), reported that ‘The the bay and harbour.
