Visit the beautiful Bay of Islands, a year-round destination and birthplace of New Zealand. Journey to New Zealand’s northernmost point, discover the country’s cultural heritage at Waitangi and experience the natural beauty of the region on a scenic cruise. Day 1: Auckland to Paihia (148 miles) Cross the Waitemata Harbour traveling north to Whangarei and Paihia. The Bay of Islands is one of the most historical parts of New Zealand. At Waitangi on February 6th, 1840, the Maori Chiefs ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria. The Treaty House is now an historic museum. The coastal waters are renowned for thrilling deep-sea fishing for marlin, swordfish and other game fish. Light-tackle fishing for yellowtail provides year-round sport. Day 2: Paihia Paihia is great for relaxing or chilling on the beach. Perhaps visit the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. Take a tour and view the magnificent war canoe, Maori meeting house and the Treaty House (allow 1-2 hours). Admission is NZ$25/adult or you can take a guided tour NZ$35. Cultural performances and hangi are available (Nov – Apr) and are additional. This afternoon visit historic and romantic Russell. Take a Russell mini tour or wander around the town by yourself. Russell Museum tells you the history of the town. Don't miss Christ Church - NZ's oldest church and Pompallier - NZ's Heritage Printery. If it is a nice day, take a walking track up to the Flagstaff Hill look out - magnificent views! (allow 1-3 Hours). Day 3: Cape Reinga and 90 Mile Beach (266 miles round-trip) Unfortunately you cannot take your rental vehicle on 90 Mile Beach, but you can drive up Hwy 1 to Cape Reinga, the most accessible northernmost tip of New Zealand, where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet. Cape Reinga is a place of intense cultural and spiritual significance to Maori people. Visit the Cape Reinga lighthouse and see the spectacular swirl of currents. Stop for a picnic lunch at Tapotupotu Bay, a short distance before the Cape. Day 4: Kerikeri – Auckland (223 miles) Start making your way back to Auckland. Drive to Kerikeri (14 miles) and visit Stone Store & Kemp House, Rainbow Falls, Wineries, Orchards, Arts & Crafts Shops, Chocolate Factory, local Cafes and Restaurants etc. Continue to Dargaville and stop in the Waipoua Forest where well-maintained tracks give access to giant Kauri Trees up to 2,000 years old. At Dargaville, you can visit the maritime museum, which tells the story of many shipwrecks from New Zealand’s early history. Continue to Auckland Airport where you can return your rental vehicle before boarding your flight home. Itinerary can be reversed based on your preference. Allow ample time to return the rental vehicle to Auckland Airport and board .

KIWI BIBLE HEROES Te Pahi
KIWI BIBLE HEROES Te Pahi Te Pahi was one of the most powerful chiefs in the Bay of Islands at the turn of the 19th century. His principal pa was on Te Puna, an Island situated between Rangihoua and Moturoa. He had several wives, five sons and three daughters. Having heard great reports of Governor Phillip King on Norfolk Island, Te Pahi set sail in 1805 with his four sons to meet him. The ship’s master treated Te Pahi and his family poorly during the trip and on arrival decided to retain one of his sons as payments for the journey. To make matters worse, Te Pahi discovered that King had now become the Governor of New South Wales and was no longer on Norfolk Island. Captain Piper, who was now the authority on Norfolk Island, used his powers to rescue Te Pahi and his sons and treated them kindly until the arrival of the Buffalo. Te Pahi and his sons continued their journey to Sydney on the Buffalo in their quest to meet King. In Sydney they were taken to King’s residence where they presented him with gifts from New Zealand. During their stay in Sydney, Te Pahi attended the church at Parramatta conducted by Samuel Marsden. Te Pahi had long conversations with Marsden about spiritual Sources: matters and showed particular interest in the Christian http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1t53/te-pahi accessed May 21, 2014 God. Marsden became impressed with the chief’s Keith Newman, Bible and Treaty, Penguin, 2010 Harris, George Prideaux Robert, 1775-1840 :Tippahee a New Zealand chief / strong, clear mind.

REVIEWS (BOOKS) 181 Knowledge Gaps in Pacific Historiography and Provides a New Approach for Weaving Diversity Into an Interconnected Relationship
REVIEWS (BOOKS) 181 knowledge gaps in Pacific historiography and provides a new approach for weaving diversity into an interconnected relationship. It shows both promise and ingenuity. STEVEN RATUVA Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies Entanglements of Empire: Missionaries, Māori, and the Question of the Body. By Tony Ballantyne. Auckland University Press, Auckland, 2014. 376pp. NZ price: $39.99. ISBN: 9781869408268. In Entanglements of Empire, Tony Ballantyne reconstructs the British missionary enterprise in a strongly anthropological work. The framing of the book is imperial history, but the modality is decidedly ‘cultural turn’, exploring how missionary mentalities and theologies were ‘embodied’ in practice on the ground. The body – both individual bodies and their social organization – thus provides the central motif of the book. Ballantyne distinguishes what he is doing from recent works framed as proto-New Zealand narratives that conceptualize meetings or encounters between two cultural worlds, including Anne Salmond’s important work and Vincent O’Malley’s The Meeting Place (2012). Ballantyne is critical of the way this analytical frame buttresses and sometimes reflects New Zealand’s ‘state ideology of biculturalism’. Against such nationalisms, his is a ‘new imperial history’ in which the Bay of Islands is considered as a particular site that was progressively incorporated into ever-expanding imperial networks. Neither is the book a narrative history, instead being a series of thematically and historiographically driven assessments of the New Zealand Protestant missionary archive, with a focus on the period from 1814 to 1840. In Chapter One, Ballantyne deftly outlines the growth of British imperial reach into the Pacific, beginning with Cook’s voyages.

Te Reo O Te Tai Tokerau: the Need for Consolidation and National Implementation
ACCESS: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN EDUCATION 1989, VOL. 8, NO. 1, 10–23 Te Reo O Te Tai Tokerau: The need for consolidation and national implementation Michael Peters, David Para and James Marshall University of Auckland and Advisory Service for Education of Maori and Pacific Islanders, Department of Education ABSTRACT This paper comprises three sections: an introductory section which provides an historical context to the project Te Reo O Te Tai Tokerau; a descriptive section which briefly outlines the project and its evaluation; and a final section which discusses national implementation of the scheme and the need for its consolidation. Te Taitokerau - Te Hiku o te Ika nui a Maui Ko to reo he mana - he wehi - he ihi - he wairua whangaia a tatou tamariki mokopuna i te taonga tupuna riei Kia tupu ai ratou i roto i te korowai o te reo a o tatou matua tupuna. Ko te timatanga o te kauri rangatira Ko te kakano nohinohi. Paki Para We wish to acknowledge the support, encouragement and manaakitanga of our whanau and kaumatua - without their guidance and commitment there would have been no project. Ko koutou te tauihu o tenei waka. This is a revised version of a paper presented to NZARE Conference, Massey University, Palmerston North, 4 December, 1988. Introduction In a recent series of articles, edited by Bernard Spolsky (1986), a number of contributors with Third World field experience have noted the way in which the use of a former colonial language as a substitute for a mother tongue in education has ‘reproduced inequality’, ‘prevented the attainment of high levels of bi-lingualism’, ‘stunted cognitive growth … and creativity in children’ and resulted in ‘the atrophy of indigenous cultures’.

BAY OF ISLANDS PLANNING LIMITED PO Box 795 Kerikeri Phone [09] 407 5253; Email – [email protected] District Services Department Far North District Council John Butler Centre Kerikeri Attention: Ms Louise Wilson 1 August 2019 Dear Louise, Re: Proposed Subdivision at 19 Lily Pond Lane, Haruru Our client Nicola Cadenhead seeks resource consent to subdivide her property at 19 Lily Pond Lane in Haruru. The subdivision has been assessed as a Non-Complying Activity however, while this is the case it is concluded that the effect of undertaking this subdivision will be no more than minor on the surrounding environment. A Landuse consent is also required for the existing Lily Pond toilet block located on the Lily Pond Council Reserve which will continue to encroach on the permitted 10m setback standard. Given that we were unable to find any resource consent for setback on the Council Reserve and given that we will be topping up this area we have opted to pay for the standard subdivision application fee rather than the combined Subdivision and Landuse application fee. This consent will ensure that the existing toilet block is covered for the setback from boundaries breach. No assessment of any other rules pertaining to the location of these facilities have been undertaken. Please note that Appendix F has not been attached electronically to this application. We request that this appendix does not go onto any public forum given the personal medical details included within this letter. This Appendix will be provided in hard copy to Councils John Butler Centre at our earliest convenience.
