  • Report on Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean South of Kaikoura
    Report on altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha Flows from Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to the South Pacific Ocean south of Kaikoura MAP 1 Source: MapToaster™ NZTopo250 sheets 18 and 19 Crown Copyright Reserved SUMMARY • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (TRoK) is seeking to alter the recorded name, Waiau River, to Waiau Uwha, without the generic term ‘River’. • TRoK’s tradition is that ‘Waiau Uwha, the female river, coupled with Waiau Toa [Clarence River], the male river, drifted away from each other. Waiau Uwha laments this separation and her tears swell the waters when melted snow enters the river’. • TRoK has also made a proposal to alter Clarence River to Waiau Toa. • The river flows generally south and then east for approximately 160 km from its source below Thompson Pass in the Spenser Mountains to its mouth at the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 50 km southwest of Kaikoura. • TRoK has provided evidence of the river being named ‘Waiauuwha’, ‘Waiau-uha’ and ‘Waiau uha’. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori has confirmed that the orthography ‘Waiau Uwha’ is correct, and advised that ‘ua’ can be a contraction of ‘uha’, which is a variant form of ‘uwha’. • Altering Waiau River to Waiau Uwha River (or Waiau Uwha without the generic term) would recognise the historical significance of the name, 1 Land Information New Zealand 20 April 2016 Page 1 of 9 Linzone ID A2160684 and support TRoK’s desire to have the meaning and story behind the name live on. It would also meet the NZGB’s statutory function to collect and encourage the use of original Māori names on official charts and maps.

  • James Macandrew of Otago Slippery Jim Or a Leader Staunch and True?
    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

    NZ ISSN 0048-0134 NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF FORESTRY SCIENCE New Zealand Forest Service, Forest Research Institute, Rotorua Editor: J. B. Lowry VOLUME 5 FEBRUARY 1976 NUMBER 3 ERUPTION, DETERIORATION AND DECLINE OF THE NELSON RED DEER HERD C M. H. CLARKE Forest Research Institute, New Zealand Forest Service, Rangiora (Received for publication 3 April 1975) ABSTRACT . Data are presented on population increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer during the period 1900-1960, throughout the northern South Island region. Densities are mapped at decade intervals between 1910 and 1950. Popula­ tion numbers increased rapidly after liberation in 1861; highest densities occurred between 1925 and 1940. Population peaks varied from 3-13 years in duration 10-30 years after colonisation and were primarily influenced by food supplies and speed of population increase in the different regions. Depletion of food supplies by deer is proposed as the reason for general physical deterioration of populations during the peak eruptive period. Decline of food supplies and associated population stress, coupled with harsh winter weather (especially in 1928-31 and 1939-42) resulted in overall herd decline. INTRODUCTION The liberations and dispersal of red deer {Cervus elaphus L.) throughout the northern South Island have been described in earlier papers (Clarke, 1971, 1973). In this paper patterns of increase, physical deterioration and decline of red deer populations during the period 1900-1960 are examined throughout the northern South Island districts. Although several brief accounts of the Nelson red deer herd were published during the 1920's (Thomson, 1922; Forbes, 1924; Donne, 1924), the only recent papers are N.Z.

  • New Zealand's Nine Provinces (1853–76)
    W E L C O M E T O T H E H O C K E N Friends of the Hocken Collections B U L L E T I N N U M B E R 3 1 : March 2000 New Zealand’s Nine Provinces (1853–76) N 30 June 1852, after half a century of constantly changing constitutional relationships with NSW and Great Britain, the passage by the British Parliament into law of the ‘Act O to Grant a Representative Constitution to the Colony of New Zealand’ at last gave this country a settled, semi-federal system of government. New Zealand became divided into the six provinces of Auckland, New Plymouth, Wellington, Nelson, Canterbury and Otago, each with its own legislature, built around the six original planned settlements or ‘colonies’. Above them was a General Assembly consisting of the Crown-nominated Legislative Council and a directly elected House of Representatives. Sir George Grey proclaimed the coming into force of this Constitution on 17 January 1853; the boundaries of the new provinces were gazetted on 28 February; and regulations governing the elections were gazetted on 5 March. Each province had a Superintendent and a Provincial Council, both directly elected by men aged 21 or older, with freehold worth £50 a year. Elections were held every four years, each Provincial Council electing its Speaker at the first meeting after an election. Amending legislation in 1856 provided for the appointment of a Deputy Superintendent when necessary. New provinces W.P.

  • Linwood Cemetery Tour Guide Updated 2013
    Linwood Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Linwood Cemetery Tour Guide Updated 2013 Linwood Cemetery History In the 1880s it was believed, both by the medical fraternity and the masses, that ‘it is not advisable on sanitary grounds that cemeteries should be situated in towns’. In September 1883 Dr. Courtney Nedwill advised the Christchurch City Council that ‘after a convenient period the further disposal of the dead should not be permitted in the city’. Negotiations were completed with the Linwood Town Board and Heathcote Road Board and an 18 acre burial reserve outside municipal boundaries dedicated. Although the Barbadoes Street Cemetery was to be the site of funerals for many years to come, the frequency of such occurrences was to be on a much reduced scale than had been the case in the first 30 years of the history of the metropolis. Linwood Cemetery is on sandy soil and was known as ‘the Sandhills’, ‘Corporation’ and then Linwood Cemetery. The Catholic portion begins half way up the hill on the side nearest Buckleys Road and extends to the tree line at the northern end. Wealthy members of the Canterbury Hebrew Congregation subscribed money so that, on 13 October 1864, the community could purchase one rood of land on Hereford Street. This was Part Rural Section 26 in the City of Christchurch. The title, a conveyance under the Deeds system, was vested in trustees as a burial ground. The original trustees were Louis Edward Nathan, Maurice Harris, Hyman Marks, David Davis and Henry Moss. New trustees were appointed in 1882, 1914 and 1926.
