This has been a great platform to educate locals about what physiotherapy can do for them. I am moving back to Methven (where I grew up) and my last day will be December 12. I have really enjoyed my time in Port Chalmers, this community means so much to me. From a small clinic in the front room at our house in 2012 then moving to Harbour Health in 2015, growing this business has been such a rewarding experience. I will be back to visit regularly and I have found a fabulous physiotherapist to take over the business and this column. The contact details will remain the same. Krystal is excited to take over running Harbour Physio from December 16. Krystal initially graduated from the University of Otago in 2011 and will bring a wealth of experience to the Practice. She has spent time working in a variety of settings including Kalgoorlie in remote Western Australia, Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty and a Sports Rehabilitation clinic in Dunedin. Krystal is passionate about helping people return to their functional goals and assist in keeping them active. She has a strong manual therapy background, and has experience in Dry Needling, Sports Taping, Clinical Pilates and Exercise Rehabilitation. Krystal is originally from Dunedin with strong family ties to Port Chalmers. This has included herself rowing for the Port Chalmers United Rowing club whilst at High School and University. Krystal is looking forward to meeting more of the community members in Port.

Dunedin – Supply Base The Dunedin supply base is situated at the head of the deep and sheltered Otago Harbour. At present, laydown areas, wharf space and bunkering facilities already exist. Provedoring, marine repair and servicing facilities are also currently available. Looking to the future, the Dunedin City Council and Port Otago own a significant amount of land in this area and have identified it for redevelopment with provisions already in place to allow for this. Planning is underway for the construction of an International Logistics Hub and Offshore Supply Base to support the oil industry in the southern part of New Zealand. This would allow for easy development into a major industrial cluster and logistics centre. 1 CBD Supply base area Engineering cluster Wharf area Key Features: A land area of more than 200,000m2 25 km from Dunedin International Airport It is fully serviced for all utilities 10 km from the associated deep water Port Chalmers Container Terminal 24 hours a day, seven days a week operation is a permitted activity Within the proposed area there is provision for a tank farm Commercial shipping of up to 8.0 metres draft and 32.2 Commercial terminal and Stevedore services metres beam catered for at the Dunedin wharf system Provision for bulk cargo, warehousing and storage facilities

  • Port Chalmers Breccia: Geology Building Site 7: Campus Geosites @ Otago
    DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND Port Chalmers Breccia: Geology Building Site 7: Campus Geosites @ Otago Location: In the quadrangle in front of the Geology Building (west side of building). Learning outcome: Understand and describe some key features of volcanic breccia. Interpret the formation of fragmented rocks. Keywords: Breccia; Clasts; Matrix; Volcano Figure 1: Front façade of the Geology Building showing Port Chalmers breccia that makes up the stairs and the lower part of the front wall (underneath the light colored Oamaru Limestone.). The letters refer to the individual clasts shown in Figure 3. Page 1 of 6 www.otago.ac.nz/geology DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND Breccia is a rock composed of broken fragments (“clasts”) held together by a finer-grained matrix. The Port Chalmers Breccia is a volcanic unit found around the town of Port Chalmers near the centre of the 16–11 million year old Dunedin Volcano. The Port Chalmers Breccia contains fragments of a wide range of rock types, from volcanic rocks (basalt-trachyte) to plutonic rocks (gabbro-syenite), as well as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Individual clasts range in size from 1–20 cm. The matrix is mostly composed of similar rock fragments <<1cm in size. The Port Chalmers Breccia was used extensively as a building stone during early settlers times because it is relatively easy to cut and could be extracted locally. Exercises 1) Refer to the Port Chalmers Breccia exposures shown in Figure 1. Would you describe this rock as having a homogenous and uniform texture, or is it made up of different fragments in a matrix? How many different types of fragment can you recognize? (You may need to have both a close look and a wider look to appreciate the textural variety at different scales of observation.) 2) What is the shape of the individual clasts? Are they angular or rounded, or something in between? 3) Describe the texture and color of the matrix material in between the individual clasts.

Born over the hill in Port Chalmers, Mark Brown didn’t have quite so far to travel. But when he and his wife, Clare, settled here 40 years ago, their nesting instincts seemed just as irrational. Locals warned they’d go bankrupt after the couple bought five acres on the flat where there’d been a Chinese market garden, down by the river. It cost $9200 and no one had ever paid that much for land in Waitati before. Brown did a bit of gardening work, but it was Clare who brought in the money, as a chemist at the Cadbury factory in Dunedin down the coast. When they applied for a mortgage, the banks wouldn’t take her salary into account; in those days, women were considered an unreliable investment because they might decide to go off and have children. They got the loan, anyway. Tucked into the southern scoop of the Blueskin Bay estuary, Waitati was a mini San Francisco back in the 1970s “and in scale, just as dynamic”, according to stories told of the time.
