  • Parish with a Mission by Geoff Pryor

    Parish with a Mission by Geoff Pryor

    Parish with a Mission By Geoff Pryor Foreword - The Parish Today The train escaping Wellington darts first into one tunnel and then into another long, dark tunnel. Leaving behind the bustle of the city, it bursts into a verdant valley and slithers alongside a steep banked but quiet stream all the way to Porirua. It hurtles through the Tawa and Porirua parishes before pulling into Paremata to empty its passengers on the southern outskirts of the Plimmerton parish. The train crosses the bridge at Paremata with Pauatahanui in the background. There is no sign that the train has arrived anywhere particularly significant. There is no outstanding example of engineering feat or architecture, no harbour for ocean going ships or airport. No university campus holds its youth in place. No football stadium echoes to the roar of the crowd. The whaling days have gone and the totara is all felled. Perhaps once Plimmerton was envisaged as the port for the Wellington region, and at one time there was a proposal to build a coal fired generator on the point of the headland. Nothing came of these ideas. All that passed us by and what we are left with is largely what nature intended. Beaches, rocky outcrops, cliffs, rolling hills and wooded valleys, magnificent sunsets and misted coastline. Inland, just beyond Pauatahanui, the little church of St. Joseph, like a broody white hen nestles on its hill top. Just north of Plimmerton, St. Theresa's church hides behind its hedge from the urgency of the main road north. The present day parish stretches in an L shape starting at Pukerua Bay through to Pauatahanui.

  • Historical Snapshot of Porirua

    Historical Snapshot of Porirua

    HISTORICAL SNAPSHOT OF PORIRUA This report details the history of Porirua in order to inform the development of a ‘decolonised city’. It explains the processes which have led to present day Porirua City being as it is today. It begins by explaining the city’s origins and its first settlers, describing not only the first people to discover and settle in Porirua, but also the migration of Ngāti Toa and how they became mana whenua of the area. This report discusses the many theories on the origin and meaning behind the name Porirua, before moving on to discuss the marae establishments of the past and present. A large section of this report concerns itself with the impact that colonisation had on Porirua and its people. These impacts are physically repre- sented in the city’s current urban form and the fifth section of this report looks at how this development took place. The report then looks at how legislation has impacted on Ngāti Toa’s ability to retain their land and their recent response to this legislation. The final section of this report looks at the historical impact of religion, particularly the impact of Mormonism on Māori communities. Please note that this document was prepared using a number of sources and may differ from Ngati Toa Rangatira accounts. MĀORI SETTLEMENT The site where both the Porirua and Pauatahanui inlets meet is called Paremata Point and this area has been occupied by a range of iwi and hapū since at least 1450AD (Stodart, 1993). Paremata Point was known for its abundant natural resources (Stodart, 1993).

    Gorge Gazette News About Trelissick Park, the Ngaio Gorge and Streams

    Gorge Gazette News about Trelissick Park, the Ngaio Gorge and Streams Abbreviations: WCC Wellington City Council TPG Trelissick Park Group GW Greater Wellington Regional Council DOC Department of Conservation Website www.trelissickpark.org.nz (includes past Gorge Gazettes and Park map) Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TrelissickParkGroup FEBRUARY 2021 An Avian Invasion – Eva Durrant They came in from the north and east forming a flock of over 50 in the centre of Trelissick Park shaking the tree branches into constant movement. This wasn’t a flock of small birds but one of our largest, the kererū. I did not know we had 50 kererū in the area but they put on quite a show recently in one of their annual flocking events. [Eva and Barry Durrant’s house overlooks the lower Kaiwharawhara valley and they delight in witnessing the increasing bird life]. Why? Tawa and karaka trees, probably. They grow everywhere in the lower Kaiwharawhara valley. DOC says that ‘since the extinction of the moa, the kererū and parea are Photo: Bill Hester now the only bird species that are big enough to swallow large fruit, such as those of karaka, miro, tawa and taraire, and disperse the seed over long distances.’ Peter Reimann’s tawa tree above Heke Reserve nearby is laden with more seed than ever seen before. The ice-cream container in the photo, 1/3 full, is only a small sample. They are now planted in a seed tray, optimistically. Good enough to eat? Why Also? The wonderful bird life now in Wellington no doubt mainly comes from the Zealandia ‘halo effect’ and ardent predator control groups throughout the suburbs.
