  • Introduction to the Okains Bay Maori and Colonial Museum
    Introduction to the Okains Bay Maori and Colonial Museum 18 May 2010 Box 51 Okains Bay Mail Centre Banks Peninsula 7583 Telephone/fax (03) - 3048611 www.okainsbaymuseum.co.nz Executive Summary The Okains Bay Maori and Colonial Museum is a major visitor attraction and educational resource for the province of Canterbury. Located in the valley of Okains Bay on Banks Peninsula, one of Canterbury’s most beautiful and historically intact places, the Museum holds an extraordinarily rich collection of taonga Maori and early New Zealand rural Colonial material. The Museum complex comprises a group of buildings including traditional Maori built heritage and relocated Colonial buildings presenting the visitor with a unique, tangible and genuine way to both appreciate and facilitate learning about the bi-cultural roots of early New Zealand. The Museum began as the private collection of Murray Thacker, the great grandson of eight of the earliest pioneers to settle in Okains Bay. The heart of the collection is formed by taonga collected by Murray and his ancestors and family pioneering possessions. When the collection became too large to exhibit in his private home, Murray established the Museum on the site of the former Okains Bay Dairy Factory and then gifted the entire collection, the site and its buildings to a public trust. The Museum opened on Waitangi day in 1977 and since then the Museum has gone from strength to strength. Murray has worked tirelessly as the Director of the Museum to care for and augment the collections, and to inspire many others from the immediate community, Te Runanga o Koukourarata, Christchurch City and around the entire country to support the Museum with donations of their time, artefacts, skills, knowledge and energy.

To my knowledge there is no historic information on the ecological state of these mudflats yet there is potential for impacts from human activities and there has been for some time. Concerns expressed by local residents about the health of the mudflats prompted this study. To assess the state of the mudflats sediment and biota samples were collected from four sites in both Governors Bay and Charteris Bay and six sites from Head of the Bay. Sediment samples were analysed for sediment grain size, organic matter content and concentrations of total nitrogen, total recoverable phosphorus and the metals copper, lead and zinc. The biota collected on a 0.5 mm screen were identified and counted and all cockles present were measured. The sediment at sampled sites ranged from very muddy, to muddy, to muddy sand, to muddy sand with shell/rock fragments.

Until recently there has been little fundamental work on beach processes in New Zealand, though many of our coastal developments are highly susceptible to damage by erosion or accretion of beach sediments. The author presents in this memoir results from a general study of a group of Canterbury beaches. Here the geographic features minimise the number of variables in the hydrological environment and thus allow a more ready consideration of factors in the process of beach development.
