Around or in the vicinity of the Hawkesbury Lagoon/Inverary/Geelong/ Scotia/Stewart St. If you find them please could you take them to the Waikouaiti Library. Thank you. The idea of a community garden for Waikouaiti was given life when POWA received a small grant through their DCC Place Based Community Grant in 2018 to get it started. The DCC have granted them use of a patch of land at the back of the Events Centre to develop. At the moment the garden is a couple of sturdy raised beds behind the sign by the skate park (soon to be resurfaced) but more beds are planned. With the help of local organic garden designer Michelle Cox designs have been drawn up for a wicking bed, a pallet bed, a herb spiral, and a circular seat for resting around the massive macrocarpa stump. An active group has been working on developing these, using donated materials and volunteer labour as much as possible. They have chosen this motto to express what we want to achieve; “The Community of Waikouaiti are brought together to care for one another through the growing and sharing of healthy food”. We hope to grow and harvest fresh, delicious food and eventually produce generous harvests that allow sharing withinPhotos: the communityTracey Clare – providing produce for needy families, and becoming a venue where families can learn to grow food for themselves”. They have adopted from another garden group Guiding Principles relating to Health, Community and Sustainability which will be posted on the noticeboard on the back of their sign. After their progress they were a little disheartened to find that most of their first seedlings planted in thePhoto: beautiful ODT macrocarpa beds had been carefully dug out and presumably transferred to someone else's vegetable garden where we hope at least they are continuing to thrive. The committee was saddened that the person who took the seedlings thought it was more important to save a few dollars a punnet from the dairy or Hammer Hardware would have cost, than to continue to grow them up for a harvest to benefit our wider community. By stealing the plants they were stealing from themselves. To view menus They want community spirit to prevail over selfishness, and if you do too please come to our first public event, which will be the building of our herb spiral, starting 1pm on Saturday 16 November (Sunday 17 if wet).

  • Karitane's Contribution to Public Health in New
    INTRODUCTION: KARITANE’S CONTRIBUTION TO PUBLIC HEALTH IN NEW SOUTH WALES 1923-2000 Karitane is a society incorporated in NSW that commenced operation as the Australian Mothercraft Society (AMS) Plunket System in 1923, and become the Karitane Mothercraft Society (KMS) in 1970. Like the Plunket Society in New Zealand that it was modelled after, Karitane’s activities have always been connected with assisting mothers in the care and feeding of their babies. Karitane is an unusual name for an organisation in New South Wales (NSW); not immediately identifiable with either Australia’s British heritage or its Aboriginal culture. Some people in New South Wales will know that the name hails from a small peninsula on the coast of Otago in New Zealand’s South Island and may even identify it with Sir Truby King. The King family had a holiday cottage at Karitane and the name was adopted for the mothercraft homes set up by New Zealand’s Plunket Society in the main towns.1 Thesis and rationale This thesis is about Karitane’s part in the history of public health in NSW from the perspective of the development of mother and baby welfare services, an area of concern for the State’s public health authorities throughout the twentieth century. It examines how and why Karitane, a voluntary organisation, developed its services in NSW from 1923 to 2000; what did Karitane contribute to mother and baby welfare in that period? The main justification for the study was a paucity of information about Karitane in the literature on the development of mothercraft services in NSW.

    Isolating Madness: Photographs from Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, 1887-1907 Elizabeth Laing For my mum, thank you for taking me to the museum. A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Victoria University of Wellington 2014 For my mum, thank you for taking me to the museum. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the access granted by the Southern District Health Board, and the assistance of staff from the Archives New Zealand branch in Dunedin. I would particularly like to acknowledge Vivienne Cuff, who ably facilitated my research during my visits to the reading room, and patiently responded to all of my subsequent enquiries. As an agreed condition of access, I have concealed the identities of the patients discussed by using pseudonyms. I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor, Geoffrey Batchen, whose conversations and steadfast support inspired this thesis in countless ways. I hope that it meets with his approval. Abstract Frederic Truby King (1858-1938) is an eminent figure in New Zealand history. His name continues to flourish in contemporary society, due in part to its affiliation with the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society. However, the general populace is still relatively unaware of the time that King spent employed as the medical superintendent of Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, on the remote outskirts of Dunedin. The prevailing image of King during this period is of a single-minded physician, whose career was in a state of acceleration towards the establishment of Plunket.

The competition was created to increase the awareness of Orokonui Ecosanctuary and herald what can only be described as the ultimate outcome for staff and supporters.

DISCOVERIES Blazing New Trails In New Zealand, a wave of Indigenous-tourism experiences is opening up the history of some of the archipelago’s most remote and intriguing lands. BY BRANDON PRESSER IN THE 13TH CENTURY, Polynesian navigators set foot on New Zealand’s North Island, an untouched world of primordial forests, gushing rivers, and exotic animals. They named the realm Aotearoa, or “land of the long white cloud,” and quickly adapted their seafaring culture to the cool, misty environment. Today, many of the Maori’s ancient traditions TRUST A OWHAOKO OF continue to thrive and evolve on both of New Zealand’s main islands.
