A big thank you to Rex and Marilyn Brumby for sponsoring this newsletter 2 KAKA POINT COMMUNITY MARKET DAY 2021 From the organising team, Karen Broad, Christine Dennison and Wilma Ryan Many thanks to everyone who helped out in our extremely successful Market Day this year. We were over- whelmed with the number of people who turned out for this event. The new venue proved to be a great success. We knew this would be a learning curve for us all and have certainly picked up on improvements needed for next year. Special mention and thanks to Stephen and Adele Gold for mowing the paddocks and allowing us to use them for car parking. We couldn’t have managed without them!!! Huge thanks to Mark McKeever for managing the traffic control and to his wee band of helpers. There will definitely need to be a bigger band of helpers next year as regards traffic control! A big thank you to Geoff and Christine Dennison who every year donate all the sausages for the Community BBQ. This is very much appreciated. The bread, drinks, onions etc were also all donated by locals. Many thanks to Ken, Oscar, Greg, Robyn and Carolyn who kept the BBQ going all day. Community BBQ top right…. 3 Thanks to S.J.Allan (Septic and Chris) for putting in some extra toilets for us. To the Port Molyneux School’s Jade and Lyndon McNab, a massive thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful venue. You were absolutely amazing to deal with and your enthusiasm for the event was much appreciated and rubbed off on us all. The comments we have received since have been so positive and encouraging and we look forward to doing it again next year. Thank you everyone , Karen, Christine and Wilma Editor’s note.- We have had ten wonderful market days organised by Pauline Simpson, but this was an opportunity in 2021 for another team to try something different. And with initiative and courage they envisioned something new– and had many practical issues to navigate.. A huge learning curve. The punters came in their thousands. Stall holders report record sales—it was a triumph! On behalf of the community and all who enjoyed this wonderful day— A huge thank you to Karen, Wilma and Christine. 4 Kaka Point Surf Life Saving Club …. Report and photos Fiona Wilkinson Have had another busy year being on guard throughout the summer to help keep our beach safe. Our thanks to you all. But also, to hone their skills, Surf Life Savers revel in good competitions.! Throughout Waitangi Weekend the Kaka Point Beach was full of action-packed racing in the 2021 Otago Surf Life Saving Championships. (quite a while since this competition was held down here) On Saturday was the Junior events, where the Kaka Point Club had 17 keen participants. The events latest throughout most of the day and included both beach and water events from Under 8 through to Under 14. Well done to Lola Povey who was Under 8 Girls Champion and Hollie Harrex who was the overall Female champion, with the most points scored through the day.. Busy beach—photo Marilyn Beach flag race…. The Junior team Great results! Canoe race seniors... 5 Some participants went on to compete in the Southern Regional Championships, which includes all clubs from the South Island. The Juniors competed at Warrington where Max Wilkinson was overall Under 8 boys champion. Pictured at Warrington Beach—left is Jay Wilkinson who won a gold in a relay team race and Max Wilkinson, the under 8 champion. Below—the Under 8 8 relay team win gold, The Senior Southern Regional Championships were held at South Bright- on Beach in Christchurch. Four of our local volunteer Lifeguards (Isla Has- tie, Lucy Kell, Briana Dent and Maia Pryde) competed in the Junior Women's division in both the Long and Short Course Canoe races and received a Bronze medal in both events. The girls had put a lot of hours into training for the National event to be held at Ohope Beach, but unfortunately, this had to be cancelled due to covid. The team of girls who got two bronze medals at the Senior Southern Regional Championship at South Brighton Beach Pictures left to right ‘ Isla Hastie, Briana Dent, Maia Pryde, Lucy Kell Fantastic individual and team efforts. We are so proud of how vibrant and committed our KP Surf Lifesaving Club is. Going down memory lane…….by Shirley Scott The list of shop owners that Marilyn Dunn mentioned in the last newsletter made for interesting reading and the name McKechnie sent me down memory lane. Mr McKechnie also had the bus run from Kaka Point to Balclutha picking up not only working girls; June McPherson springs to mind, but also High School pupils from Paretai; the Caleys from the Cheese Factory (or was it the Punt that plied the Clutha River from the Cheese factory to Inch Clutha) ; and school children from Finegand to Balclutha Primary School, and not forgetting adult passengers travelling to Balclutha. As a small child from Finegand I recall Phil and Rona Williamson and a babe in arms using the service. The babe was wrapped in a beautiful shawl. [Even as a small child I was interested in beautiful hand crafts.] As a primer one pupil and the fact that the bus was for workers, the gap between school finishing and the bus leaving was some considerable time. Stretchers were erected in a class room and the littlies slept in the intervening time. Was there another bus operator between Mr McKechnie and Gordon Murray? Sometimes Gordon Murray’s bus didn’t behave as expected! Once I recall the bus stopping at Finegand [before the road alignments present today] and the boys having to push the bus to get it going; running alongside and hopping on board. I am sure there were no Health and Safety Regulations then! Needless to say the school was not impressed if we had to walk from Invertiel, but when a group arrived at the school gates closer to 10.00 all with the same story; “The bus broke down and we had to walk” who could argue. Perhaps walk should have been replaced with ‘dawdle’! Roll on several years when we lived in Rata Street in 1969. Geordie Ross, from Kaitangata, ran an excellent ser- vice for locals wishing to shop in Balclutha. From memory that service ran on a Thursday, directly after lunch, re- turning around 4.30pm. Mothers with prams and small children, older women who didn’t drive, or maybe there was only one family car, made good use of this service, with the added bonus we were dropped off at our gate, 6 Kaka Point Bowls report by Ken Stephens The club once again held the annual Tom Sheppard Memorial Trophy optional fours tournament on Boxing Day. We were blessed with a fine day after a light shower as we were starting. We had fourteen entries, including the regulars from Gore and Green Island, and everyone enjoyed the after- noon. As usual , the bowls were of a very high standard, and after four games, the Lindsay McCaughan skipped team emerged the winners. The other members were Ryan McCaughan, Stuart Wightman and Craig Sheppard. It was good to see the Sheppard name going on the trophy once again. The afternoon concluded with a lovely afternoon tea provided by the local ladies. We are hoping to fill the green with 2 more teams next year Waitangi Day Bowls Report The weather was perfect for the Kaka Point Bowls Waitangi Day roll-up. Thirty bowlers or would-be bowlers turned up , some from as far away as Christchurch, to participate in our annual event, which is designed to give everyone who wants to have a go, the opportunity to play some friendly bowls alongside someone who can give them some help. We split everyone into teams of three, 1 bowler and 2 beginners, and played three games of 6 ends. It was really pleasing to see some people who hadn’t played before, get the idea quite quickly. Of course there was a fair bit of competition between teams, and that all added to the fun. There certainly was a fair bit of laughing, especially when someone put their bowl away on the wrong bias. At the end of the three games, when the points were all tallied, the winning team, which won the Waitangi Day Roll-up Trophy, was Tineke and Henk Geers, skipped by Club President, Colin (Paddy) Paterson.

  • Presidents Report
    Otago Goldfields Heritage Trust, Inc President’s Report 2013 I am pleased to present my fourth annual report for the Otago Goldfields Heritage Trust. In the year just past the focus continued to be on the 150th celebrations marking the discovery of gold in Cromwell and elsewhere in the region. A New Generation Honours the Past One of the lasting memories of the gold 150 celebrations will be part played by the schools in our region. All schools took as their main theme for the year a remembrance of gold rush times and most children will have had the opportunity to pan for gold. The Trust has had a mobile gold panning set up which has been taken from school to school and while the “gold” might have been gold painted lead shot this doesn’t seem to have deterred the amateur sleuths. One of the Trust’s aims this past year has been to link today’s children with the events of the past. We are fortunate in Otago that there are still strong linkages with the land and its people and our wish is that today’s children and their parents will want to keep these memories alive into the future. To that end we were kept quite busy in the week immediately following the Cavalcade where we had involvement with 3 Schools visiting the Cromwell area and we were able to take them on guided walks, do some panning and provide information. We are very fortunate to have within our members such knowledgeable characters who we can call upon to interact with groups.

The Catlins, in the south-eastern corner of Te Waipounamu (the South Island) has been occupied by humans for at least a thousand years. The region is named after Captain Edward Cattlin (correct spelling), who bought land from the Käi Tahu chief Tuhawaiki in 1840, a month before the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. The “Catlins” name now refers to the whole coastline, coastal forests and farmland between the Clutha and Mataura Rivers. This area is now the largest expanse of native forest left on the east coast of the South Island. The extent and range of vegetation give it national importance for its botanical value. Unbroken sequences of vegetation stretch from the coast to sub- alpine tops. The Catlins’ remote and largely unspoilt coastline and bush provide a precious haven for wildlife. Many species of animals, insects, plants and fish found here are now rare or endangered.

  • Pp.221-234 Jøn Shipwrecks.Rev
    Australian Folklore 23, 2008 221 Shipwrecks, Tourism and The Catlins Coast * A. Asbjørn Jøn Maritime lore and cultural links to the Pacific Ocean hold a special place within New Zealand’s cultural and social traditions—thus forming a dominant strand of the national identity that begins with the history of the Māori people arriving in wakkas, and extending through early European whaling tales and settlement to the present day reputation of Auckland as the City of Sails, or the popular hit by New Zealand pop band Split Enz, Six Months in a Leaky Boat. That focus is particularly strong within the coastal region that stretches between South Otago and Southland, known as The Catlins. Located at 46°S, The Catlins coast has often been associated with the imagery of the ‘Roaring Forties’—and with a growing interest from big wave surfers and shipwreck buffs, coupled with historic sites such as the various whaling base camps, the region is presented as a place where pristine yet rugged coastline meets treacherous seas. Some of the other elements used within the tourist and lore ‘marketing’ of the region include the pioneering period’s timber industries and railway, marine wildlife such as penguins and sea lions, immaculate natural scenery and the ancient petrified forest that covers a substantial portion of The Catlins. In keeping with that nautical feel, The Catlins were named after the whaler, Captain Edward Cattlin. He had purchased a large section of land within the region from chief Hone Tuhawaiki of the Māori iwi, or tribe, Ngāi Tahu in 1840. Whilst the New Zealand Land Commission chose not to endorse the purchase, the region has come to bear Captain Cattlin’s name as his legacy.1 The Catlins’ main settlement is the rural township of Owaka, whose name is drawn from the Māori language, and means ‘place of canoes’.

    Community vulnerability to elevated sea level and coastal tsunami events in Otago Otago Regional Council Private Bag 1954, 70 Stafford St, Dunedin 9054 Phone 03 474 0827 Fax 03 479 0015 Freephone 0800 474 082 www.orc.govt.nz © Copyright for this publication is held by the Otago Regional Council. This publication may be reproduced in whole or in part provided the source is fully and clearly acknowledged. ISBN: 978 0 478 37630 2 Published July 2012 Prepared by Michael Goldsmith, Manager Natural Hazards, Otago Regional Council Community vulnerability to elevated sea level and coastal tsunami events in Otago i Executive summary The Otago coastline extends 480km from Chaslands in the south to the mouth of the Waitaki River in the north. Approximately 124,000 people (64% of Otago’s population) live within five kilometres of this coastline. A number of the communities situated along the coast have a level of hazard exposure to elevated sea level (or storm surge) and tsunami events. This report assesses the vulnerability (rather than the risk) 1 of these coastal communities to these hazards. The report draws on tsunami and storm surge modelling undertaken by National Institute of Water and Atmosphere (NIWA) for the Otago Regional Council (ORC) in 2007/08, coastal topography data and local knowledge of each community. This information has been used to assess how people and the communities in which they live would be affected during credible, high magnitude tsunami and elevated sea level events. It is intended that this information will: • increase community awareness of elevated sea level and tsunami hazard • inform decision making on the development of warning systems and evacuation plans • assist with the selection of land-use planning and development controls • increase the resilience of infrastructure and utilities (‘lifelines’).
