  • Biography of Frederick Wilhelm Koberstein of New Zealand
    Biography of Frederick Wilhelm Koberstein of New Zealand The beginning starting from the end: Frederick Wilhelm Sr. died January 21 1912 at Rongotea, New Zealand at the age of 94. Here is his obituary from the newspaper, “Feilding Star” Volume VI, Issue 1700, 22 January 1912. This serves a good record to survey this first family and their locations at his death. It says he arrived in this district in 1876, the same year of their immigration. One can surmise from this that they had arrangements made in advance to come to this area. The obituary says he was a good citizen, had the respect of all his neighbours and had a strong constitution. This document indicates he had five sons and one daughter. Now, we have to make a correlation between the names given here and those above. The daughter, Emily, is obviously the now married Mrs. C. Hartley living at Wellington. Here are the five sons: 1. William now living at Colyton (Manawatu district). This must be Frederick Wilhelm Jr. called William to distinguish him from his father who was often referred to as F.W. in the Feilding Star newspaper. 2. Amco of Patea (South Taranaki district of Taranaki region). It is unclear which of the remaining three this is. 3. Carl of Queensland (The only Queensland apparent on modern maps is near Sydney Australia. This name must be for a town no longer known by that name. It is unclear which of the remaining three this is. 4. Fred of Wellington (Wellington region). This would obviously be Ferdinand.

  • Review of Manawatu Farming
    REVIEW OF MANAWATU FARMING W. L. OSBORN Farm Advisory OfJicer, MAF, Palmerston North J. D. COWIE Soil Bureau, DSIR, Palmerston North INTRODUCTION THE _M.ANAW.ATU is an old-estab!ished area of fel?i!e !and g:v:ng high levels of production under dairy, sheep, beef cattle, and cropping systems. This paper will deal with history, climate, topogaphy, soils, farming types, production levels, amenities, re- search, current trends, and take a look at the future. HISTORY The early colonization, as with other New Zealand districts, was coastal (Foxton, 1855) but settlers eventually moved up the Manawatu River. An early surveyor, J. T. Stewart, laid out the future city of Palmerston North on a clearing in the virgin cover of dense forest in 1870. The railway link to Wellington was completed in 1886, and links through the Gorge and to Wanganui in 1891. Foxton was bypassed by the railway and a branch line existed till after the Second World War. Levin and Feilding, being on the railway, have progressed and are now important centres. In the early days many village settlements were planned but few developed to the extent that they were laid out by the surveyors. Small holdings and small sections have been a hindrance to the development of the Manawatu and, though amalgamations have taken place in recent times, this problem will be mentioned again later in this paper. CLIMATE Typical of the west coast of the North Island, the climate is wet and windy and more reliable than in many other districts but droughts are still possible.

  • Geomorphic Impacts of a 100-Year Flood: Kiwitea Stream, Manawatu Catchment, New Zealand ⁎ Ian C
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Geomorphology 98 (2008) 84–95 www.elsevier.com/locate/geomorph Geomorphic impacts of a 100-year flood: Kiwitea Stream, Manawatu catchment, New Zealand ⁎ Ian C. Fuller Geography Programme, School of People, Environment and Planning, Massey University, Private Bag 11-222, Palmerston North, New Zealand Received 30 December 2005; received in revised form 4 May 2006; accepted 21 February 2007 Available online 13 May 2007 Abstract The geomorphic impacts of a 100-year flood are assessed in the Kiwitea Stream (254 km2), a tributary within the Manawatu River catchment (New Zealand), using sequential aerial photographs and reach-based morphological sediment budgeting. Channel expansion and avulsion eroded in excess of one million cubic metres of sediment over 1 km2 of floodplain along a 30-km-long reach of Kiwitea Stream. Channel transformation was spatially discontinuous and predominantly associated with large-scale bank erosion in response to a flood over 5 times bigger than the mean annual flood (annual recurrence interval (ARI) ∼100 years). Total energy expenditure of this flood in the Kiwitea was ∼14,900×103 J. The spatial discontinuity of channel transformation relates to valley floor and channel configurations. High stream powers generated in confined channels at bends produced catastrophic channel transformation. Where flood flows dissipated overbank, stream powers and the extent of channel transformation were reduced. Hydrologic, hydraulic and geomorphic variables can be invoked to thus explain the variability of geomorphic impacts encountered during this event. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
