  • The Early History of New Zealand
    THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES *f Dr. T. M. Hockkn. THE EARLY HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND. BEING A SERIES OF LECTURES DELIVERED BEFORE THE OTAGO INSTITUTE; ALSO A LECTURETTE ON THE MAORIS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND. By The Late Dr. T. M. Hocken. WELLINGTON, N.Z. JOHN MACKAY, GOVERNMENT PRINTER. I9I4. MEMOIR: DR. THOMAS MORLAND HOCKEN, The British nation can claim the good fortune of having on its roll of honour men and women who stand out from the ranks of their fellows as examples of lofty patriotism and generosity of character. Their fine idea of citizenship has not only in the record of their own lives been of direct benefit to the nation, but they have shone as an example to others and have stirred up a wholesome senti- ment of emulation in their fellows. There has been no lack of illustrious examples in the Motherland, and especially so in the last century or so of her history. And if the Motherland has reason to be proud of her sons and daughters who have so distinguished themselves, so likewise have the younger nations across the seas. Canada, South Africa, Aus- tralia, New Zealand, each has its list of colonists who are justly entitled to rank among the worthies of the Empire, whose generous acts and unselfish lives have won for them the respect and the gratitude of their fellows ; and, as I shall hope to show, Thomas Morland Hocken merits inclusion in the long list of national and patriotic benefactors who in the dominions beyond the seas have set a worthy example to their fellows.

  • La Crème De La Crème
    W E L C O M E T O T H E H O C K E N Friends of the Hocken Collections B U L L E T I N NU M B E R 26 : November 1998 La Crème de la Crème THE MOVE of the Hocken Library, reconsolidated with Hocken Archives, into the old Otago Co-operative Dairy Company building on Anzac Avenue, is an opportune time to examine some of the material on the dairy industry held within the Hocken collections. While the NZ dairy industry is now more often associated with Taranaki and the Wai- kato, Otago has a special place in the history of that industry. The first co-operative dairy factory in New Zealand was located on the Otago Peninsula, and the country’s first refrigerated butter export sailed on the s.s.Dunedin from Port Chalmers in 1882. Both were seminal events for the industry that was to become one of New Zealand’s most important export earners. The first moves away from simple domestic production of butter and cheese towards a more commercial operation in New Zealand were probably made either on Banks Peninsula or in Taranaki in the 1850s. In 1855, some five tons of butter and 34 tons of cheese were exported from Banks Peninsula to the rest of New Zealand and Australia, while at some time during the decade a ‘factory’ was established in Taranaki to collect milk from several suppliers to produce cheese for local sale. However, the birth of the co-operative system which came to typify the New Zealand dairy industry took place in Otago.

  • Surface Water Quality the Water of Leith and Lindsay's Creek Kaikorai
    Surface water quality The Water of Leith and Lindsay’s Creek Kaikorai Stream Waitati River and Carey’s Creek © 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 1-877265-67-5 Published August 2008 Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Carey’s Creek i Foreword To help protect water quality, the Otago Regional Council (ORC) carries out long- term water quality monitoring as part of a State of the Environment programme. To supplement this information, targeted and detailed short-term monitoring programmes are also implemented in some catchments. This report provides the results from more detailed investigations carried out in three catchments: Water of Leith Kaikorai Stream Waitati River and Carey’s Creek The Water of Leith and Kaikorai Stream are both located in Dunedin and drain typical residential and industrial areas. Both watercourses have many stormwater outfalls which compromise water quality. The Waitati River and Carey’s Creek have little development in their catchments. The upper catchments are forested while lower in the catchment, pasture dominates. Water quality is generally very good. This report forms a baseline study from which ORC and local community programmes can work together to address various issues in the catchments. It is hoped that these catchment programmes will promote environmentally sound practices which will sustain and improve water quality. Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Careys Creek Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Carey’s Creek ii Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Careys Creek Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Carey’s Creek iii Executive summary Between July 2007 and March 2008, the Otago Regional Council (ORC) carried out intensive water quality monitoring programmes in the following catchments: Water of Leith Kaikorai Stream Waitati River and Carey’s Creek The aim of this monitoring was to establish a baseline water quality.
