The pioneering spirit of the Methodists in the 18th and 19th centuries in England and Scotland was brought to New Zealand by Methodist immigrants in the earliest days of the foundation of the new colony, and was carried to Masterton by that kindly man of high ideals, the late Mr. Henry Jones. In 1855 Mr. Jones and some of his family arrived in Masterton and built a home. Mr. Jones then sent to Wellington for the younger members of his family and they departed for Masterton on New Year's Day, 1856, and arrived in the newly-founded township on January 6, after a most trying journey, over rough bush tracks and the dangerous so- called road over the Rimutaka Hill, part of the trip having to be done on pack bullocks with hidden dangers lurking everywhere in treacherous, tracks and bridgeless rivers where mishaps were not always avoided through slips on the tracks (they could not be actually called roads) and the scouring of the rivers. Through the trials and tribulations of that nerve-wracking journey—through swamps and bogs, and fast-flowing rivers and sluggish dangerous creeks—the remainder of the family safely reached the town named after Mr.

Geoscience Society of New Zealand Miscellaneous Publication 151B, 48 p. Geoscience Society of New Zealand Miscellaneous Publication 151B ISBN: 978-0-473-45948-2 ISSN (online): 2230-4495 The image on the cover shows an oblique view of central New Zealand outlined in sunglint, viewed from the east and as seen from the International Space Station on January 24th, 2014. The view spans approximately 450 km south to north (left to right). The eastern margin of the North Island, closest to the viewer, was the site of prolonged, Permian to Cretaceous accretion above a subduction zone along the margin of Gondwana. Following opening of the Tasman Sea at ~83 Ma and the separation of Zealandia from Gondwana, the area developed as a passive margin until the propagation of the modern Pacific–Australia plate boundary through Zealandia, by Oligocene times. Since then, eastern North Island has been uplifted by accretion along the modern, active, Hikurangi subduction zone. 2 CONTENTS 1. IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION …………………………………………………………….
