Middlemore railway station

Middlemore railway station is on the Southern Line and Eastern Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. The station consists of an island platform and a side platform connected by two pedestrian overbridges. Access to the station is via Hospital Road: it is next to Middlemore Hospital. History The North Island Main Trunk line through South Auckland was opened on 20 May 1875, as part of the Auckland and Mercer Railway, built by Brogden & Co, who extended it from Penrose. Duplication of the tracks was completed in December 1927. In 1943, during World War II, construction commenced on a 300-bed hospital in Ōtāhuhu. It was built to accommodate sick and injured servicemen from the war in the Pacific and known as the Ōtāhuhu Military Hospital. After the war in the Pacific ended it became a civilian hospital, administered by the Auckland Hospital Board. The board decided in 1944 that the hospital would be known as Middlemore Hospital, the name of the Thompson family farm close to where the hospital was built, referencing a family member from the 18th Century. Middlemore Station opened in July 1947, shortly after the hospital opened. In September 2007, Counties Manukau District Health Board, ARTNL and ARTA opened a new railway footbridge and staff walkway at the station. The footbridge provides safer access to Middlemore Hospital from the staff carpark. As part of the 2007 New Zealand budget it was announced that the station would be electrified. By January 2014 wires had been installed. In July 2015 electric trains began operating all passenger services. In 2023, KiwiRail commenced an upgrade at Middlemore station. The station upgrade included building a new third platform to service the third main line. As part of the third platform construction, Platform 1 was converted from a side platform into an island platform. The upgrade was completed in 2025. Services Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Britomart, Manukau, and Pukekohe via Middlemore. The typical weekday off-peak timetable is: 6 tph to Britomart, consisting of: 3 tph via Glen Innes (Eastern Line) 3 tph via Penrose and Newmarket (Southern Line) 3 tph to Manukau 3 tph to Pukekohe Bus routes 314 and 321 serve Middlemore Station.

Victoria Lake (New Zealand)

Victoria Lake is a small artificial lake in Hagley Park, Christchurch. Victoria Lake is a 19,294.63 square metres (207,685.7 ft2) lake in the centre of Christchurch, New Zealand, immediately west of Albert Lake. Hagley Park was established by the Canterbury Provincial Council and began to take shape in the 1860s, but a small swamp in North Hagley Park remained. Victoria Lake was created in 1897 in celebration of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, by turning the swamp into a lake. A variety of native trees and sand were removed from the swamp to turn it into a lake. Historic photos of Victoria Lake are available on Te Papa's online archive here. In February 2011, the Christchurch earthquakes damaged Victoria Lake and it had to be drained to remove debris. It reopened in May 2012. Now, it is used privately by the Christchurch Model Yachting Club, who build and test model yachts on the lake's water. References

Mount Albert railway station

Mount Albert railway station is in the suburb of Mount Albert on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand, near Unitec, a local tertiary education provider, and is popular with Unitec students. It has an island platform and is reached by a footbridge from Carrington Road at the northern end, an overbridge from New North Road on the eastern side, and a subway that runs between Willcott Street and New North Road at the southern end. History 1880: Opened as one of the original stations on the North Auckland Line. 1908: A signal box was added. 1909: A new station building was built, after the previous one was destroyed by fire. 1920s: A siding to Mount Albert Quarry from the station is closed. 1966: The line was double-tracked and much of the station's infrastructure (including the signal box) was removed. The signal box is preserved at MOTAT. 2010: Significant discussion, including during the run-up to the local body elections, considered the station (and especially its access-ways and weather shelters) as dilapidated and in need of renewal. Also particularly criticised were the run-down shop rear areas fronting the railway station from the New North Road side. A former Auckland City councilor suggested that a green wall would offer an option to hide these unsightly areas behind low-cost, low-maintenance planting. 2013: The station was upgraded as part of a 2-stage Auckland Transport programme in anticipation of the Auckland railway electrification project. The $9 million upgrade, which included an overhead covered walkway from Carrington Road, new passenger shelters, and other enhancements, was ceremonially opened in July 2013. The second stage, which was to include a $1.23 million overbridge walkway to New North Road, was scheduled to be completed by August 2016. 2016: The overbridge, connecting the station directly to the pedestrian precinct of the Mount Albert shopping area, was opened on 17 September 2016. Services Western Line suburban train services, between Swanson and Britomart, are provided by Auckland One Rail on behalf of Auckland Transport. A number of bus services pass this station, allowing easy transfer, although there are no signs or information provided at the station. These include routes 22N, 22R, 66, 209, 221, 223 and the Outer Link. See also List of Auckland railway stations Public transport in Auckland References

Mountainview High School, New Zealand

Mountainview High School is a co-educational state high school in Timaru, New Zealand. The school runs from year nine to thirteen. The school has a roll of 449 students as of March 2026; more than 20 are International students. The school operates a house system, known as Whānau. The three Whānau – "Hiwi", "Moana", and "Whenua" – compete throughout the year for the Preen Shield. Mountainview has a 2 hectare farmlet attached, as well as a small orchard and beehives. Students rear bobby calves and poultry, as well as carry out basic plant propagation. History Mountainview High School was founded in 1901, and was originally named Timaru Technical College, and later Timaru College. In 1983 the school relocated to the current Pages Road site and was renamed Mountainview High School. The Timaru Technical College site became Aoraki Polytechnic. An adjacent site was also purchased by the Ministry of Education for a new 'Timaru North Intermediate' to coincide with Watlington Intermediate in the south of Timaru. After school numbers began to decline the plan was abandoned, and Watlington Intermediate closed in late 2004. In 2005, Mountainview faced a merger alongside many other secondary schools within the proximity of the South Canterbury District due to educational changes as discussed with Education Minister of New Zealand, Trevor Mallard. Despite the unpopularity of this decision to close down schools to save taxpayer money, many had to comply with governing rule. This resulted in students from other secondary schools (namely Pleasant Point High School) to transfer to Mountainview and integrate with the students already in attendance at Mountainview High School. Enrolment As of March 2026, Mountainview High School has roll of 449 students, of which 61 (13.6%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 494, placing it amongst schools whose students have many socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to decile 4 under the former socio-economic decile system).

Moutoa Gardens

Moutoa Gardens, cunoscut și sub numele de Pākaitore, este un parc din orașul Wanganui, Noua Zeelandă. Numit după Bătălia de pe Insula Moutoa din cel de-al doilea război Taranaki, găzduiește un monument al bătăliei inscripționat „În amintirea eroilor care au căzut la Moutoa, la 14 mai 1864, în apărarea dreptului și a ordinii împotriva fanatismului și a barbarismului”. De asemenea, în acest parc se află o statuie a lui John Ballance, organizatorul unei trupe de cavalerie voluntare în războiul lui Titokowaru și, mai târziu, premier al Noii Zeelande. Din punct de vedere istoric, Pākaitore a fost o așezare tradițională de pescuit timp de sute de ani și mai târziu a devenit o piață. Zona era considerată un sanctuar unde toate triburile erau egale și poliția nu putea intra. Între 1839 și 1848, New Zealand Company a achiziționat terenuri în Wanganui în numele coroanei de la oameni și triburi care ar fi putut să aibă puține pretenții sau deloc asupra acestora. Parcul a fost ocupat timp de 79 de zile în 1995, în semn de protest față de o revendicare din Tratatul de la Waitangi, o acțiune care a împărțit orașul și națiunea și a obținut o atenție semnificativă din partea poliției. Populația iwi pretinde că site-ul era locul unde se aflase un sat maori în care se desfășura comerțul, sat lăsat populației māori în momentul vânzării Wanganui din 1848. În timpul protestului, statuia lui Ballance a fost decapitată; o statuie de-a lui Ballance care să o înlocuiască pe cea decapitată a fost comandată în 2009 și plasată în afara clădirilor Consiliului regional Wanganui. Cel mai important monument din Moutoa Gardens îl onorează astăzi pe Te Keepa Te Rangihiwinui NZC, un comandant militar al maorilor și important aliat al forțelor guvernamentale în timpul războaielor din Noua Zeelandă. Cunoscut mai întâi sub numele de Te Rangihiwinui și mai târziu sub numele de maiorul Kemp, el a condus forțelor aliate pro-guvernamentale ale maorilor care i-au învins pe rebelii maori pe insula Moutoa. Inscripția de pe piedestal spune că monumentul a fost ridicat de oamenii din Noua Zeelandă pentru a-l onora pe „marele șef maor, soldat curajos și aliat puternic al guvernului neozeelandez”. Note
