Веллингтонский ботанический сад

Веллингтонский ботанический сад (англ. Wellington Botanic Garden) — ботанический сад в Веллингтоне. Занимает площадь в 25 га и расположен в долине между пригородами Веллингтона Торндон и Келбёрн у верхней точки Веллингтонского фуникулёра. Сад находится в ведении городского совета Веллингтона и включает в себя охраняемый природный лес, коллекции растений и сезонные экспозиции, а также обширный комплекс цветников, включая розарий. Фонд садов Новой Зеландии классифицирует его как сад национального значения. В 2004 году он был внесён в список исторических территорий организации Heritage New Zealand. На территории ботанического сада также установлены как большие скульптуры, так и резные фигурки. До середины XIX века на данной территории находились па племени Те Ати Ава, где маори занимались сельским хозяйством. В 1844 году британцы отобрали у поселения участки городского пояса Веллингтона, но вернули часть в 1847 году. Сэр Джордж Грей, генерал-губернатор Новой Зеландии, выкупил в 1852 году эти земли, но в 1865 году продал Веллингтону для общественного парка. В 1868 году здесь был организован ботанический сад на участке площадью около пяти гектаров. га (13 акров) в 1868 году. Официальное название, «Ботанический сад Веллингтона», он получил с принятием Закона о ботаническом саде 1869 года. В 1871 году его территория была расширена до 28 га. Некоторые животные содержались на территории ботанического сада до основания Веллингтонского зоопарка в 1906 году. В течение XX века на территории ботанического сада регулярно происходили реконструкции, строительство новых зданий и сооружений, вплоть до изменения рельефа. Так, в начале века были засыпаны несколько оврагов, а на выровненной площадке создана спортивная площадка Андерсон-парк, в 1927 году образовано несколько лужаек для отдыха. Также были построены ротонда возле пруда (1907), розарий Леди Норвуд (1953), Дом бегоний (1960), сад трав (1970-е годы), информационный центр (1983—1987), образовательный центр «Дом на дереве» (1991) и тропа со скульптурами (1991). C 1900-х годов на лужайке у ротонды регулярно проводятся мероприятия с живой музыкой. В Ботаническом саду Веллингтона сохранились остатки равнинного широколиственного леса, эти участки занимают около 8 га возле ручья Ферн-Глен. Здесь преобладают местные новозеландские виды Kunzea ericoides, Pterophylla racemosa, Didymocheton spectabilis и хинау. Из птиц сохранился новозеландский попугай кака. Однако в саду есть и множество интродуцированных видов. Так, из семян выращена сосна лучистая, в диком виде произрастающая лишь в Калифорнии. В 1870 году посажена пиния, сосна из Средиземноморья. Растёт в саду и конняку, растение с цветками, пахнущими разлагающимся мясом. Несмотря на вонь, оно привлекает посетителей. С 2013 года Веллингтонский ботанический сад входит в организацию Wellington Gardens («Сады Веллингтона») наряду с ботаническим садом Отари-Уилтонс-Буш, парком Труби-Кинг и бывшим кладбищем Болтон-Стрит. Причём Отари-Уилтонс-Буш — единственный общественный ботанический сад в Новой Зеландии, посвящённый исключительно местной флоре. Галерея Примечания

Christchurch Club

The Christchurch Club is a historic private members' club in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand. The older of the two Christchurch clubs, it was founded by rural landholders in 1856; the rival organisation, the Canterbury Club, was a breakaway that was founded by urban professionals in 1872. The Christchurch Club, originally simply known as The Club, was founded by wealthy runholders in 1856. George Ross was one of the founding members. At first, premises were rented in Durham Street for members who were visiting Christchurch to use. Benjamin Mountfort, Christchurch's pre-eminent architect, was engaged to design the club's building for the site adjacent to Latimer Square on Worcester Street. The design is unusual and unique for Mountfort, and is thought to be a compromise between an Italian Palazzo architecture preferred by the club members that can be found in the Travellers and Reform Clubs in London, and Mountfort's preference for a Gothic architecture. The chosen Italian Villa style was seen as relatively informal yet elegant and rural. The building was erected in 1861–62. Due to the composition of its membership, the Christchurch Club was "an informal seat of power in nineteenth century Canterbury". The building was registered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (since renamed to Heritage New Zealand) on 2 April 1985 as a Category I historic place. The Christchurch Club building suffered significant damage in the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, and as of April 2016 operates out of the George Hotel while the historic premises are under repair. There have been a number of attempts over the decades for the two Christchurch clubs to merge again, and the last such proposal was discussed in 2013.

Canterbury Club

The Canterbury Club is a historic gentlemen's club in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand. It was founded by urban professionals in 1872 as a breakaway club from the Christchurch Club, which had been set up by large rural landholders in 1856. History The Christchurch Club had been founded by wealthy runholders in 1856. Their permanent premises were built adjacent to Latimer Square to a design by Benjamin Mountfort. Urban businessmen and professionals found that their interests differed from the rural gentry, and in 1872 founded their own gentlemen's club, the Canterbury Club. They commissioned one of their members, William Armson, to design a building, but he fell ill and in early 1873 the commission was passed to Frederick Strouts instead. Strouts was guided by the lead that Mountfort had taken with the Christchurch Club a decade earlier and also chose Italianate architecture as the style for the building, to be erected on a site on the corner of Cambridge Terrace and Worcester Street. The construction contract went to tender in May 1873 and Daniel Reese was chosen as the builder. In 2004, the Canterbury Club sold neighbouring land to Latitude Group for a reported NZ$4M, raising funds to do restoration work on the historic building. Latitude Group constructed Club Tower on the purchased site, named in reference to the history of the land. The building was strengthened in 2008–09 and this work was the reason that the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes caused only moderate damage. After earthquake repairs had been done, the premises reopened on 8 June 2012. A dress code has applied since the club was founded. Heritage registrations The building was registered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (since renamed to Heritage New Zealand) on 25 November 1982 as a Category II historic place. Outside the front door on the Cambridge Terrace frontage, two further heritage items are registered as Category II: a gas light, and a hitching post. The gas light was installed for public lighting in circa 1900, but the gas lighting system was switched off in 1918 when municipal electricity had become available. Somehow, this particular gas lamp was never removed, and it was restored for the February 1963 royal visit by Queen Elizabeth II. Years later, the lamp was shifted a short distance to be located outside of the club's main entrance. The lamp was still run on gas for many years after the gasworks closed in 1985, but in the 1990s, the Canterbury Club converted it to an electric light. In 1999, the Christchurch City Council and the Canterbury Club reinstated gas supply to the lamp. Adjacent to the gas light is a hitching post, erected in the 1870s or 1880s by the club for members to tether their horses. Once common throughout colonial towns, there are very few remaining today.

Flaxmere

Flaxmere est une banlieue de la ville de Hasting dans la région de Hawke's Bay dans l’Île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Situation Elle est située au nord-ouest de la ville de Hastings, et est considérée comme une banlieue de son voisinage plus étendu. Elle est localisée dans la Zone métropolitaine d’Hastings. Toponymie Elle est aussi connue par les Maori sous le nom de «Paharakeke». Le secteur de Flaxmere comprend “ Flaxmere East”, “Kingsley-Chatham”, “Lochain” et “Woolwich“, selon les unités du recensement définies par le service de Statistique en Nouvelle-Zélande . Population Flaxmere a une population de 9408 habitants selon le recensement de 2013. Histoire Flaxmere a été créée pour répondre à la demande de logements dans la ville de Hastings. Le projet visait à l'origine une population appartenant à la classe moyenne supérieure. Toutefois, la subdivision des terrains en parcelles relativement petites a contribué à attirer principalement des ménages issus de catégories socio-économiques plus modestes. Flaxmere a ainsi l’un des taux les plus élevés de problèmes sociaux de la métropole de Napier-Hastings, n’étant dépassé seulement que par la banlieue de Camberley et celle de Maraenui . Caractéristiques La ville présente les caractéristiques d'une banlieue planifiée moderne. Son organisation urbaine s'articule autour d'un axe principal, Flaxmere Avenue, qui traverse l'agglomération sur toute sa longueur. À partir de cette artère se déploie un réseau de rues courbes comportant de nombreuses impasses. Les espaces verts, parcs et réserves foncières y occupent une place importante. Il y a un petit centre commercial avec un supermarché, une station essence, un bureau de poste, une boulangerie, un magasin de vidéo, une boucherie, un mur d’escalade indoor, et divers commerces offrant des possibilités pour le nécessaire et/ou les loisirs. D’autres possibilités comprennent une bibliothèque, un poste de police, plusieurs églises et une piscine couverte nommée « Flaxmere Waterworld». Éducation Flaxmere compte plusieurs établissements d'enseignement, dont une école primaire et un établissement secondaire, le Flaxmere College, issus de la réorganisation de l'ancienne Flaxmere Intermediate School. D'autres écoles primaires sont également situées à proximité, notamment Peterhead Primary School, Flaxmere Primary School et Irongate School, implantées dans les quartiers environnants.

Kelston Girls' College

Kelston Girls’ College (KGC) is a single-sex girls state secondary school in Kelston, a suburb in West Auckland, New Zealand. It was created in 1963 when the roll of Kelston High School (formed in 1954) became too large for the site on the corner of Archibald and Great North Roads. The boys moved to a new site further down Archibald Road and the original site became the home of Kelston Girls' High School (now Kelston Girls' College). History In 1888, New Lynn School, one of the first schools in West Auckland, was opened on the current site of Kelston Girls' College. In 1914, the school was relocated to its modern-day site on Hutchinson Avenue. In 1954 the Kelston High School, a co-educational school, was opened at the site of the old New Lynn School. It was the third high school to open in West Auckland, after Avondale College in 1945, and Henderson High School a year beforehand. Kelston High School was separated into two schools in 1963, with Kelston Girls' High School remaining at the site and Kelston Boys' High School moving to a new campus to the north. In 1993, a marae was established on the school grounds. In 2004 Kelston Girls' High School Board of Trustees decided to undergo a change of name. Following consultation with the community, the school was renamed Kelston Girls' College. At the time Board chairwoman Rosemary Caldwell commented that the name change would help to attract international students. Enrolment As of March 2026, Kelston Girls' College has a roll of 592 students, of which 93 (15.7%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 507, placing it amongst schools whose students have many socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 2 and 3 under the former socio-economic decile system). Curriculum Kelston Girls' College is a Te Kotahitanga school. Te Kotahitanga is an education style aimed at raising Māori student achievement. It prescribes that the student is at the centre of learning in the classroom and that culturally responsive relational trust is the focus of all teachers. Hauora centre Kelston Girls' College has an onsite Hauora centre. Students have access to a doctor, registered nurse, physiotherapist, guidance counsellors, youth work, social worker and family planning services. The purpose-built centre aims to support students' physical, emotional and mental health.
