The Clearwater Resort

The Clearwater Golf Club at Clearwater Resort in Christchurch is a par-72 championship course that was most recently the home to the ISPS Handa NZ Women's Open from 2013 to 2016. It was also the former home to both the BMW New Zealand Open and the New Zealand PGA Championship that was staged on the Nationwide Tour. Designed by John Darby in consultation with New Zealand golfing legend, Sir Bob Charles, the course combines elements of links golf inspired by the great Scottish courses with parkland golf, more reminiscent of Florida. Clearwater hosted the inaugural New Zealand Women's Open in 2009 that was won by Frenchwoman Gwladys Nocera, and at the time, the number-one player in Europe. She won by six shots from four players on eight under par. The ISPS Handa NZ Women's Open returned to Clearwater in 2013 and was won by Lydia Ko who was playing as an amateur. Lydia became not only the first New Zealand woman to win her national tournament, but also the youngest player to ever win a Ladies European Tour event. In 2014 South Korean Mi Hyang Lee scored a course record final round of 63 (9 under par) to win the championship by 1 shot from Lydia Ko. The 2015 ISPS Handa NZ Women's Open featured Lydia Ko, then ranked as the World number 1 player, and Charley Hull who topped the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit in 2014. Record crowds witnessed Lydia Ko set a new course record in the second round, and a career low score for herself, of 61. Incredibly, the three ball of Lydia Ko (61), Charley Hull (64) and Su-Hyun Oh (66) recorded a combined score of 25 under par. Lydia Ko won the tournament to claim the title for the first time as a professional. In 2016 Lydia Ko returned to claim her 3rd ISPS Handa New Zealand Women's Open title, and maintained her record of never having shot a round over par at Clearwater. References

The Cloud, Auckland

The Cloud is a multi-purpose event venue located on Queen's Wharf on the Auckland waterfront, in Auckland, New Zealand. Built as one of the centrepieces of the hospitality and 'party zone' facilities for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, it can host up to 6,000 people, and was originally expected to cost $NZ7.9 million. It was designed by Jasmax and built by Fletcher Construction. The venue's location and construction was at times controversial, being nicknamed 'The Slug' by opponents, and for intending to displace two historical storage warehouses that were considered worth saving by heritage campaigners. In the compromise solution, rather than demolishing both sheds, one was saved and will be retained as a separate venue space directly next to The Cloud. The work around The Cloud (construction $9.8 million) and Shed 10 (repairs for around $4 million) also included structural repairs to the wharf's piling, as well as significant installation of new services, including power and data cabling, water and wastewater lines, with most of the utilities fastened to the underside of the wharf. An evaluation report by Nielsen for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise said, "showcases at the Cloud on Queens Wharf changed international visitors' impressions of the country, convincing them that New Zealand could be innovative." As of late 2012, the consensus is that the building will remain on the wharf at least for the medium term, used as an event venue. Rugby World Cups Auckland Regional Council has held this multifunction building as a party central for many events including the Rugby World Cup. In 2015, Auckland mayor Len Brown decided to show the final between New Zealand and Australia at the complex, as they decided that there are many cafes, restaurants and bars there for use of the public, as well as watching from the comfort of your own television.

Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu

Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu or Te Kura (formerly The Correspondence School) is New Zealand's largest school with around 28,000 students enrolled each year, from early childhood to secondary level. It is headquartered in Portland Crescent in Thorndon, Wellington. In addition to its ordinary full-time students, Te Kura provides programmes to students at other state-owned schools where a subject is unavailable, and to adults. Te Kura is Ministry of Education funded. Early history The school began in 1922 with 100 primary level students, expanding into secondary education in 1928 with 50 students and into early childhood education in 1976. When the school was first established in the 1920s, parliamentarians referred to the founding vision as "a school for the benefit of the most isolated children, for example of lighthouse keepers and remote shepherds living upon small islands or in mountainous districts". The same parliamentary debate on TCS also described it as "a school of last resort, ensuring that no matter where he lived every child should have as full an education as he was capable of achieving". Recent developments The school began a significant review of its services under the leadership of Debbie Francis (CEO January 2004 – July 2006) during which time the school was restructured. A $6 million annual deficit was corrected primarily through reducing the number of salaried staff – amongst other strategies. Further to this, the school developed a Differentiated Services Model for its full-time students. Mike Hollings commenced in the position of CEO from August 2006 after completing a contract as the CEO of New Zealand Education Review Office (ERO). Further restructuring was undertaken at the end of 2007 when the school commenced the adoption of a more regionally focused model. Notable staff Arthur Gordon Butchers (1885–1960), principal, educationalist and historian Louise Henderson (1902–1994), artist and painter Trish McKelvey (born 1942), former cricketer, cricket administrator, and educator Apirana Mahuika (1934–2015), Māori tribal leader Te Paekiomeka Joy Ruha (1931–2011), prominent Māori leader and teacher Notable alumni Courtney McGregor (born 1998), representative artistic gymnast Nico Porteous (born 2001), represented New Zealand and won bronze at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Chancellor Hut

Chancellor Hut is an alpine hut in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It is located on the Chancellor Ridge near the edge of a cliff, 200 metres (660 ft) above the Fox Glacier, at an altitude of 1,260 metres (4,130 ft) above sea level in the Westland Tai Poutini National Park. The hut was built between 1930 and 1931, and is listed by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 2 historic place. It is the oldest hut in the Southern Alps still on its original site. It is rectangular in plan, 7.4 by 3.4 metres (24 by 11 ft), has timber-frame walls clad with corrugated iron and a gabled corrugated iron roof. Inside, the hut has tongue and groove timber flooring, with two cooking benches in the main room with a door leading to the bunk room with 12 bunks. Kea and non-native chamois may be seen in the vicinity of the hut. Also visible from the hut are the highest peaks of the Southern Alps. History Mountain guides Alec and Peter Graham lobbied the Ministry of Tourist and Health Resorts regarding the need for the hut, and in the Public Works estimates tabled in Parliament in October 1929, £400 was allocated to the project. Plans were drawn up and tenders for the supply of materials to build the hut were called for the following month. In the Public Works estimates presented to Parliament in October 1930, £350 was voted to the construction of Chancellor Hut, with only £170 having been spent in the previous year. The hut was built between 1930 and 1931 by the Graham brothers, with assistance from other mountaineers who took building materials up the Fox Glacier piece by piece in late 1930. Construction was completed in January 1931. It was originally painted orange, the windows on the north and south were originally sash, but were later replaced by hopper casements. It originally had separate rooms for men and women, but these were combined after social attitudes of mixing genders shifted. The hut originally had a fireplace and chimney on the eastern wall, but these were removed in 1972. That same year, the front of the hut was re-piled, exterior doors and windows were replaced, along with some of the timber. In 1976, a new window was added to the eastern wall, the former location of the fireplace. In 2000, drains were installed, some structural timber elements replaced and extra structural bracing added.

Está ubicada en Chancellor Ridge, cerca del borde de un acantilado, 200 metros (218,7 yd) sobre el Glaciar Fox, a una altitud de 1260 metros (1378,0 yd) sobre el nivel del mar en el parque nacional Westland Tai Poutini.​​​ La cabaña fue construida entre 1930 y 1931 y está catalogada por Heritage New Zealand como lugar histórico de categoría 2. Es la cabaña más antigua de los Alpes del Sur que aún se encuentra en su sitio original.​ Es de planta rectangular, 7,4 por 3,4 metros (8,1 por 3,7 yd), tiene paredes con estructura de madera revestidas con chapa ondulada y un techo de chapa ondulada a dos aguas. En el interior, la cabaña tiene pisos de madera machihembrados, con dos bancos para cocinar en la sala principal con una puerta que conduce a la sala de literas con 12 literas.​​ En las proximidades de la cabaña se pueden ver kea y rebecos no autóctonos. Desde la cabaña también se ven los picos más altos de los Alpes del Sur.​ Historia Los guías de montaña Alec y Peter Graham presionaron al Ministerio de Turismo y Balnearios con respecto a la necesidad de la cabaña,​ y en las estimaciones de Obras Públicas presentadas en el Parlamento en octubre de 1929, se asignaron 400 libras esterlinas al proyecto.​ Se elaboraron planos y se convocó a licitación para el suministro de materiales para construir la cabaña para el mes siguiente.​ En las estimaciones de Obras Públicas presentadas al Parlamento en octubre de 1930, se votaron 350 libras esterlinas para la construcción de Chancellor Hut, mientras que el año anterior sólo se habían gastado 170 libras esterlinas.​ La cabaña fue construida entre 1930 y 1931 por los hermanos Graham, con la ayuda de otros montañeros que llevaron materiales de construcción al glaciar Fox pieza por pieza a finales de 1930.​​ La construcción se completó en enero de 1931.​ Originalmente estaba pintado de naranja, las ventanas del norte y del sur eran originalmente de guillotina, pero luego fueron reemplazadas por marcos de tolva. Originalmente tenía habitaciones separadas para hombres y mujeres, pero se combinaron después de que cambiaron las actitudes sociales de mezclar géneros. La cabaña originalmente tenía una chimenea y una chimenea en la pared este, pero fueron retiradas en 1972. Ese mismo año, se reconstruyó el frente de la cabaña, se reemplazaron las puertas y ventanas exteriores, junto con parte de la madera. En 1976, se añadió una nueva ventana al muro este, donde antiguamente se encontraba la chimenea. En 2000, se instalaron desagües, se reemplazaron algunos elementos estructurales de madera y se agregaron refuerzos estructurales adicionales.​ Referencias
Symonds St Public Conveniences and Shelter

Symonds St Public Conveniences and Former Tram Shelter is a category 2 historic place in Auckland, New Zealand, and included the first standalone street toilets in Auckland to cater to both men and women. The toilets were later converted into a male-only facility during the Second World War, the women's facilities being reopened in 2000. History In April 1910, the Public Conveniences and Former Tram Shelter was opened on the corner of Symonds Street and Grafton Bridge. This coincided with the building and opening of Grafton Bridge. Following Auckland's branch of the Women's Political League pushing for urban public toilets for women, they were the first standalone street toilets in Auckland to cater to both men and women. Previously the closest toilets with access for women were at the public libraries and Smith & Caughey's department store. The structure incorporated a tram shelter, that from 1956 was used as a bus shelter when the trams were discontinued. To offer greater privacy to women, the access to the women's toilet was from inside the shelter, but this was altered in the 1920s to have an external access like the men's toilets as the shelter was frequently in use, including purposes that were unanticipated such as rough sleeping. During the Second World War, the toilets were converted into being a male-only facility. In 2000, the women's toilets were re-installed. In 2020–2022, a major conservation project costing NZ$910,000 worked to reinstate many of the earlier features of the structure. This included original 1910 tiles that were found during the conservation project. They reopened in August 2022. This project included a seismic upgrade, and the restoration was awarded a Heritage Award at the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Auckland Architecture Awards in 2023. Description The Public Conveniences and Former Tram Shelter is a single-storey, Edwardian Baroque, masonry building designed by Walter Ernest Bush, the architect of the Grafton Bridge. The main façade facing towards the end of Karangahape Road has a wide central archway with arched windows on either side.

Capitol Theatre (New Zealand)

The Capitol Theatre, also known as the Capitol Cinema, is a historic cinema in New Zealand. Situated on Dominion Road in Mount Eden, Auckland, the Capitol Theatre is registered as a category 2 building with Heritage New Zealand. Description The Capitol Theatre is a four-storey neo-Greek building with the bottom floor being for retail shops. The Capitol Theatre's interior is decorated in an art deco style with a purple and gold pallet. History The Capitol Theatre was designed by Hugh Grierson and Kenneth Aimer and built by Noel Cole for Messrs Hardley and de Luen. It opened on 18 August 1923 with capacity for 900 patrons. It was named after the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus. Hardley and de Luen were property developers and leased the theatre to be run by others with John Quinn being the first. In May 1934 the building was renovated under the new manager Edward Greenfield. Greenfield managed the theatre until his death in 1963. In 1978 the building's interior was severely damaged by a fire. In 1986 it reopened as Charley Gray's and was in use as an art house cinema from 1992. In 1998 it became the Capitol Theatre although half the building had been converted into an indoor rock-climbing facility. The theatre screened Bollywood films until it closed in 2008. In 2009 it was re-opened under a new owner. It closed in 2019, before shortly reopening under new management. Legacy The Capitol Theatre was one of the most popular suburban theatres in Auckland. The Auckland Film Society's chairman said the theatre: created an atmosphere of real enthusiasm for film culture in which the society felt right at home. You’d climb the steps to the theatre and enter a shabby, slightly eccentric environment where real film lovers could tell at once they were understood and appreciated. The building has a category A registration with Auckland Council. References
St Alban the Martyr, New Zealand

The Church of St Alban the Martyr is a late 19th century Anglican Church located in Balmoral, Auckland, New Zealand listed as a Category 2 building by Heritage New Zealand. Description The brick chancel was designed by reverend Wingfield. It is 27 ft (8.2 m) long, 25 ft (7.6 m) wide, and 18.5 ft (5.6 m) high. The roofing of the apse uses fibre cement slates. The foundation stone bears the inscription: 'Ad majorem die glorian. This stone was laid by Moore Richard, Bishop of Auckland. August 5, 1905. Except the Lord build the house, their labour is but lost that build it (Psalm cxxvii).' The original wooden Church is the nave of the current Church. History The Church of Saint Alban the Martyr was built in 1885–1886 on land donated by James Paice, a wealthy land owner in the County of Eden, with funds raised by Captain H.G. Ewington. A P Wilson was the architect and it was finished on the 13th of February, 1886. Wilson had initially designed a Gothic Revival Church but this was not carried out. In 1901 the hall attached to the Church was enlarged, with a capacity to seat 400 people. In early 1905 the Reverend of the Church, Henry Barnard Wingfield, designed a Romanesque brick chancel. Wingfield had studied architecture before his appointment to St Albans. On the 6th of August, 1905, the first brick of the new chancel was laid by the Bishop Neligan. On the 20th of December, 1905, the brick chancel was finished and the Church reopened. The brick apse was completed in c.1905. Originally part of the parish of the Holy Sepulchre, in November, 1909, it was constituted as St Alban's parish. Further work converting the rest of the Church was planned to be carried out but due to funding constraints it was only partially carried out. This work finished on May 28, 1912. The wooden front was originally intended to also be replaced with brick. In early 1919 it was proposed that a monument be constructed following peace after the end of the war. Later in 1920 the construction of a tower was proposed. Later the Norman style tower was constructed c.1922 and in 1923 was dedicated to the memory of servicemen who passed in the Great War and later would include servicemen who died in World War II. The tower continues to be a part of Armistice Day celebrations. In November 1934, the Church celebrated the silver jubilee of the parish. Since 1950 the Church has allowed other congregations to use the building, including a Russian Orthodox Church. In March 2011, the General Trust Board of the Anglican Diocese of Auckland issued a notice ordering the closure of the building by the end of April that year over alleged concerns of safety. The priest in charge, Mark Beale, claimed the building passed council safety standards and that the closure was an attempt to sell off the valuable property. As of 2024 the Church is still hosting services. Gallery References External links Official website
Kentish Hotel

The Kentish Hotel is a pub in Waiuku, New Zealand that lays claim to the longest continuous liquor licence in the country. The Kentish Hotel has stood the test of time as being one of the most famous established watering holes in the Franklin area since it was first granted its licence to sell liquor in 1853. Historical significance Built in 1852 by Edward Constable who emigrated from Maidstone, Kent in England. Constable then went on to apply to the Colonial Secretary for a Publican's Special Licence and Licence No.47 was granted on 10 January 1853. That same licence still continues today and the hotel lays claim to the longest continuous liquor licence in New Zealand. Throughout its long history the Kentish has been at the heart of Waiuku life since it was built. It occupies a central location in Waiuku town, is near the entrance to the Waiuku harbor, and opposite the popular Tamakae reserve which serves as a base for the Waiuku Museum and other attractions. Challenges and triumph The Constables established the Hotel as an icon in early Auckland by advertising on the front page of the New Zealander, the most popular newspaper of the period. Travellers began recommending the establishment and it grew to be immensely popular, even hosting such dignitaries as the Māori King Te Whero Whero, Sir George Grey, Richard Seddon, Sir Joseph Ward and William Massey. With its position along a major trading route between the fledgling colonial Auckland and rich, fertile lands of the Waikato, the Kentish thrived. Through the tense times during the land wars of the Waikato beginning 1862-1863, the Kentish managed to survive. In 1926, the hotel nearly burned down when a fire destroyed a block of wooden buildings opposite. As the wind fanned the flames a host of volunteers poured water and hung wet sheets over the facade saving most of the building from significant damage. Recently the Kentish has expanded adding a popular outdoors area overlooking the harbor and Tamakae Reserve. The Kentish went into receivership on 14 August 2012, and with it the longest held liquor licence in New Zealand. References External links Official website Photo of Edward Constable 1996 photo

The Octagon (Dunedin)

The Octagon ist das einem Achteck gleichende Stadtzentrum von Dunedin auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Das Octagon ist ein rund 8,6 Hektar großes Areal, das das Stadtzentrum der Stadt Dunedin darstellt. Es befindet sich rund 850 m westlich des Otago Harbour und rund 450 m südwestlich eines kleinen Hafenbeckens, das Zugang zum Otago Harbour besitzt. Der New Zealand State Highway 1, der in der Stadt auf zwei einzelnen Straßen aufgeteilt durch die Stadt führt, passiert das Octagon 190 m und 310 m ostsüdöstlich. Geschichte Mitte der 1840er Jahre wurde der Landvermesser und Stadtplaner Charles Henry Kettle von der New Zealand Company beauftragt, das Land am Ende des Otago Harbour zu vermessen und einen Plan für die Straßen einer Stadt in dem Gebiet zu planen. Er entwarf ein achteckiges Gebiet, das von der Straße Moray Place umfasst wurde und im Zentrum ein weiteres achteckiges Areal vor Bebauung geschützt ausgewiesen wurde. Dazwischen sollte das Zentrum der Stadt entstehen. Der Plan fand nicht nur Freunde und in den folgenden Jahren entbrannten verschiedene Kontroversen um das Areal. Doch nach erfolgter Besiedlung des Gebietes wurde 1854 der Status des Zentrums des Octagon in der Stadt gesetzlich verankert. Weblinks Malcolm McKinnon: Dunedin.
