Rob-Roy-Gletscher

Der Rob-Roy-Gletscher ist ein Hanggletscher, der im Mount-Aspiring-Nationalpark auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland liegt. Geographie Der Gletscher hängt an den südlichen Flanken der Zweitausender Rob Roy Peak, Low Peak, Glengyle Peak und Homestead Peak. An den nördlichen Flanken der Berge liegen der Maud-Francis-Gletscher und der Avalanche-Gletscher. Der Rob Roy Peak ist mit 2644 m der höchste Berg der Umgebung bis hin zum Mount Aspiring, dem 3033 m hohen Namensgeber des Nationalparks. Der Rob-Roy-Gletscher entwässert über den Rob Roy Stream. An den Hängen entstehen dabei Wasserfälle wie die Rob Roy Waterfalls mit einer Fallhöhe von bis zu 261 m. Der Rob Roy Stream fließt durch das bewaldete Rob Roy Valley, wo beispielsweise Keas zu beobachten sind, und mündet, ebenso wie die nahe gelegenen Wishbone Falls, in den Westarm des Matukituki River. Rob Roy Track Der vom Department of Conservation betreute Wanderweg Rob Roy Track führt durch das Rob Roy Valley zu einem Aussichtspunkt unterhalb des Gletschers. Startpunkt ist der Parkplatz Raspberry Creek Car Park, welcher 54 km von der Stadt Wanaka entfernt liegt. Die letzten 30 km der Anfahrt führen über eine unbefestigte Straße, die je nach Jahreszeit und Wetter von Bächen überspült wird und nicht immer passierbar ist. Vom Parkplatz aus führt ein unbefestigter Weg zunächst über eine Brücke über den Westarm des Matukituki River. Von dort aus folgt der Weg dem Rob Roy Stream bis zum Aussichtspunkt auf etwa 780 m Höhe. Der Rückweg entspricht dem Hinweg und endet am Parkplatz auf etwa 370 m Höhe. Die Gesamtstrecke ist zehn Kilometer lang und wird meist als leicht bis moderat bei einer Dauer von vier Stunden eingeordnet. In den Jahren vor 2013 wanderten jährlich circa 20.000 Personen diesen Track. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Базилика Святого Патрика (Оамару)

Базилика Святого Патрика (англ. St Patrick’s Basilica) ― католическая церковь, расположенная в новозеландском городе Оамару. Была спроектирована архитектором Фрэнсисом Петре. В настоящее время базилика, образующая архитектурный ансамбль вместе с приходским домом и зданием кафедральной школы, находится под защитой Фонда по охране исторических мест Новой Зеландии. Классический портик и три купола базилики стали заметной частью ландшафта Оамару, а само здание примечательно благодаря высокому качеству декоративных элементов, выполненных с помощью резьбы по камню. Описание Базилика высотой 45 метров, построенная в неопалладианском стиле, расположена в конце Аск-стрит ― улицы, берущей своё начало на набережной Тихого океана и заканчивающейся у портика церкви. Этот портик образован восемью колоннами коринфского ордера (шесть ― спереди, две ― сзади), сооружёнными из камня Оамару; базы колонн опираются на высокие пьедесталы. Переднюю часть базилики венчают два маленьких купола, заднюю ― один большой. В нише с левой стороны от портика располагается статуя святого Колумбы, с правой стороны ― статуя святого Патрика. Основной мотив интерьера церкви задают два ряда известняковых колонн, протянувшихся вдоль нефа. Кессонный цинковый свод, улучшающий акустику помещения, обрамлён лепными карнизами. Церковь освещается естественным светом, льющимся из окон клеристория. История Инициатором строительства базилики был Отец (впоследствии ― Монсеньор) Джон Маккей, занявший должность приходского священника в Оамару 3 марта 1890 года. Он хотел построить церковь, которая бы отвечала потребностям его прихожан, и начал сбор средств на её возведение. К апрелю 1893 года Маккей накопил сумму, достаточную для того, чтобы начать строительство. Ещё во время своего путешествия по Европе Маккей вдохновился памятниками палладианской архитектуры; именно поэтому он поручил Фрэнсису Петре спроектировать церковь в схожем стиле. Первый камень в фундамент базилики был заложен епископом Мораном из Данидина в 1893 году, в день Святой Троицы. Победителем тендера на строительство стал предприниматель Д. У. Вудс. Церковь возводилась в несколько этапов: с июня 1893 по ноябрь 1894 ― неф, хор и временный алтарь, с ноября 1894 по апрель 1903 ― портик и два передних купола, с 1917 года ― постоянный алтарь, ризницы, трибуны, капеллы и главный купол. Несмотря на то, что церковь была освящена ещё 18 ноября 1894 года, её строительство было завершено только к концу 1918 года. Окончательная стоимость здания составила 13 тысяч фунтов стерлингов. Маккей служил приходским священником в Оамару в течение 36 лет (1890 ― 1926) и руководил строительством церкви на протяжении 25 лет, с 1893 по 1918 год. Церемония открытия базилики состоялась 8 декабря 1918 года. Монсеньор Маккей к тому времени отмечал золотой юбилей своего рукоположения. Через два дня после официального открытия церкви ― 10 декабря 1918 года ― её архитектор, Фрэнсис Петре, скончался на 72-м году жизни. Орган В 1915 году в базилике был установлен орган-позитив, который, по словам историка Тома Галлахера, «значительно повысил мастерство приходских певчих». Примечания

Curriculum Te Puke High School redesigned the Junior School Curriculum (Years 9 and 10) around 2015–2016, for "21st Century Learning" moving away from the traditional isolated subject classes (e.g. Mathematics or English) and enhanced the Integrated Learning approach. They created "Themes" consisting of five core subjects, English, History/Social Science, Mathematics, Physical Education/Health and Science, in which all five subjects are taught in a cross-curricular approach. They created SPINS (SPecial INterest Subjects) which have been traditionally called "Options" (e.g. Materials, Drama, Visual Arts). The final aspect was Foci.

Warbirds and Wheels Museum

Warbirds & Wheels in Wānaka, New Zealand was a museum displaying military aircraft and early 20th century classic and vintage automobiles and motorcycles. It opened in 2011 and operated for ten years from premises located at Wānaka Airport on State Highway 6. The museum was opened in December 2011 under an initiative by the Warbirds Over Wanaka Community Trust and three local businessmen to replace the former New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum. After the death of one of the owners and the drop in international tourism as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum closed in September 2021. Collection The museum had several military aircraft on static display, including a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, a BAC Strikemaster Mk 88, a de Havilland Vampire FB5, a Hawker Hurricane Mk IIA (in airworthy condition), and a replica Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a. Over time the emphasis shifted more towards classic and vintage automobiles and motorcycles. The museum was managed by a consortium of private car collectors from Wanaka and focused mainly on vehicles from the 1930s to 1950s. Specifically, the collection included several rare cars and examples of automobiles from before World War II, such as a meticulously restored 1934 Duesenberg Model J - the only one in the southern hemisphere, a 1935 Auburn Speedster 851 SC, a "one of two" 1918 Packard semi-collapsible Landaulet Fleetwood model from New York, and a handful of pre-World War I vehicles such as a 1907 Ford Model K. Almost all of the cars were in working order and had current registrations and Warrants of Fitness, with some of them on loan by their private owners and used for rides. The displays were complemented by equipment and paraphernalia from the respective time periods, such as old petrol pumps and signs, and listed details and stories about the individual cars.
