Astrolabe Reef

Astrolabe Reef is near Mōtītī Island, 20 kilometres NE of Tauranga, off the Bay of Plenty coast in New Zealand. The reef, which breaks the water surface at low tide, is a renowned scuba diving spot that drops off to 37 metres (121 ft) in different parts. The reef was named by Jules Dumont d'Urville after his ship Astrolabe, when it nearly ran aground there on 16 February 1827. Grounding of Rena On Wednesday, 5 October 2011, the container ship MV Rena ran aground on the reef. By Sunday, 9 October, a 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) oil-slick threatened wildlife and the area's rich fishing waters. By 13 October the ship had started to list and rock in the waves. Over 88 containers, some containing dangerous chemicals, fell into the sea and some washed ashore. The wreck broke in two during stormy weather on 7 January 2012. An exclusion zone was placed around the wreck during salvage and recovery operations, and this lasted until April 2016, when the reef was re-opened to vessels under 500 tonnes (550 short tons). The reef and the unsalvaged remains of the Rena have now become a popular dive site.

Récif de l'Astrolabe

Le récif de l’Astrolabe (en anglais : Astrolabe Reef) est un récif de la baie de l'Abondance, en Nouvelle-Zélande. Le récif est proche de l'île Motiti. Le récif a été nommé « écueils de l'Astrolabe » par Jules Dumont d'Urville en hommage à la corvette Astrolabe qu'il commandait lors de son expédition dans les mers du Sud et qui a manqué de s'échouer sur le récif le 16 février 1827. Le 5 octobre 2011, le porte-conteneurs MV Rena s'échoue sur ce récif causant une marée noire. Notes et références Portail du monde maritime Portail de la Nouvelle-Zélande
Scogliera di Astrolabe

La scogliera di Astrolabe (Astrolabe Reef) è una scogliera localizzata nei pressi dell'isola di Motiti nella baia dell'Abbondanza, in Nuova Zelanda. La barriera corallina, che emerge dal livello della superficie durante la bassa marea, è un noto punto di immersione e in alcuni punti la profondità arriva a 37 metri. Il nome deriva da quello della nave Astrolabe, dell'esploratore Jules Dumont d'Urville, che vi si incagliò nel 1827. Nel 2011, nella zona della scogliera, si verificò un incidente marittimo per il quale si riversarono in mare diverse tonnellate di petrolio che provocarono quello che è stato descritto come il peggiore disastro ambientale avvenuto in Nuova Zelanda.

Silver Stream Railway

Silver Stream Railway is a heritage railway at Silverstream in the Hutt Valley near Wellington, New Zealand. It regularly operates preserved New Zealand Railways Department locomotives along a restored section of the Hutt Valley Line (part of the Wairarapa Line) before a deviation was built in 1954. History The beginnings of Silver Stream Railway were in 1967 when the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society began a collection of locomotives and rolling stock. Tracklaying on the old formation of the Hutt Valley Line did not begin until 1977. The collection of locomotives and rolling stock had previously been stored at a site by the Gracefield Branch in Seaview, and this was transferred to the present Silverstream site in 1984. The official opening of the full 1.5-kilometre (0.93 mi) track took place on 15 February 1986. List of locomotives Rolling stock The railway owns an assortment of rolling stock, some in operational condition while others are awaiting or under restoration. The railway has a wide selection of rolling stock and some of the items are rather rare. One of the most notable items of rolling stock is a 50' passenger carriage of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway (WMR), No. 48, later NZR A 1126, under restoration by the NZR&LS at the North End Shed. Although four WMR passenger carriages are known to exist, this is the only one under restoration. WMR No. 50 (NZR A 1130) is also stored at the railway, unrestored. List of rolling stock Operation Trains run from 11am till 4pm on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month for most of the year except June, July, August and December when the railway is only open on the first Sunday of these months. In addition the railway is open on selected public holiday Mondays and is available for private charters throughout the year. There are several special event days held during the year, where multiple trains are run, and visitors are offered the opportunity to look behind the scenes in the railways workshop and at other locomotives and rolling stock on display.

Old Saint Paul’s (Wellington)

Old Saint Paul’s ist eine ehemalige Kathedrale der Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia in der Diözese Wellington. Ihr Bau begann 1855. Von 1866 bis zum Umzug in den Nachfolgebau im Jahre 1964 war sie die Prokathedrale der Diözese Wellington. Sie ist ein Beispiel der Neugotik des 19. Jahrhunderts, die an die in der Kolonie herrschenden Bedingungen und die verfügbaren Materialien angepasst wurde. Sie befindet sich in der Mulgrave Street im Stadtteil Thorndon im neuseeländischen Wellington, nahe dem neuseeländischen Parlamentsgebäude. Old St. Paul’s wurde von Reverend Frederick Thatcher, damals Vikar von St. Paul’s in Thorndon, entworfen. Sie wurde vollständig aus in Neuseeland heimischen Hölzern erbaut und besitzt Glasmalereien auf den Fenstern. Im Kirchenschiff hängen die Flaggen der Royal Navy, der neuseeländischen Handelsmarine und der während des Zweiten Weltkrieges in Wellington stationierten 2. US-Marineinfanteriedivision. Die Kirche unterhält enge Beziehungen zu den neuseeländischen Verteidigungskräften. An einigen Wänden und Säulen sind Gedenktafeln angebracht, von denen viele den Kriegstoten des Ersten Weltkrieges gewidmet sind. Eine ist dem für seine Biographie von James Cook bekannten Wellingtoner Historiker J.C. Beaglehole gewidmet. 1964 zog die Gemeinde in die neue Wellington Cathedral of Saint Paul um. Die alte Kirche wurde nach einer Auseinandersetzung um den geplanten Abriss des Gebäudes 1967 von der neuseeländischen Regierung erworben. Old St. Paul’s wird heute vom New Zealand Historic Places Trust verwaltet. Obwohl es keine Pfarrkirche mehr ist, bleibt sie als Kirche geweiht und wird gern für Hochzeiten, Begräbnisse und andere Gottesdienste genutzt.

The flagship Queen Street store occupied a Heritage New Zealand Category 1 Listed building, which was designed by American architect Roy Alstan Lippincott and completed in 1929. The smaller Newmarket store occupied a building which was built by the company in the 1880s; the Newmarket branch initially operated under the name of Hugh Gilmore, before reverting to Smith and Caughey in 1917. History One of the oldest surviving retail businesses in New Zealand, it was established in 1880 by Ulster-born Marianne Smith as a drapers and millinery shop, and was the oldest-surviving department store in Auckland until its closure in June 2025. In May 2024 the company announced that it intended to close both shops and its online store in early 2025 due to the downturn in business which had occurred over several years. A decision was made in August 2024 to continue trading by reducing the Queen St store from two levels to one and closing the Newmarket store. On 22 May 2025, Smith & Caughey's acting CEO Matt Harray announced that the company would be closing its Queen St store on 31 July, citing declining sales, foot traffic and economic woes. This ended the company's 145 year history. The store closed for the final time on 15 June 2025.

St Peter's Church, Riccarton

St Peter's Church is an Anglican church in Riccarton, Christchurch, New Zealand. It is registered as Category II by Heritage New Zealand. History The Parish of Riccarton was formed in 1855 when the Parish of Christchurch was subdivided. The graveyard in the grounds of St Peter's was used for burials before a church was constructed on the site. The first church on the site of St Peter's was a wooden church designed by Benjamin Mountfort. The current stone church was built over 40 years in different stages. The first stone addition was the chancel. The chancel was built in 1876 and it was also designed by Mountfort. In 1900 the transepts, additions to the nave and an organ chamber were added, again to the design of Mountfort. In 1928 the final part of the original wooden church was replaced with a new west end and a stone tower both designed by Cecil Wood. Canterbury earthquakes and restoration The church sustained damage during the September 2010 Christchurch earthquake and also in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The architectural firm Tennent Brown were engaged to restore and restrengthen St Peter's. The church was restored and strengthened up to 100% of the national building standard and reopened in February 2021.

St Barnabas Church, Christchurch

St Barnabas Church is an Anglican church in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is registered as Category I by Heritage New Zealand. History The current stone church was designed to replace an earlier wooden church. The earlier wooden church was built in 1876. St Barnabas was originally part of St Peter's Riccarton and the parish of Riccarton. In 1883, Fendalton became its own parish and at this time the wooden church was enlarged. A new church built out of permanent materials was proposed in 1916. In 1918, the vicar at the time, Canon Thomas Hamilton, suggested that the church should be built as a memorial to those who died during World War I. Cecil Wood was chosen as the architect. Wood was known to be an admirer of the American architect Bertram Goodhue but he does not appear to have adopted any of Goodhue's common design elements other than the tabernacle at St Barnabas. The foundation stone was laid by Archbishop Julius in 1925. The new church was built one hundred feet behind the wooden church. On 20 November 1926 the Church was dedicated and consecrated by bishop Campbell West-Watson. It was registered as a historic place on 2 April 1985, with registration number 3681. The church has a longstanding relationship with Medbury School. Canterbury earthquakes and restoration The church sustained damage during the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake and the June aftershock. The parish fundraised and also received funding from the Christchurch Earthquake Heritage Buildings Trust to restore the church and to strengthen the building up to 67% of the national building standard. The restored church was reopened by the Bishop of Christchurch, Victoria Matthews, on 19 February 2017. In February 2021 the St Barnabas Centre was reopened. References External links Church website
