Open Bay Islands

The Open Bay Islands are located in South Westland, off the south-west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. They consist of two main islands, Taumaki and Popotai, plus several smaller islets and rocks. They lie approximately 5 km (3.1 mi) offshore from the Okuru River mouth, near Haast, and are owned by the West Coast branch Māori iwi Ngāi Tahu known as Poutini Ngāi Tahu. Taumaki is the larger island (14.7 ha or 36 acres, 660 m or 722 yd long and 260 m or 284 yd wide reaching a plateau 21 m or 69 ft above sea level) and is separated from Popotai (2.2 ha or 5.4 acres, 400 m or 437 yd long and 200 m or 219 yd wide) by a narrow channel. Wildlife The Open Bay Islands support several endemic species, including a terrestrial leech (Hirudobdella antipodum), an undescribed gecko species (aff. Hoplodactylus granulatus), and a skink (Oligosoma taumakae). In 2010 the skink was discovered on the Barn Islands, two rock stacks near Haast, as well as a terrestrial leech likely to be Hirudobdella antipodum; the gecko, however, has only ever been recorded from Taumaki Island, and only 15 have been seen. Taumaki Island has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it is a breeding site for Fiordland penguins. New Zealand fur seals currently numbering in the thousands have recolonized the islands following the end of commercial sealing. Hector's dolphins and bottlenose dolphins (occasional) are present at Jackson Bay, and migratory southern right and humpback whales are also present. Great white sharks have also been confirmed in the area. Wekas Although introduced mammals are not known ever to have reached the Open Bay Islands, the introduction of weka (a native flightless rail, Gallirallus australis) from the South Island in the early 1900s has had an adverse impact on the flora and fauna of the islands. The Department of Conservation have recommended to the Minister of Conservation that weka should be removed from the islands. The Trust which governs the island has agreed to removal on the condition that they are not killed. Castaways The sealer Active, brought a ten-man sealing gang from Sydney to the islands. The men had very basic provisions: some food, salt, an axe, an adze, and a cooper's drawing knife. The ship, which left the islands on 16 February 1810, was not seen again, and the sealing gang was assumed to have been lost with the ship. After years of considerable hardship, they finally saw a ship, the Governor Bligh, and attracted its attention. They were picked up and arrived back in Sydney on 15 December 1813. The men's fate has been turned into a song, Davy Low'ston, that tells their ordeal.

Ōpōtiki College

Ōpōtiki College is a state secondary school located in Ōpōtiki, in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand. History The first secondary schooling available in Ōpōtiki was at the Opotiki District High School, which was established in 1922. The name was changed in 1953 when Ōpōtiki College opened as a separate secondary school (on its present site). When Ōpōtiki College came into being in 1953, a new crest was decided on. At the top is a burning lamp. Underneath is a cogged wheel and key. The fern and the mere were added later. The first motto was in Latin – UT MENS ITA HOMO; “as the mind is, so is the man”. This was later changed to te reo Māori – TE HINENGARO TE TOHU; meaning “The mind is the measure of the man”. A new logo has recently been developed that has at its centre the Koru. Kura Ki Uta The school marae (Maori communal space) was opened in 1981, complete with a dedicated meeting house or wharenui, given the name Kura Ki Uta. The school kapa haka roopu (Māori Performing Arts team) has taken this name too. The wharenui building burned down accidentally in 2014. The reconstructed wharenui was rededicated in 2016. The photographs of the House Leaders that had been on display in the original wharenui were saved from the fire, but the original tukutuku panels (latticework used to decorate meeting houses) were lost. The carvings on the outside were restored; the original carvings from 1981 had already been replaced. The new maihe {front facing barge boards} represent the local tribes (iwi), Whakatōhea, Tūhoe, Ngāitai and Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. The twelve heavens and ten Atua (gods) are represented on each sidearm and the centre piece, representative of Io, the Supreme being, has representations of the three baskets (kete) of knowledge in Maori tradition (Te Kete Aronui, Te kete Tuauri, and Te Kete Tuatea), the influence of the Church and the influence of Maoridom. School functions are held on the marae ātea, the open space in front of the meeting house, including formal pōwhiri (Māori welcoming ceremony) for guests, orientation for new students and celebrations of student successes. School houses With remarkable inclusivity the traditional school house names cover a diverse range of representatives, some of New Zealand's foremost representatives in their domains- sports, academic, science, literature, politicians, Ngati Porou, rainbow, Nobel prize winner, Victoria Cross winner.

Ōrākei railway station

Ōrākei railway station in the Auckland suburb of Remuera is located on the North Island Main Trunk line in New Zealand. Eastern Line services of the Auckland railway network are the only services that regularly stop at the station. It has an island platform layout and can be reached by an overbridge from Ōrākei Road. It is backed by a car-park and a shopping complex. History The station was originally constructed, along with five others, in 1929 on the route of the Westfield Deviation, which was being built to divert the Auckland–Westfield section of the North Island Main Trunk line (NIMT) via a flatter, faster eastern route to link up with the original NIMT tracks at Westfield Junction. The site, 2 mi 5 ch (3.3 km) from the new Auckland station and 7 mi 55 ch (12.4 km) from Westfield, was levelled in 1925, requiring 300,000 cart loads to be removed. J W Bambury Ltd built the flag station of wood, with a tiled roof. In 1953 2 railway houses were built. The station burnt down on 27 May 1972, leaving only parts of the walls and verandah. It was replaced by a temporary shed. By 1989 it had a concrete block shelter shed and a platform 164 m (538 ft) long and 250 mm (9.8 in) high 250 mm. The station was temporarily closed between March 2023 and January 2024 due to Stage 2 of the Rail Network Rebuild. The Eastern Line was temporarily closed between Ōtāhuhu and Britomart for major track renewal work and prepared the Eastern Line for the opening of the City Rail Link. During this time, a rail bus replacement was used instead of running trains. Ōrākei Bay Village From 2016 warehouses beside the station were converted for use as shops and a cinema, after a 2008 plan by the Redwood development group, for several skyscraper apartment buildings, green space and waterfront access, had been defeated. A plan limited to six stories was then discussed. It would have retained public access and amenities, and provided a covered train station. Services Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services between Britomart and Manukau via this station. The basic weekday off-peak timetable is: 3 tph to Britomart 3 tph to Manukau Bus route 781 serves Ōrākei station. See also List of Auckland railway stations References
Station Ōrākei

Station Ōrākei is een spoorwegstation in de Nieuw-Zeelandse stad Auckland. Het stadsdeel Ōrākei kan vanaf het station bereikt worden met een brug. Het station wordt bediend door de Oostelijke Lijn. Het station ligt op het schiereiland van Ōrākei, naast het Ōrākei Basin. Naast het station ligt het winkelcentrum Ōrākei Bay Village. Dit werd in 2017 geopend, nadat het was gebouwd in voormalige pakhuizen. Het oorspronkelijke plan was om veel nieuwbouw op het schiereiland te plegen. Dit plan werd echter afgeblazen, nadat er veel verzet van de omwonenden kwam en de bouwkosten tegenvielen. Sinds augustus 2014 is het spoor er geëlektrificeerd. In 2023 was het station geruime tijd gesloten wegens grote verbouwingen aan het spoor. Dit was in voorbereiding op de opening van de City Rail Link, een spoortunnel onder het centrum van Auckland.

Orewa Surf Life Saving Club

Orewa Surf Life Saving Club, or Orewa SLSC, is a surf lifesaving club in New Zealand. It is one of 17 such clubs in the Northern Region of New Zealand. History Orewa SLSC was formed in 1950 by members of Milford SLSC which had fallen into recess. At this time the estuary outflow travelled north along the beach and ended about where the club now sits. This made the beach quite dangerous and was the reason that the club is sited where it is. In the late 1950s the Air Force bombed the channel in the estuary and this changed the river out flow straight out to sea. Club members originally stayed in a tent in the camping ground and later built a small shed about where the public toilets are to the south of the club. The first proper clubhouse was opened in 1960. Funds were raised by the club building and operating a skating rink on the domain. This was closed in the early 1990s and the remains can still be seen to the left of the domain entry drive. The original clubhouse structure is still incorporated into the building and is roughly where the lounge/restaurant is. An upstairs addition was added in the late 1970s and further additions made in the early 1990s to give the clubhouse its existing area. Women were allowed to join as active members for the first time in 1972/73 and the club added a Junior Surf section in 1974/75. In the early years members mainly came from Auckland. This has changed since the late 1970s, when the local population started to grow significantly. Most of the club's members are now local. Over the years, the club has performed over 1100 rescues, in addition to countless other actions such as first aids, preventative actions, and so on.

ТЕС Отахуху

ТЕС Отахуху — колишня теплова електростанція на півночі Нової Зеландії, в південній частині агломерації міста Окленд. У 1968—1970 роках на майданчику станції ввели в дію чотири встановлені на роботу у відкритому циклі газові турбіни виробництва шведської компанії Stal-Laval номінальною потужністю по 46 МВт. У 1977—1978 роках станцію доповнили ще двома газовими турбінами американської компанії Curtiss-Wright (ліцензійна версія Rolls-Royce Olympus), що так само працювали у відкритому циклі та мали потужність по 46,7 МВт. Наприкінці 1990-х газотурбінні установки Отахуху А припинили продукувати електроенергію, проте до 2013-го вони використовувались як синхронні компенсатори. Зазначені вище газотурбінні установки були відомі як станція Отахуху А, до якої в 2000 році додали Отахуху В — парогазовий блок комбінованого циклу потужністю 380 МВт, в якому одна газова турбіна живила через котел-утилізатор одну парову турбіну. В 2005-му потужність цього блоку збільшили до 404 МВт (газова турбіна 269 МВт плюс парова турбіна 135 МВт). У 2015-му на тлі падіння попиту на електроенергію з викопного палива Отахуху В також вивели з експлуатації. Станція була спроєктована з розрахунку на природний газ, який наприкінці 1970-х подали в район Окленду по трубопроводу Капуні – Папакура. На початку 1980-х через Окленд також пройшов газопровід Хантлі – Маунгатапере. Для видалення продуктів згоряння кожна з газотурбінних установок мала димар заввишки 61 метр. Для охолодження газових турбін використовували воду із річки Отарі. Що стосується парогазового блоку, то є відомості, що він охолоджувався за допомогою морської води. Видача продукції відбувалась напругою 220 кВ. Примітки

Otama Beach

Otama Beach is a beach and settlement on the northeast coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand, 20 km north of Whitianga. The north-facing 2 km long white-sand beach is backed by a large protected natural dune system, separating it from the road and farm land beyond. Access is via Black Jack Road, starting from State Highway 25 at Kūaotunu, which is sealed up to the start of Otama Beach. It continues as a gravel road further east towards Opito Bay. Otama Beach is almost completely undeveloped, with only a small number of houses, mostly holiday homes, dotted around the hills behind the eastern end of the beach. The white sand squeaks when walked on, and the beach is a very good swimming beach, occasionally with good conditions for surfing. The rolling dunes and the wetland nature reserve behind it are protected, containing delicate flora such as the rare sand tussock Poa triodioides (syn. Austrofestuca littoralis), and nesting areas of the endangered New Zealand dotterel. Demographics Otama Beach is in an SA1 statistical area which covers 45.92 km2 (17.73 sq mi) east of State Highway 25, and includes Opito Bay. The SA1 area is part of the larger Mercury Bay North statistical area. The SA1 statistical area had a population of 159 in the 2023 New Zealand census, an increase of 30 people (23.3%) since the 2018 census, and an increase of 48 people (43.2%) since the 2013 census. There were 87 males and 72 females in 75 dwellings. 3.8% of people identified as LGBTIQ+. The median age was 59.0 years (compared with 38.1 years nationally). There were 15 people (9.4%) aged under 15 years, 9 (5.7%) aged 15 to 29, 66 (41.5%) aged 30 to 64, and 66 (41.5%) aged 65 or older. People could identify as more than one ethnicity. The results were 98.1% European (Pākehā), 7.5% Māori, and 3.8% other, which includes people giving their ethnicity as "New Zealander". English was spoken by 100.0%, and other languages by 7.5%. The percentage of people born overseas was 24.5, compared with 28.8% nationally. The only religious affiliation given was 28.3% Christian. People who answered that they had no religion were 64.2%, and 7.5% of people did not answer the census question. Of those at least 15 years old, 42 (29.2%) people had a bachelor's or higher degree, 81 (56.2%) had a post-high school certificate or diploma, and 27 (18.8%) people exclusively held high school qualifications. The median income was $25,600, compared with $41,500 nationally. 18 people (12.5%) earned over $100,000 compared to 12.1% nationally. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 39 (27.1%) people were employed full-time, 33 (22.9%) were part-time, and 3 (2.1%) were unemployed. References
Отари-Уилтонс-Буш

Отари-Уилтонс-Буш (англ. Ōtari-Wilton's Bush или англ. Ōtari Native Botanic Garden and Wilton's Bush Forest Reserve) — ботанический сад в Веллингтоне. Ботанический сад Отари и лесной резерват Уилтона — единственный в Новой Зеландии парк с широким доступом, где культивируются исключительно местные виды. Площадь реликтового леса составляет около 100 га, примерно 5 га занимает территория с высаженными растениями. Часть леса занимает участок с риму, один дакридиум кипарисовый, по оценкам специалистов, достиг возраста 800 лет. Лесной массив в Уилтоне — остаток леса, в значительной степени уничтоженного европейцами при заготовке древесины. На месте вырубок были основаны фермы. Лишь в 1860 году местный фермер по имени Джоб Уилтон огородил 7 га первоначального леса, чтобы защитить его от скота. Это место стало известно как Уилтонс-Буш («Кусты Уилтона») и служило местом для пикников и однодневных экскурсий. В 1906 году правительство выкупило прилегающие 135 акров земли у коренных народов для создания заповедника. В 1918 году земля была передана городскому совету Веллингтона для «целей отдыха и сохранения местной флоры». История ботанического сада начинается в 1926 году, когда ботаник и фитогеограф Леонард Кокейн начал создавать коллекцию исключительно новозеландских растений, представляющих различные области страны. Сегодня на территории произрастает около 1200 видов. При этом, в лесу обитают и местные представители фауны — птицы кереру, туи, священная альциона, серая веерохвостка, рирориро, руру. Также обитают местные виды рыб, амфибий и уэта. Растения организованы в отдельные коллекции, включая альпийский сад, папоротниковый сад, большой сад камней и прибрежный сад. Городским советом Веллингтона, которому принадлежит сад, в Интернете опубликована подробная и интерактивная онлайн-карта. Кроме того, лаборатория для сохранения растений, находящихся под угрозой исчезновения в Новой Зеландии, включает в себя как обычный банк семян (хранение при температуре −18°C) так криоконсервацию (хранение при температуре −196 °C в жидком азоте).
