Kawarau Bridge

Kawarau Bridge er en bro, der krydser Kawarau River øst for Queenstown i Otago regionen på Sydøen i New Zealand. Broen er mest af alt kendt som det første sted i verden, hvor man kommercielt kunne springe elastikspring. Det var newzealænderen A.J. Hackett der fik idéen at drive forretning fra broen. Broen er 43 meter over floden Kawarau Bridge, og i 2003 blev der, i forbindelse med stedets lokaler, bygget oplevelsescenter med interaktive displays, et lille museum for elastikspring, en biograf og en café. Der bliver dagligt udført elastikspring på stedet og mange backpackere lægger vejen forbi Kawarau Bridge for at hoppe ud.
Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge

The Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge spans the Kawarau River in the Otago region in the South Island of New Zealand. The bridge is mainly used for commercial purposes by the AJ Hackett Bungy Company for bungy jumping - the world's first commercial bungy jumping site. The bridge carries walkers, runners and bikers on the Queenstown Trail over the river. Location The bridge is in a Department of Conservation reserve, between the start of the Crown Range Road and Gibbston in the Kawarau Gorge within the Wakatipu Basin. It is 43 metres (141 ft) above the Kawarau River. History The bridge was designed by Harry Higginson. The bridge was completed in late 1880 as a key access route to the Central Otago goldfields. Traffic was moved to a new highway bridge on State Highway 6 in 1963. The suspension bridge is classified by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a Category I historic place. Today, it is a tourist attraction with commercialised ziplines and bungee jumping. Name The bridge's many names include the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge, Kawarau Suspension Bridge, Kawarau bridge, Kawarau Bungy Bridge. The Civil Aviation Authority refers to the bridge as Bungy Bridge, which serves as a reporting point for general aviation aircraft approaching Queenstown Airport. Gallery References

Kaweka Forest Park

Der Kaweka Forest Park ist ein unter Naturschutz stehender Wald in der Region Hawke’s Bay auf der Nordinsel von Neuseeland. Der Park untersteht dem Department of Conservation. Geographie Der Kaweka Forest Park befindet sich rund 35 km nordwestlich von Napier in den Bergen der Kaweka Range. Der rund 59.000 Hektar große Park erstreckt sich von Norden, wo er an den Kaimanawa Forest Park angrenzt, zunächst in südsüdöstliche Richtung und schwenkt dann mit seinem südlichen Teil nach Südsüdwest. Der Park kommt damit auf eine Längenausdehnung von ca. 50 km und misst an seiner breitesten Stelle ca. 25 km. Die höchste Erhebung im Park stellt der Kaweka mit einer Höhe von 1724 m dar. Zu erreichen ist der Park über eine von Hastings kommende Landstraße, die nach Westen bis zum New Zealand State Highway 1 reicht und durch den südlichen Teil des Forest Parks führt. Geschichte 1964 wurden die Waldgebiete der Kaweka Range zum State Forest ernannt. Daraus entstand dann im Jahr 1974 mit einer Fläche von 52.000 Hektar der Kaweka Forest Park, der seinerzeit noch vom New Zealand Forest Service verwaltet wurde. Später kamen weitere 7000 Hektar hinzu, sodass der Park, der ab 1987 in die Obhut des Department of Conservation kam, eine Gesamtfläche von 59.000 Hektar aufweisen konnte.

Kaweka Forest Park

Kaweka Forest Park is in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand, adjacent to Kaimanawa Forest Park. This region of the central North Island contains large tracts of pine plantations, some of them also within the park, and as a consequence, invasive wilding conifers are present throughout the 594 km2 (229 sq mi) park. The highest peak in the park is Kaweka at 1,724 metres (5,656 ft). The Mangatutu Hot Springs, in the vicinity of the Mōhaka River, are in the park. History In the late 1800s European settlers cleared the land for farming. However, the steep terrain and poor soil made it difficult to farm. By 1900 farming had ceased, and the park became a State Forest in the 1960s. During this period it was replanted with exotic pine trees and was turned into a Forest Park in 1972.

Kepler Mire

The Kepler Mire, or Dismal Swamp east of Lake Manapouri, is the largest wetland in the Te Anau basin complex in New Zealand, covering more than 900 ha (altitude 220–230 m). Like the neighbouring mountain range, it is named in honour of astronomer Johannes Kepler. Its dome is about three metres higher at the centre than at the margins. The peat development reaches depths of up to 4.7 m. The total volume of peat in this mire is estimated at 20.5 million cubic metres. The Kepler Mire is internationally biologically significant because it is the most extensive pool system of the string bog form found in New Zealand. The best public viewing is from the Mount York Road, some 2 km from the Highway 95 intersection. In popular culture The Mire was filmed by helicopter for the Peter Jackson film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, in which it was used to portray the Dagorlad Battlefield or Dead Marshes.

Kingsland railway station, Auckland

Kingsland railway station is a station on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. The station sits parallel to the Kingsland township, and is located 400m from Eden Park, the major rugby and cricket stadium in Auckland, and the home ground of New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks. The station's proximity to Eden Park means that it often functions as a terminus for stadium-goers, with dedicated services utilising both tracks to shuttle people into and out of Kingsland. Signalling was upgraded in 2011 to assist with this. Kingsland Station used to consist of a single platform, and was situated further east of its present location, but in 2004 it was relocated as part of the Auckland rail network's double-tracking project. The old station's platform was demolished, but its shelter was retained and is now used by the Glenbrook Vintage Railway. The station now utilises a side platform configuration for each direction of travel and is accessible from New North Road and Sandringham Road. An overbridge enables transfer between platforms, and a subway links the northbound platform to the Eden Park end of Sandringham Road. History 1880: Opened on 29 March, with the North Auckland Line. 1993: Platform upgraded to meet the requirements of ex-Perth diesel multiple units. 2003: Old station removed. 2004: Rebuilt with two platforms as part of the Western Line double-tracking project, for $4 million. 2009-2010: Platforms lengthened to 115 m for six-car trains, and new stairs and an underpass from Sandringham Road to the northbound platform constructed, for $6 million. Signalling was upgraded to allow trains to leave from both platforms in the same direction to meet the needs of the 2011 Rugby World Cup, where it was expected that 15,000 fans would use the station in 70 minutes. Groups of 1,000 fans at a time were to board trains, departing every five minutes. 2011, June–August: shelters upgraded for the Rugby World Cup, made from the same materials as when building The Cloud on Auckland's waterfront. Services Western Line suburban train services, between Swanson and Britomart, are provided by Auckland One Rail on behalf of Auckland Transport. Bus routes 20, 22N, 22R, 24B, 24R, 64, 209 and some express service routes 221, 223, 243, and 249 pass near to Kingsland station on either New North Road or Sandringham Road. In media In the film Mr. Pip, Kingsland railway station appears as Gravesend station in England. The eighth season of The Block NZ features restoration and transformation of an apartment block formerly being a fire house overlooking Eden Park's Outer Oval, and is situated near the station.

La estación ahora utiliza una configuración de plataforma lateral para cada dirección de viaje y es accesible desde New North Road y Sandringham Road. Un puente elevado permite la transferencia entre plataformas, y un metro une la plataforma en dirección norte con el extremo de Eden Park de Sandringham Road. Historia 1880: Inaugurado el 29 de marzo, con la línea North Auckland .​​ 1993: Plataforma mejorada para cumplir con los requisitos de las unidades múltiples diesel ex-Perth.​ 2003: Eliminación de la antigua estación. 2004: Reconstruido con dos plataformas como parte del proyecto de doble vía Western Line, por $ 4 millones.​ 2009-2010: Plataformas alargadas a 115 m para trenes de seis vagones, y construcción de nuevas escaleras y un paso subterráneo desde Sandringham Road hasta la plataforma en dirección norte, por $ 6 millones. Se actualizó la señalización para permitir que los trenes salieran de ambas plataformas en la misma dirección para satisfacer las necesidades de la Copa Mundial de Rugby 2011, donde se esperaba que 15.000 fanáticos utilizaran la estación en 70 minutos. Grupos de 1,000 fanáticos a la vez debían abordar trenes, saliendo cada cinco minutos. 2011, junio-agosto: Refugios mejorados para la Copa Mundial de Rugby, hechos con los mismos materiales que cuando se construyó The Cloud en el paseo marítimo de Auckland.​​​ Traslados en autobús Las rutas de autobús 20, 22N, 22R, 24B, 24R y 209 pasan cerca de la estación Kingsland en New North Road o Sandringham Road.​ En el medio En la película Mr. Pip, la estación de tren de Kingsland aparece como la estación de Gravesend en Inglaterra.

Dunedin Museum of Natural Mystery

The Dunedin Museum of Natural Mystery is a private museum of bones, bone art, ethnographic artifacts, and assorted curios in Dunedin, New Zealand. Created by mural artist and sculptor Bruce Mahalski, in his Royal Terrace residence, it opened to the public in March 2018. History Mahalski had worked as an artist and illustrator for many years, and taught art in Wellington, New Zealand, from 2004 to 2017. Part of his art practice involved creating works from animal bones, reflecting his lifetime fascination with natural history. As a teenager, Mahalski worked as an unofficial intern at the Otago Museum, and opening his own museum had been a lifelong dream: "I wanted to work in museums when I was young, But I guess I’m not much of a team player, so it seemed easiest…just to try and set up my own." Mahalski had been collecting shells, bones, crabs, and insects since the age of eight. His collection of natural history curiosities and cultural objects, incorporating collections of both his parents (his father was a physician and his mother a psychologist), incorporated specimens found in nature, and objects acquired on his travels and from Trade Me. In 2017, Mahalski moved back to his home town of Dunedin, and turned four rooms and the hall of his central city residence at 61 Royal Terrace into exhibition galleries, while continuing to live in the remainder of the house. The Museum of Natural Mystery opened to the public on 23 March 2018, initially only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. From the outside the museum resembles an ordinary Dunedin villa, but is decorated with the rongorongo script of Easter Island. Exhibits Described as "David Lynch meets David Attenborough", the museum exhibits "biological curiosities, ethnological art and unusual cultural artefacts". Some of the exhibits are memorials to people, including Mahalski's father, physician E. R. Nye. They include the bones of many different species of animal (including humans), 200 skulls, pinned butterfly collections, vintage books (especially medical texts), and ephemera. On display is a hippo skull, and a giraffe skull sourced from a game park after the animal was culled (no animals were killed for the purposes of exhibition). Other exhibits include: a card deck with the faces of wanted Iraq War criminals the skull of a "unicow", a malformed cow with single horn growing out of its forehead a plate belonging to the last man to be hanged in England for sheep stealing wood from the English haunted house Borley Rectory a clay sculpture allegedly damaged by a poltergeist at the Inverlochy Art School in Wellington nkisi sculptures from the Congo The museum also contains a gallery where Mahalski exhibits his bone sculptures. For him, "the roles of artist and collector are inseparable; items from his collection make their way into his art and his art is displayed next to his collection. More than this, he sees the whole collection as a work of art in itself." Gallery References
Sue Thomson Casey Memorial Library

The Sue Thomson Casey Memorial Library, also known as the Westport Library and the Buller District Library, is a district library located in Westport in the West Coast region of the South Island of New Zealand. History The original Westport Library (whereabouts unknown) was destroyed by fire on New Year's Day of 1903, and in January an appeal was made by the Westport Borough Council to Andrew Carnegie for funds to rebuild the reading rooms and library. The Auckland Library present the Westport Athenaeum with a gift of 150 volumes in February 1903, presumably to help replace the collection lost to the fire. By August 1903 a request for further information was received, after which a group of estate agents wrote to Mr Carnegie proposing that the Canterbury Hall would make a suitable location and requesting to act as his agents in the purchase. By October the council received word that Mr Carnegie granted £2000 on condition that the council provided a free site for the building and raised a further £100 per year through a 1d rate. The gift was not universally welcomed but building went ahead and the new brick library on Lyndhurst Street was officially opened on 23 December 1904. The collection eventually grew too large for the Carnegie building and moved to new premises on Palmerston Street in 2003. The Carnegie building is now a Category 2 registered building. Collection In addition to the usual library collection of books, newspapers, DVDs, a local history collection and talking books, the library also loans jigsaws. The library has free Wifi, and conducts computer classes, book groups and a children's programme. Membership of the library also allows access to the Inangahua county library in Reefton. The library supplies a rotating collection of items to the smaller Karamea War Memorial Library in Karamea. In September 2019 the Buller District Council funded a community makeover of the library from their Revitalisation Fund. References
