Lake Rotoroa / Hamilton Lake

Der Lake Rotoroa / Hamilton Lake ist ein See im Stadtgebiet von Hamilton auf der Nordinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Der Lake Rotoroa / Hamilton Lake befindet sich südlich des Stadtteils Hamilton Central, zwischen dem Waikato River im Osten, der in einer Entfernung von rund 670 m vorbeifließt und dem angrenzenden Stadtteil Frankton im Westen. Der rund 55 Hektar große und bis zu 6,0 m tiefe See, der der größte von drei Seen im Stadtgebiet ist, erstreckt sich über eine Länge von rund 1,36 km in Nordwest-Südost-Richtung und über eine maximale Breite von rund 590 m in Südwest-Nordost-Richtung. Der See bezieht sein Wasser von Niederschlägen, die einerseits direkt auf den See eingehen und andererseits über die städtische Kanalisation, die das Regenwasser zum Teil in den See leitet. Entwässert wird der Lake Rotoroa / Hamilton Lake über einen verrohrten Auslass hin zum Waitawhiriwhiri Stream der schließlich in den Waikato River mündet. Die Hydrologie des Sees wird heute als fast vollständig künstlich bezeichnet. Hamilton Lake Domain Um den See herum führt ein rund 3,8 km langer städtische geprägter Wanderweg, der Hamilton Lake (Domain) Walkway genannt wird. Der See und der Weg ist Teil des Hamilton Lake Domain, einem rund 101 Hektar großen Park.

Lac Rotoroa

Le lac de Rotoroa (ou lac du domaine de Hamilton) est un lac situé près de Hamilton, dans la région de Waikato, sur l'Île du Nord, en Nouvelle-Zélande. Il a une surface d'environ 54 hectares et une profondeur moyenne de 2,4 mètres. C'est le siège du Hamilton Yacht Club, qui y organise régulièrement des compétitions de voile pendant l'été. Sports Le lac de Rotoroa est ouvert à de nombreux sports. Innes Common est un parc installé sur la rive est du lac et qui est le siège d'un club de hockey sur gazon : le Waikato Hockey Association Sports Ground. Innes Common donne aussi un bon accès au lac pour les activités nautiques. Les dériveurs et canoés sont visibles fréquemment naviguant sur le lac mais il est trop petit pour les quillards qui prennent trop de vitesse pour s'arrêter. Le lac est mieux adapté aux bateaux moins rapides capable de tourner facilement. Le parcours de 3,8 km autour du lac est adapté pour la marche et la course. Le Hamilton Road Runners Club est basé au Hamilton Yacht Club, et des courses sont organisées par le Hamilton Road Runners Club autour tous les ans. Il y a des fontaines d'eau au niveau des aires de jeux à l'extrémité nord-ouest du lac et près de Innes Common. Il y a aussi des parcours de courses dans le bush et un terrain de mini-golf sur la rive ouest du lac.

Dunedin Law Courts

The Dunedin Law Courts is a notable historic building in central Dunedin, in the South Island of New Zealand. They are located at the corner of Lower Stuart Street and Anzac Square, directly opposite the city's historic railway station. Since 1902, the building has been used as the city's law courts, and contains four court rooms, including the ornate High Court, as well as housing the offices and library of the Law Society. Architecture The Law Courts building was one of the first major works to be designed by Government architect John Campbell, and was built in 1901–02 at a cost of £20,000 and opened in April 1902. The Law Courts are located alongside the former Dunedin Central Police Station, another Campbell building, though in a completely different style. While the 1890s police station (which was actually the city's jail for most of its existence) was deliberately modelled in a Queen Anne style uncommon in New Zealand but designed to imitate London's New Scotland Yard (now the Norman Shaw Buildings), the Law Courts are in decorative but stern Victorian Gothic style similar to the buildings of Dunedin's University of Otago Registry Building. As is common with many of Dunedin's more substantial historic structures (including the railway station opposite) the Law Courts are constructed of dark Port Chalmers breccia ornamented with lighter Oamaru stone, a local compacted limestone mined to the north of Dunedin, and is topped with a roof of slate and granite. The main entrance to the court sits at the foot of a short tower which is decorated with an un-blindfolded statue of Justice in Italian white marble. Historic precinct The building has a category I classification on the New Zealand Historic Places Trust register of historic buildings. The courts, the railway station, the former police station, and the nearby Allied Press Building and buildings of the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum together form an impressive precinct close to the heart of the city, stretching south along the city's one-way street system (part of State Highway 1) to Queens Gardens and up Lower Stuart Street towards the city centre, The Octagon. One of the city's most historic public houses and hostelries, the Law Courts Hotel, is located close to the courts in Lower Stuart Street, in a large Art Deco building (also listed by the Historic Places Trust, Category II) directly opposite the Allied Press Building (the offices of the city's main newspaper, the Otago Daily Times). The prime location of this hotel near these two premises has greatly contributed to its history, as has its longevity (having originally been founded as the Auld Scotland Hotel in 1863). It also led to the former name of the restaurant within the Law Courts Hotel ("The Wig and Pen"), which was a nod to its original regular clientele of lawyers and journalists.

Te Henui Cemetery

Te Henui Cemetery, also known as New Plymouth Cemetery, is the oldest public cemetery in New Plymouth, New Zealand. It was first used in 1861. The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "the great mistake" for Te Hēnui. Description An ordinance by the Taranaki Provincial Council dated 28 October 1861 set aside 24 acres (9.7 ha) and established the first public burial ground in New Plymouth. The cemetery is the resting ground for the last eight victims of Tītokowaru's War. On 13 February 1869, a war party of Ngāti Maniapoto led by Wetere Te Rerenga killed all three men, a woman and three children, and also the Wesleyan missionary John Whiteley who arrived shortly afterwards, at the isolated Pukearuhe Redoubt, some 57 kilometres (35 mi) from New Plymouth. This was the final act of the Taranaki wars. There are two separate monuments at the cemetery that commemorate people who died in the incident. With the abolition of provincial government in 1876, the cemetery came under the control of the New Plymouth Borough Council. Today, it is controlled by the New Plymouth District Council. The main entrance to the cemetery is located at the intersection between Watson and Lemon Streets, where memorial gates were installed in 1924 on the request of Alice Honeyfield, a former resident then living in Sydney. The cemetery contains the Commonwealth war graves of 12 men who served in the First World War, and 19 men who served in the Second World War. Plots are no longer available for purchase, and the cemetery has mainly a heritage function. Occasional burials still occur on family plots. Notable burials Frederic Carrington (1807–1901), local member of parliament, Taranaki Superintendent, and "Father of New Plymouth" Cyril Croker (1888–1958), solicitor and member of the Legislative Council Paddy George (1883–1950), representative rugby league player Monica Brewster (1886–1973), the lady behind the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery Leila Hurle (1901–1989), senior school inspector Thomas King (1821–1893), local member of parliament and one of the original settlers of New Plymouth Abraham Salaman (1885/1886?–1941), merchant, dyer, herbalist and charlatan William Skinner (1857–1946), surveyor, historian, and ethnographer Thomas S. Weston (1836–1912), judge and 19th-century member of parliament John Whiteley (1806–1869), Wesleyan missionary murdered at Pukearuhe References External links Te Henui Cemetery at Find a Grave

William Booth Memorial Training College (Wellington)

The William Booth Memorial Training College is a building on Aro Street, in Aro Valley, Wellington, New Zealand, which currently houses the School of Practical Philosophy and Meditation. It was completed in 1913, and named after one of the founders of the Salvation Army, William Booth. Design and construction It was designed by Stanley W Fearn and Austen Quick. It received a gold award from the New Zealand Institute of Architects in 1927. Opening It was officially opened on 2 April 1914 by "the Prime Minister, the Minister of Customs, Sir John Findlay, and other prominent public men." Francis Fisher, the Minister of Customs, said: "We are here to-day to open and dedicate this home to the memory, of the immortal William Booth, founder of this great international Army of Salvation. It was ever the wish and practice of the late General William Booth that every penny controlled by his Army should be spent in the interests of suffering humanity, and to-day, in accordance with the noble spirit inspired by that great man, the Army presents to our citizens a monument to his genius...To General Booth the devoted soldiers of his Army have dedicated the Memorial College. The very atmosphere of the building is hallowed by his spirit." According to Commissioner Richards, the building cost 13,000 pounds to build, with more expense to be incurred in furnishing the building and improving the grounds yet to come. The building's construction was part of 40,000 pound investment in buildings by the Salvation Army over the preceding 18 months. According to newspaper reports, Prime Minister William Massey said: "the Training College was a credit to those who had originated it, to the architect, the builders, and to the Salvation Army. He hoped that within its walls in the years to come there would be trained many officers who would carry on the initiated by William Booth..." Operation From 1913 to 1982 it was the training site for the Salvation Army, until they shifted to Lower Hutt. In 1933, during the Great Depression, it was closed for a year due to financial reasons. It now houses the School of Practical Philosophy, a non-profit educational organisation. The building is individually listed on the Wellington City District Plan as a heritage building, and is listed as earthquake prone.

Okere Falls Power Station

Okere Falls Power Station is a hydroelectric power station that came into production in May 1901, bringing electricity to Rotorua. At the time, Rotorua was only the fourth town in New Zealand to have electricity. The power station was the first power station built by the New Zealand government, and it remained in operation until 1936. History With Rotorua's expanding tourism industry in the 19th century, demand grew for having electrical lighting. In 1897, land was secured at Okere Falls for a powerhouse, followed by a tender in 1899 to build a hydro-electric power plant. Rotorua's demand for electricity grew rapidly and by 1907 could not be met by the existing turbine anymore. In 1908, a new wing dam out from the head gates into the river was completed, bringing in enough water to run a second 100 kilowatts (130 hp) turbine, doubling the station's output to 200 kilowatts (270 hp). Each of the 'Waverley' horizontal turbines was connected by leather belts to two 50 kilowatts (67 hp) generators Today, a viewing platform overlooking the Okere Falls waterfall also takes in the remains of the original dynamo house. In 1995, one of the old 100 kW turbines was retrieved from the riverbank through the same cutting that was originally used to lower it to the dynamo house. It is now on display at the start of the Okere Falls track. References External links

New Zealand Film and Television School

The New Zealand Film and Television School was a higher education institution centred on the visual arts based in Wellington, New Zealand. It was founded in 2000, and acquired in 2012 by Whitireia New Zealand. In 2018 it was absorbed into Whitireia at its new campus Te Auaha. History The school was founded as a charitable trust by a group of local filmmakers including Robin Laing, Alun Bollinger and John Reid. It began classes on 31 August 2000 (with a formal opening ceremony taking place in May 2001) and was originally based in the suburb of Newtown. The initial director, Ruth Jeffery, said at the time that school would ensure more locally-trained filmmakers at a time when "there's more money around, [and] there are going to be more films made in this country". Its set-up costs were partly funded by the Wellington City Council; mayor Mark Blumsky said that it would ensure that film production in Wellington continued following the Lord of the Rings trilogy. A school named the New Zealand Film and Television School had previously operated in Christchurch until 1999, when it closed following rent problems and a dispute with students. The Wellington school was set up as a new non-profit organisation with no relationship to the Christchurch school, apart from acquiring some of its courses. The school offered a full-time 40 week-long course in filmmaking. Unlike other film schools in New Zealand, it specialised in the use of film stock rather than video. In 2006, the school collaborated with acting students from Toi Whakaari to create short films which were screened at the City Gallery. As of 2009, the school had around 50 students each year, with at least two applicants for every place. In 2011, students were divided into two intakes of 24 students each year. The school was purchased by Whitireia New Zealand in 2012, and initially kept its brand and location. In 2018 the film course became part of Whitirea based at its new Te Auaha campus on Dixon Street. Notable faculty Waka Attewell, cinematographer Ian Mune (born 1941), character actor, director, and screenwriter Gaylene Preston (born 1947), documentary filmmaker Sima Urale, filmmaker (Head Tutor in 2012) Notable alumni Jess Charlton, cinematographer Alex Galvin (born 1975), director of Eternity (2013) Jason Lei Howden, film director and visual effects artist David Schurmann (born 1974), filmmaker, explorer, speaker & CEO Mikhail Svetov (born 1985), Russian politician and blogger Tusi Tamasese (born 1975 or 1976), film director References
