Well Top of the Rock is

over for another year, and

what a great success it was!

Over 300 competitors en-

joyed a wonderful day and

the views from Baldrock were fantastic!

(So I am told, as my job was parking

cars and handing out water as weary

participants made it to the finish).

Cameron Shaw won the myBike Trek

3500 Mountain Bike-well done.

KAIWAKA RAILWAY LINE OPENED 18 MARCH 1913.

One hundred years ago

the Kaiwaka Railway Line was open 24 hours a day

and formed the centre of our small community. Many farmers began milking

enough cows to send cream away, by rail, to the Kaipara Dairy Company in

Helensville. The Kaiwaka Railway Station soon became one of the busiest stations

on the North line. Large stockyards, two stock loading chutes, goods crane and

backshunt for fertiliser, made the yard often congested. It was common for a

steam engine and guard‟s van to leave Maungaturoto to pick up a full tonnage for

the locomotive at Kaiwaka. The first stationmaster, Ernst Lamberth, began work at

Kaiwaka Station in March 1925.

Plans by NZR to remove the flashing red lights and warning bells at the rail cross-

ing on Oneriri Road and other

Northland crossings in the ear-

ly 90‟s, were met with out-

spoken protests by the locals,

including staff from St John

Ambulance Association who

were irate that NZR would put

their own monetary gain over

the value of the lives of locals.

The then secretary for the As-

sociation, guess who...Lindsey

Hargreaves, told reporters they

“did not want to pick up the

pieces after an accident”! The

locals, together with support

from the Locomotive Engineers Association, Whangarei branch, were successful

in their attempt to keep all the “bells and whistles” and have undoubtedly saved

many lives. AJ

The photo above was taken in 1986 just

days before the Stationhouse was re-

moved. (That‟s Norm and Yvonne

Brown in their prime as stationmasters!)

At that time six trains, three south and

three north, still passed through the sta-

tion each night but a stationmaster had

not welcomed the trains since Septem-

ber 1985 and the closure of the Kaiwaka

station was part of the railways‟ plans to

reduce staff in the north.

KAIWAKA SCHOOL

Kaiwaka School re-opened on Tuesday

January 2013 with a very special

powhiri held outside, under our huge

trees and over-looked by our guardian

mountain, Pukekaroro. Not only did

Whaea Mina „call on‟ nine of our twelve

new students starting this year, but our

new Principal, Rosie Ellis was the very

special person the students and staff

were waiting to bring into the whanau of

Kaiwaka School.

Matua Reno Skipper, a student teacher

working in Room 3, led the „new com-

ers‟ and their whanau. Luke Connelly,

our Whanau Chairman, Wayne Blissett,

from the Board of Trustees and Melissa

Watts the Board Chair Person gave their

welcomes. The speeches were followed

with the magical singing of our students.

Mrs Rosie Ellis, in her speech, spoke of

her beginnings; teaching in Northland

with her husband Chris, and then around

the North and South Islands. They are

very familiar with this area, regularly

holidaying in Mangawhai with her fami-

ly of four boys who are now grown up

and on their own „journeys.‟ Her last

position was as Principal of a large

school in Wellington. She is looking

forward to leading our school into the

future.

It was lovely that

some of our families

were also able to

come along to sup-

port as well as Matua Jessie Pene. The

Reverend Dekker and Mrs Dekker came

to support the new families from their

congregation who were starting school.

He spoke of the „special character‟ of

Kaiwaka School which was certainly

felt on this morning.

It was a special privilege for me as Dep-

uty Principal to “claim” Mrs Ellis and

bring her over from the side of the

„manuhiri‟ to join her with the „tangata

whenua‟ of Kaiwaka School. In like

fashion the students were collected and

brought to join

their new classes.

As classes began,

all

the

adults

shared a cuppa.

The new year be-

gan and with it, a

new chapter for

Kaiwaka School!

And now here we

are in the fourth week. School is hum-

ming along and our new students have

settled in with routines established in all

classes. Many of our whanau have come

to make themselves known to Mrs Rosie

Ellis as she becomes familiar with the

unique nature of our school and as she

brings her special talents also.

Lindy Gaskin

School is really under way now we are

in week four the students and staff are

settled in and are working hard.

On the Friday the 8

Feb 22 students

from Rooms 4 and 5 set off to Toll Sta-

dium in Whangarei to join in skills, ac-

tivities and heaps of fun with the…….

AUCKLAND BLUES!!!! It was two

hours of exhausting fun in the sun and

the students loved it. Thanks to Teresa

and Malaea who were able to help on

the day.

Thank you to the parents who attended a

working bee at school recently prepar-

ing gardens for classes to plant flowers

and vegetables of their choice. They are

really looking great and are growing

well. The children are keen to learn how

things grow and what is needed to look

after the plants.

The PTA would like to thank the fami-

lies who are in our calf rearing scheme,

which raises great money for our school

and students. Thank you to the Mills,

Wakeling, Anderson and Lusty families

the work and commitment does not go

unnoticed.

In a nutshell the calf rearing scheme is

when someone raises a calf and is then

sold at the Wellsford Sale. the Kaiwaka

School receives the sold price of the

calf. If you or anyone would like to help

with this great scheme or has any en-

quires please contact the school.

The Otamatea Hawks had their first outing for the year with a pre-

against Glenfield on Saturday 9

March at the Kaiwaka grounds, kickoff 1.30pm –

why not come along to support our boys! A Rugby Smart course (for coaches of

There will be a Top of the Rock debrief meeting on Thursday 28

February, 7pm

at the Sports Complex. Please come along with your thoughts on how the day

went and your ideas on how we can improve things for next year.

Just before the event, our water pump died and we also had problems with our

chiller and ice machine – not what you need when hundreds of people are about

to arrive! Many thanks to Bruce Ferguson who calmly sorted out these problems

for us – thanks Bruce!

seed mix. Bulbs are supplied by GardenPost who source the bulbs from New Zea-

land's best growers and prices offered are less than normal retail price. You can

Some feedback received from the competitors after the event:

“Fantastic day, fantastic organisation and fantastic community spirit – roll on next

year!”

“Thank you for such a well run event. This was my first time doing the event and

I thoroughly enjoyed the 10km walk. We will definitely be encouraging friends to

do this next year and encouraging husbands to do the bike ride.”

“Great event, great club and set-up – loved it!”

“This was my first Top of the Rock event. I cannot speak highly enough of how

well it was organised from start to finish! From how well informed I was kept pri-

or to the day, the smooth entry and payment options, venue directions, great

parking, the challenging but enjoyable course and the hospitality and prize giving

afterwards. I had only ever passed through Kaiwaka and was surprised and de-

lighted with the Kaiwaka Sports Association facilities. I will definitely be coming

back next year and bringing more participants.”

ORT Busy with Dirty

Weekends

It may be a drought in

Northland, but gardens are blooming at

the Otamatea Repertory Theatre.

The stage „props‟ team recently spent a

busy afternoon making potted flowering

plants to use in the upcoming comedy

„Dirty Weekends‟ by Roger Hall and Phil-

ip Norman.

„Dirty Weekends‟ is about gardening -

New Zealand's favourite pastime. The

jokes spring up like weeds, the situations

tangle like clematis and the songs sparkle

like hoses on a summer evening. The

show follows the horticultural frustrations

of three Kiwi couples as they dig, fertilise,

plant, prune and intrigue. With their fin-

gers on the Kiwi pulse, Roger Hall and

Philip Norman hit the mark for a good

night‟s entertainment!

With opening night only a matter of weeks

away, the actors are busy perfecting their

performances for a „blooming wonderful‟

opening night on March 15

at the thea-

tre in Maungaturoto. Tickets are availa-

ble now online at

www.ort.org.nz

and at

Tony‟s Lotto Shop in Maungaturoto.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

In searching our history there are a lot

of pitfalls to overcome and as

Kaiwaka‟s European History started at

Mangawhai, one would think that the

search of that name would be easy when

going into Papers Past. However that is

not the case as the then spelt Mangawai

also went under the spelling of Mon-

gowai, Mongawai, Mongawhai, Mon-

gowhai, Mungowai, Mungawai, Man-

gawhi, Mangawhai and to search our

history one has to enter all these names.

This is especially so when searching the

shipping news.

In “The Daily Southern Cross” newspa-

per (which wasn‟t a daily until 1862),

where often the reporter spelt the name

differently in the same paper. The rea-

son for searching the shipping lists was

to find when Kauri Gum was first

shipped out of Mangawai, and the first

entry I can find is when the 20 ton cut-

ter “Ant” under Captain Adamson ar-

rived in Auckland with one ton of gum

and 4 1/2 tuns of whale oil, (oil was

weighed by a tun barrel), reaching

Auckland from Mongowai on Septem-

ber 15th 1858, then the “Flora” under

Captain McKenzie arrived in Auckland

with 22 tons of gum on the 1st Novem-

ber, followed on 8th November “The

Lady of the Lake”, Captain Te Kira with

1 ton, then on the 15th November, the

“Amelia” Captain Tere Were with 11

tons. Again on the 26th November, the

“Ant”, Captain Adamson with 15 tons

as well as the “Herald” with 1 ton and

once more the “Ant” with 20 tons on the

9th December; the “Amelia”, Captain

Ngatagata with 12 tons on the 14th De-

cember, and the “Ant” again arrived in

Auckland on the 28th December with 6

tons and so we find that in the first three

months, the shipping of gum came to 87

tons and as no one had settled in Kai-

waka at that date, a lot of this was

picked up by local Maori as they were

shipping it on their own boats. It was a

worthwhile enterprise as gum at this

time was fetching 28 pounds per ton in

England.

While the spelling of Mangawai causes

a problem for the shipping reporter, it is

nothing compared to his spelling of the

names of the Maori Captains for on suc-

cessive visits the Captain of “The Lady

of the Lake” was Wiri, Te Wairo and Te

Kira while the “Maria” had Captain

Harepu going to Mongowai and Captain

Hohepa from Mangawai on its return.

Another was the “Elizabeth” with Cap-

tain Rangitohirahira, Captain Rongi and

Captain Rongi to he Riri, on successive

voyages. In the first four months of

1859 three boats with European Cap-

tains took out 73 tons of gum,

whilefour Maori owned boats carried

107 tons to Auckland. A rough estimate

suggests over 300 tons left Mangawai in

the year 1859 and there was no wharf

and the first bullock wagons did not ar-

rive till midway through the year, nor

have pack horses ever been mentioned.

Gum doesn‟t jump into sacks and row

itself out to the waiting cutters, as the

boats were called, waiting in the deep

water channel. The boat that carried the

biggest load was the “Elizabeth” that

took out 26 tons in one load and 24 on

another. We don‟t even know where the

boats were loaded and so the mystery

deepens as there are no records of Euro-

pean involvement in gum collecting till

about 1860, so the first years of the

Mangawai gum trade was carried out by

the local Maori. Kaiwaka‟s first men-

tion of Kauri gum is when it is back

loaded from Hulls shop by Sam Mooney

after dropping Albertlander‟s off at the

Kaiwaka landing when on their way to

Paparoa in 1862. Gum was entering

Auckland from all the small Northland,

Coromandel and Hauraki Gulf island

harbours and mostly on Maori owned

boats, so few records were kept until the

European diggers started working. An

unrecognized, and unrecorded part of

local history. Kaiwaka was a little easi-

er to spell for newspaper reporters, with

Kaiwhaka and Kaureka being used,

while Pukekaroro sometimes went by

the name of Pukekaruru and

Pukeharuru. ~ Bill Leslie 11/02/13

with this is growing awareness that
emotions, feelings and the power of
thought have a direct bearing upon
our physical health. There is in-
creasing interest in how changing
the mind influences the body to cre-
ate optimum health.

ThetaHealing™ can restore well-

North Tec Training

Comes to Kaiwaka

“The Kaipara Work Group” is a small

community group.

We are helping bring courses from North

Tec to this area.

Kaiwaka, with her fine, almost “as good as

new” Hall, is handy for people from Papa-

roa, Maungaturoto,

Mangawhai and Wellsford.

To start with, we see ourselves:

-Finding the right courses which will suit

this area and which people are wanting, and

then spreading the word.

-Finding tutors/venues and help the tutor

where required.

-All courses require trainees to work on vol-

untary projects as they train, so we will help

with this. Ad, as Hall custodian, is so happy

to see how the course can help Kaiwaka.

Carpentry can work on things like fences

around the hall which are planned. The

painting course can paint the inside of the

hall as they learn and the Horticulture peo-

ple may start the talked about Community

Garden at rear of hall, (behind new fence)!

Some rent for the hall is very handy but

most of all, the Hall is getting more use.

North Tec are great. They are doing similar

courses off campus around the north. The

work benches are fold up so the other users

are not affected. Projects from the wider

area like helping Albie with the Wharf at

Maungaturoto, will be identified as well.

Our group will help with all of this.

-Helping as many as possible to want to find

work or keep training further.

It is early days and we are feeling our way.

A lot of local support and some donated

products already are encouraging. Please

help fill the courses. If you think of anyone

who may be interested, please tell them to

Phone Minnie 431 2638 or 021751993

Carpentry Level 2:

The first group of 14 will start on 25

Feb.

at the Kaiwaka Memorial Hall.

3 days per week, 9am to 3pm (hours to

work in with school children). The numbers

are building up nicely however there is still

some room so please let anyone know:

North Tec will be at the Hall on Wed 20

Feb 10.00am to register and answer ques-

tions so please bring a photo type I.D or

Birth Certificate. A person from Study Link

will also be there to ensure benefit pay-

ments and loans for the $480.00 fee are easi-

ly sorted. Trainees are supplied with boots

and basic hand tools which they keep after

the course.... A very easy start to a career in

construction or learn the skills to build with

wood. Letter boxes, kennels etc., jobs

around the home.

More courses will run after this.

Carpentry Level 2, or Level 4 if required.

Painting and Horticulture/ Gardening are

planned so please let us know if you are

interested and spread the word around. The

painting course is free. Perhaps you and

some friends can suggest another course you

think we could run?

To register, or for more info, please call:

The Kaiwaka Sports Associations Top of the Rock multi-sport event was a great success!

There were nearly 300 entries – competitors came from as far afield as Hamilton and Whangarei as well as lots

of entries from locals. Some competitors participated in the 10km run & 14km mountain bike course or the 30km

mountain bike route while the majority entered the 10 or 5km run or walk course. Photos can be viewed on

www.kaiwakasports.co.nz.

TV3's 'Money Man' Brendon Johnson presided over the prizegiving. With thanks to the generous sponsors, there
were over 80 prizes up for grabs – winners got first choice from the prize table, then the remaining prizes were

given out by a draw.

Mangawhai Tyres kindly donated $50 for the oldest competitor. This was won by Maungaturoto's Trevor

Brljevich, 82 years, who completed the 5km walk.
The chocolate fish prize went to Jeff Stewart who was bandaged up from a bike accident the previous week, but

still competed in the event! This year there were over forty volunteers helping run the event – the winner of the

volunteers prize draw was Lindsey Hargreaves. A lawnmower, generously donated by Steve from Kaiwaka Motor-
cycles was raffled off and went to Devon Neaves.

The main spot prize of an Avanti bike was won by a very appreciative Cameron Shaw.

Kaiwaka Sports Association President Evan Wright was given a gift in recognition of all the work that he and his
wife Michelle put into organising the event. As with most community events this was a team effort, so thank

you also to:

the many marshals and registration officials

Kaiwaka Playcentre for the food stalls and bouncy castle

Kaiwaka Netball club for the pool supervision
Kaiwaka Fire Brigade for the route supervision

Coates Family Trust for permission to climb Baldrock Mountain

athlon  being  held  at  Onerahi  on  Sunday  17  March  and  the  AvantiPlus
(Whangarei) Kumara Triathlon at Kai Iwi Lakes on Saturday 6 April.
A good flow of early entries have been received for the Mangawhai event with
many coming from outside the Northland region. Sport Northland Events Team
Leader Hayley Overton says it is pleasing to see this event gaining in popularity.
“Having the opportunity to compete as an individual or as a team in these triath-
lon events is often a great way for people to experience their first triathlon. An-
other factor is the opportunity to either swim or kayak the first leg of the event”,
she said.
Based at Mangawhai Heads, the triathlon offers a swim of 500 metres or kayak
of 1.5km followed by a 17km cycle and the 5km run.  Categories are offered not
only for the individual disciplines for open men and women, under 20s and over
40s but also provide the opportunity for people to enter as a team.
Previous winners of the Mangawhai triathlon has included top New Zealand tri-
athletes Samantha Warriner and Nicky Samuels however this event encourages
competitors  from  novice  through  to  competitive  levels,  with  the  team  section
being an ideal option for beginners.
The  safety  briefing  will  be  held  at  the  event  headquarters  at  the  Mangawhai
Camp ground at 8.15am prior to the 8.30am start.
A  great  array  of  prizes  including  an  AvantiPlus  bike,  will  be  given  away  at  the
prize  giving  which  will  take  place  at  the  finish  area  (at  the  end  of  Mangawhai
Heads Road) at approximately 11am.
Entries are open online  at
