When you reflect about Selwyn you think of an innovative and forward-moving region with strong townships made up of residents with a real sense of community.

This pride in our piece of New Zealand comes from all this area has to offer: industry, tradition, business, beautiful landscapes, wonderful experiences and most of all a region full of people who want to make it the envy of all Kiwis.

The 2016 Selwyn Residents Guide is full of what is special about this place – the townships where we live, the places we go to explore and dine and the activities we love to take part in during our leisure time. It also includes important information about businesses and services provided in the region.

The Selwyn Times has been involved in the lives of Selwyn residents since 1996, and is thrilled to be able to be the official record keeper of the people, events and happenings that have occured during the past 20 years.

If a flood, earthquake, tsunami, fire, volcano or landslide happened tomorrow, would your family be prepared?

Disasters can often impact on essential services and may disrupt travel or communication. If you were confined to your own home or forced to evacuate would you be prepared. Emergency services may not be able to get to you so you need to prepare well in advance so you can look after yourself and your loved ones in the event of a disaster.

Planning and preparation are the key factors when it comes to being ready if a disaster should strike. A disaster plan can help you react safely and quickly if a disaster strikes. You can get a copy of a household emergency plan from the Selwyn District Council or download a printable version from the website www.getthru.govt.nz.

Rolleston took its name from Canterbury’s last provincial superintendent William Rolleston.

In 1866, it was a railway junction for the main trunk and midland lines. In the 1950s, 4000 hectares were set aside for a future satellite town, an idea that was revived early in the 1970s before being abandoned until the 1990s.

Since then the town’s size has increased tenfold due to better roads such as the Southern Motorway extension completion and further plans and from people migrating after the Christchurch earthquakes.

Affordable building and a relaxed lifestyle attract people to Rolleston, and it is now becoming an established centre with recognised subdivisions, an expanding retail and service sector, recreational opportunities and a growing industrial sector.

Residents have access to childcare, after-school and holiday programmes, a community centre, library, indoor aquatic centre, playgrounds, parks with skateboard area and dog park, gymnasiums, and numerous clubs and activities.

Educational facilities cover early childhood, primary and after-school tuition, with a high school currently under construction and due to open Term 1, 2017 for Year 9 students.

A wide range of health services are also available, including: acupuncture, dentistry, medical, natural health, osteopath, pharmacy and physiotherapy.

Retail and service providers are increasing with animal welfare, art, fashion, automotive, banking, transport, dry cleaning, hardware, legal,

food, floristry, gifts, hair styling, gyms, home and landscape design, liquor, real estate, tractor and vehicle sales, and trade services all available. The town also has a volunteer fire brigade, police station and St John’s Ambulance Centre, and Rolleston Prison is a little further south.

Over the tracks, Rolleston’s growing industrial sector is situated in and around Jones Road and Izone, where there is an inland port, with a second port under construction nearby and a neighbouring industrial service centre planned.

Like many towns in Selwyn, Burnham’s took its name from an English settlement – Burnham Beeches in Buckinghamshire.

Historically described as parched, stony ground ideal for troop movement, Burnham has been home to its military camp since 1918 while in 1874, the Burnham Industrial School for challenging children was located there.

A stone cairn at the front entrance to the camp commemorates Queen Elizabeth II’s jubilee in 1977 and visit in 2002. Floral tributes remembering those who died in Christchurch’s February

On the southern bank of the Selwyn River is the settlement of Selwyn, which was a small town in the early 1870s. The extension of the railway through to Rakaia and building of a railway station at Dunsandel in 1873 along with the river flooding all led to the town shifting from Selwyn to Dunsandel (an Irish name).

This Canterbury town sits at the junction of roads leading to all four points of the compass, explaining why it was an ideal rural service town. The roads were originally travelled by Maori who stopped there as evidenced

The military camp itself has a gymnasium and swimming pool

Dunsandel straddles Highway 1 and a steady stream of traffic passes through it. It has a small mix of retail outlets selling food, handmade crafts, gifts and clothing. There is also a veterinary service, barber, childcare facilities, primary school, volunteer fire brigade, a Plunket service, hotel, domain and sports grounds, an impressive war memorial, public toilets and a shelter for travellers where historic information and photos are displayed.

West Melton, which began as a rural settlement, now has a mix of farms, lifestyle blocks and a township of three and soon to be four parts: the established village; recent Gainsborough and Preston Downs subdivisions; and Wilfield, currently under development as well as a new shopping centre in the town.

West Melton has a spacious, relaxed feel and strong community members, who participate in sport, social functions or other activities. Each year, the West Melton Tertiary Scholarship is awarded to a deserving recipient to help them through study or another project.

The town has a primary school (to Year 8), two preschools, a playcentre and

Named after a village in India, Kirwee grew round the Midland railway that runs right through the town.

In the early 1870s, Kirwee was to be the junction for the Whitecliffs and Sheffield lines however, Darfield was chosen.

A retired Colonel De Renzie Brett first settled in the area. He had seen a water race system in India, instrumental in the development of one in Selwyn, drawing on water from nearby rivers such as the Kowai and Waimakariri. With better irrigation, farming productivity increased as there was better grazing and a higher

A range of businesses are also located in and near West Melton encompassing: engineering; garlic production; café; restaurants; wineries; wedding venues; counselling; physiotherapy; acupuncture and beauty therapy.

The Canterbury Astronomical Society’s Observatory is based in Bells Road nearby, and further down Weedons Ross Road is the Canterbury Aero Club’s aerodrome and Moore Park Speedway.

facilities with a hall, model school (to Year 6), Plunket toy library, automotive and service station, tavern, sports grounds, playground, showgrounds, cemetery and St George’s Church that dates back to 1880. Other small businesses cover accommodation and agricultural electronics.

This is a place where there is strong community involvement, reflected in its rugby club which is over 110 years old and the popularity of the annual musical, which Kirwee Players perform to sell-out audiences.

CourtenAyA short distance from Kirwee on the

Old West Coast Road is Courtenay, one of the district’s earliest settlements.

It was a stopping point for Cobb and Co coaches on their way to the West Coast and for travellers crossing the

Waimakariri River to go north.When the midland railway line

opened, Courtenay lost business. Its store and tophouse (hotel with stables) closed with the latter becoming a private residence. The primary school that began in 1868 is also closed, however the community still uses the pool. The domain and tennis courts are further west on the bank above the Waimakariri River.

The Courtenay A&P Association, which was formed in 1872, merged with the local Farmers’ Club and holds shows every year at Kirwee.

Many travellers pass through Darfield and its population is growing, so it’s no wonder the town can be a busy place.

Called White Cliffs Junction until 1879, Darfield is at the crossroads for those travelling to the West Coast, turning onto highway 77, or heading south.

Darfield means field of deer, and while wild deer are unlikely to be seen, considerable dairying occurs, supported by Fonterra’s milk processing plant west at Racecourse Hill, where milk powder is produced for export.

The town itself supports a small amount of industry and various retail and service providers serving locals, those on farms and lifestyle blocks, and visitors.

Students from around the area bus to Darfield’s primary and high schools where a broad range of learning opportunities are provided and local preschoolers are served with a playcentre and preschools, with after-school and holiday programmes also available.

Darfield boasts a library, hospital, volunteer fire brigade, art gallery that

DarfielD at the crossroaDs

showcases local artists, and churches. The sports clubs are well supported by local businesses, reflecting the strong tradition of sporting activity in the town, which is also evident in the age of the rugby club at 102 years old.

Points of interest in Darfield include the old jail, Tussock Square, the War Memorial and McHughs Plantation off Horndon Street.

Small settlements quite near to Darfield that were once busier places are Charing Cross and Kimberley but have little to show of their past.

Charing Cross recently gained fame due to its position as close to the September 2010 earthquake epicentre. It is at the crossroads for eight directions and once had a school, built in 1886. The school closed in 1969 and the building was used as a barn until strong nor’west winds blew it over in 2010.

On the Old West Coast Road side of Darfield is Kimberley. In 2010, a new water race was opened, drawing water from the Waimakariri River at the gorge for farming, with the new race meeting up with an existing water race at Kimberley.

Reminders of Kimberley’s past are its attractive cemetery, tree-lined reserve and hall, which is the base for the Tara Marshall Dance Studio.

Called White Cliffs Junction until 1879, Darfield is at the crossroads for those travelling to the West Coast, turning onto highway 77, or heading south.

Darfield means field of deer, and while wild deer are unlikely to be seen, considerable dairying occurs, supported by Fonterra’s milk processing plant west at Racecourse Hill, where milk powder is produced for export.

The town itself supports a small amount of industry and various retail and service providers serving locals, those on farms and lifestyle blocks, and visitors.

Students from around the area bus to Darfield’s primary and high schools where a broad range of learning opportunities are provided and local preschoolers are served with a playcentre and preschools, with after-school and holiday programmes also available.

Darfield boasts a library, hospital, volunteer fire brigade, art gallery that

showcases local artists, and churches. The sports clubs are well supported by local businesses, reflecting the strong tradition of sporting activity in the town, which is also evident in the age of the rugby club at 102 years old.

Points of interest in Darfield include the old jail, Tussock Square, the War Memorial and McHughs Plantation off Horndon Street.

Small settlements quite near to Darfield that were once busier places are Charing Cross and Kimberley but have little to show of their past.

Charing Cross recently gained fame due to its position as close to the September 2010 earthquake epicentre. It is at the crossroads for eight directions and once had a school, built in 1886. The school closed in 1969 and the building was used as a barn until strong nor’west winds blew it over in 2010.

On the Old West Coast Road side of Darfield is Kimberley. In 2010, a new water race was opened, drawing water from the Waimakariri River at the gorge for farming, with the new race meeting up with an existing water race at Kimberley.

Reminders of Kimberley’s past are its attractive cemetery, tree-lined reserve and hall, which is the base for the Tara Marshall Dance Studio.

A one-way bridge stands sentry to Arthur’s Pass, which is 150km from Christchurch. The town grew from the 1864 discovery by Arthur Dudley Dobson of a pass that Maori took through the Southern Alps to the West Coast.

Many travellers have passed through Arthur’s Pass, first in horse-drawn coaches, then by train when the Otira Railway Tunnel opened in 1923 then by motor vehicles.

Trains worm their way through tunnels and over perilously high viaducts before reaching Cass, where rail and highway meet.

The road carries on past Whites Bridge that crosses to the Hawdon Valley

Once over Porter’s Pass, the road heads towards the Waimakariri Basin. Within 10 minutes, monolithic limestone rock formations can be seen at Castle Rock (Kura Tawhiti), a DOC site offering walking and rock climbing.

Hororata

Travelling on Bealey Road to Highway 77 takes you through Hororata. The town sits amidst fertile farmlands. Its name is a blend of two Maori words: “horo” symbolising a nearby ravine and “rata” representing the trees growing in the area.

By the late 1800s, Hororata was evolving into a busy place.

The St John’s Anglican Church was built in 1875 before being moved across the road to make way for a new grand stone church built in 1910, as a remembrance of Premier Sir John Hall’s wife. The church was seriously damaged in the September 2010 earthquake and its future is yet to be decided.

Hororata gained a reserve in 1877, when local landowners gifted a large parcel of land on which a sports ground

and Edwardian lake were developed.An electricity substation was

constructed at Hororata in the early 1900s to manage power produced at the Coleridge Power station. By then, the town was a hive of activity with many businesses including a brewery, flour mill, undertaker and blacksmith.

Hororata is a smaller place today. It has a café, service station, primary school, hall, war memorial and domain encircled by a new walkway and the restored historic Coton’s Cottage built out of cob in 1864.

The town is the home of the Hororata Highland Games, which are held every November. The idea was suggested by locals with a Scottish heritage as a way to bring locals together and as a fundraising event, and the Hororata Community

Trust was formed. It organises the event and also promotes the area and its heritage.

Lincoln was initially a service centre for the small agricultural farms in the area, then in 1878 the first college to offer an agricultural degree in the Southern Hemisphere opened there. Research centres followed including the Wheat Research Institute, government DSIR (Department of Scientific Industrial Research) and Wool Research Institute with many of Lincoln’s residents working for those institutions.

The town has since expanded, becoming an outreach suburb of Christchurch. While Lincoln’s recent growth has been dramatic, its village charm remains, complemented by reminders of days gone by. Its old buildings include Pioneer Hall (1874), St Stephen’s Anglican Church (1877), Ivey Hall (1881) at Lincoln University, Union Parish Church building (1882) and Coronation Library (1911). A plough made in the town in 1865 is also on display.

The land on which Lincoln stands was once scrub, forest and wetlands at the edge of Lake Ellesmere (Te Waihora) and a good food source for Māori.

Today, the link with Māori is still there in the ongoing restoration work by Te Taumutu Rūnanga and Ngāi Tahu Property to increase river and stream water quality in the area by planting natives and integrating storm water systems so life will return to Te Waihora.

Lincoln is growing. It has a secondary and primary school, preschools, after-school and holiday programmes, churches, an events centre, gymnasiums, sports grounds, service station, a

thriving shopping centre that includes cafés, restaurants and bars, and now a large supermarket.

People living here also have access to the university’s facilities such as the bookshop and recreation centre where there are netball, squash and tennis courts, a fully equipped gymnasium and sportsgrounds. New Zealand’s cricket high performance centre is also on the University campus.

Located just a short stroll from the heart of Lincoln, Te Whāriki is a stunning development located within the Selwyn district.

The name Te Whāriki refers to the ‘floor mat’ or lake bed of Te Waihora (Lake Ellesmere), home to the rich wetland and lake community that once extended to the doorstep of Lincoln. It symbolises a place for all to gather and meet, as a whāriki is a woven floor mat. The residential development

Te Whariki, LincoLn: The Good Life

connects and weaves together the current township of Lincoln and Lincoln University.

The conception of Te Whāriki was back in 2006. It began under the right of first refusal requirement relating to the disposal of surplus Crown land. Lincoln University notified Ngāi Tahu of its intention to sell dairy farm land it owned on the southwest edge of Lincoln Township. It was then in 2007 that Ngāi Tahu Property and Lincoln

University formed a joint venture (JV) to develop the land as a residential community with the vision of linking the township and the University together.

The development has many features, one of which is living waterways encouraging the reintroduction of some species of bird and wild life and to assist in clearing stormwater run-off from roads, gardens and other land surfaces.

Walking and cycling is also encouraged, reducing noise, emissions and energy requirements of the residents.

Whether it is connecting to the rest of Lincoln, the University, public transport, or the commercial centre, the scenic walkways and cycleways offer the best method of getting around.

Te Whāriki has grown to be regarded as a well-designed, high quality, sustainable subdivision which fulfils both Ngāi Tahu Property and the University’s long-held wish for a physical link between the campus and the township.

Located just a short stroll from the heart of Lincoln, Te Whāriki is a stunning development located within the Selwyn district.

The name Te Whāriki refers to the ‘floor mat’ or lake bed of Te Waihora (Lake Ellesmere), home to the rich wetland and lake community that once extended to the doorstep of Lincoln. It symbolises a place for all to gather and meet, as a whāriki is a woven floor mat. The residential development

Te Whariki, LincoLn: The Good Life

connects and weaves together the current township of Lincoln and Lincoln University.

The conception of Te Whāriki was back in 2006. It began under the right of first refusal requirement relating to the disposal of surplus Crown land. Lincoln University notified Ngāi Tahu of its intention to sell dairy farm land it owned on the southwest edge of Lincoln Township. It was then in 2007 that Ngāi Tahu Property and Lincoln

University formed a joint venture (JV) to develop the land as a residential community with the vision of linking the township and the University together.

The development has many features, one of which is living waterways encouraging the reintroduction of some species of bird and wild life and to assist in clearing stormwater run-off from roads, gardens and other land surfaces.

Walking and cycling is also encouraged, reducing noise, emissions and energy requirements of the residents.

Whether it is connecting to the rest of Lincoln, the University, public transport, or the commercial centre, the scenic walkways and cycleways offer the best method of getting around.

Te Whāriki has grown to be regarded as a well-designed, high quality, sustainable subdivision which fulfils both Ngāi Tahu Property and the University’s long-held wish for a physical link between the campus and the township.

Prebbleton

ladbrooks

One of Canterbury’s oldest settlements is Prebbleton, which lies west of SH 75 on Springs Road. It was established in 1862 by Luck and Clark, on land originally owned by the Prebbles, hence the town’s name.

The Prebble brothers lived and worked in the region from early 1840. Edward Prebble ran the first store there and William Prebble purchased land in 1852.

While Prebbleton has retained a village feel, it has grown with lifestyle blocks and new sub-divisions.

Its strong community is supported with a kindergarten, preschools, primary school and small number of shops.

Other businesses include a service station and automotive repairs, seed and lawn production, farm services, a function centre, pubs, horse stud, plant nursery and beauty therapist.

The town also has a charming community cottage and the historic All Saints Anglican Church churches, reserve and sports field, hall, war memorial and cemetery.

Northwest, at the junction of Shands and Robinsons roads, is Broadfield, an area known for horse training and the botanical Broadfield Gardens.

Broadfield has a primary school; an historic community centre which housed the school between 1870 and 1950 and is available for hire; and a recreation reserve with courts and playground.

A short distance northeast from Lincoln is the small settlement of Ladbrooks, which is named after its first land owner in 1842.

There is a community hall, cattery and primary school, which dates back to 1889. Learning incorporates the school’s rural surroundings including replanting natives along the originally wasteland banks of the Halswell River.

The land was boggy, flooded easily and had lots of cabbage trees, then in the 1880s Lake Ellesmere was drained to form lush green pastures. Greenpark sat beside the Little River railway line with its station siding still visible.

Its primary school, once the heart of the community, has closed. However, a new hall is to be built in the domain and there are tennis courts and a church to serve those living around Greenpark.

Close to the port hills is Tai Tapu. It has a small number of cafés and boutique stores selling clothing, antiques, homeware, furniture and some basics, making it an interesting place to dine and browse.

Closed now, the Tai Tapu Co-operative Dairy Company, which started in 1889, was Canterbury’s first commercial butter factory. Its old creamery is now a bed and breakfast though dairying is still important in the area.

Turn down the Old Tai Tapu Road and you will pass a stone war memorial, historic buildings and Rhodes Park Domain. A walkway links the main street with the domain, crossing the newly planted Tai Tapu Bush then following the Halswell (Huritini) River past the hotel that dates back to 1858, the stone library and St Paul’s Anglican Church, both built in 1932.

Greenpark Tai Tapu

Māori originally called Selwyn Waikirikiri. Fed by small rivers in the foothills, it flows underground in places before flowing into Lake Ellesmere. Selwyn Huts was established at the mouth in 1895 and was popular with anglers when fish were plentiful in the river and lake.

West of Lincoln is Springston, named after the springs on the land. This town once was previously home to a creamery factory and was also on the Little River railway line and is home to 3500 residents in the township and surrounds.

Springston has a store, primary school (established in 1868), sports grounds, Methodist church, war memorial, cemetery, hotel, café, some interesting old homes, the South Springston War Memorial hall which has been refurbished since the earthquakes and the Springston Community Centre which is only partially in use. A small number of businesses also operate in the area.

Children attending Springston Primary School benefit from a modern learning centre, and activities that include an agricultural club, pet day, market days, cultural pursuits and sport while after-school and holiday programmes assist working parents.

Soon, you reach Doyleston where history replicates many Ellesmere towns – a busy place by the railway line where there are businesses, cattle sales, a school, library, general store, town hall, hotel and creamery. Today, it is a smaller place. Its store is also a service station/garage.

At Osborne Park, there is a playground, tennis courts, BMX and scooter tracks, with a small memorial park being created in the main street.

Leeston is an interesting town where its history, beginning in 1864, mingles with modern day living. The town has a grand front door where its war memorial stands sentry in the town square, with the sports grounds at its backdoor.

Leeston’s streets were named after the area’s young soldiers who never returned from WWI, while the town’s namesake is a hamlet in Weston-super-Mare, Somersetshire, England.

Interesting shops, preschools, a primary school, high school, after school and holiday programmes, a library, supermarket, service station, churches, rest home, medical centre, volunteer fire brigade, fitness centre, toy library and RSA are available in Leeston.

Honey can also be purchased direct at Airborne, New Zealand’s oldest honey company which began in 1910.

Between Taumutu and Southbridge, the traveller comes across Sedgemere where a church and hall sit, surrounded by farmland.

TaumuTuNestled between the edge of Te

Waihora (Lake Ellesmere) and the sea is Taumutu, the site of several pa significant in the history of Maori, and where some iwi migrating south from the North Island settled because of Te Waihora’s rich resources.

Various North Island Maori iwi visited Taumutu coming in three main waves, and there are visible mounds at the Ngati Moki pa site that runs parallel to Pohau Road; the earth work remains of traditional defences associated with the earlier pa.

On the old pa site of Ngati Moki, a Maori hall was erected in 1891 then redeveloped as a working marae, with the adjoining whare kai being built in 1986.

The marae serves the descendants of Moki and father Te Ruahikihiki, now in their thousands. It is one of 18 Ngai Tahu Papatipu marae. It is also an educational facility where Maori history and custom are passed on to future generations.

Closer to the sea, on Te Ruahikihiki’s pa site, is the historic Hone Wetere Church and adjoining urupa (graveyard) that includes some old pre-European burials. The church was free of debt when it opened in the Easter of 1885 and while built by Maori for Maori, has always included Pakeha and other denominations.

The small fishing settlement of Fisherman’s Point is just around the corner. Here, houses sit looking out at the point where the lake is opened to the sea.

Development and operation of the marae is run by a Runanga committee.

Its significance in Maori history gives reason for a visit, yet it is not a tourist place. Maori protocol should be observed, which means not entering the marae grounds unless invited, though visitors are welcome to explore the church grounds, lake and beach.

Activities in the area:Cultural: Marae group visits by

appointment, for those wishing to learn the kawa (way of doing things) and history.

Recreation: Fishing, picnicking at the beach.

Worship: Hone Wetere Church.

The community can meet at the visiting library bus or for social functions, including craft days, morning teas, ladies’ lunches and the occasional shared dinner.

Activities in the area:Sport: Walking, keep-fit sessions,

There are lots of great cafés in the towns and hidden away in the countryside just waiting to be discovered. Pop in for a quick cup of coffee or make it a social occasion lingering over the newspaper or chatting with friends or family. New places to eat and drink are popping up all the time and there are some gems.

For somewhere quiet and relaxing where there are interesting curios, an old-world courtyard, herb garden to wander around and fresh, flavoursome food, then Memorys Restaurant in Springston is a must.

The Store @ Tai Tapu has an established reputation for constantly good food that is seriously scrumptious and totally reasonable in price.

The hot, dry climate of the Canterbury Plains and bony ground that was once the Waimakariri River provides good ground for grape growing, explaining the success of vineyards in the area.

Some vineyards such as Larcomb Vineyard focus on providing an ideal venue for weddings and other special occasions, while others such as True and Daring have a sole purpose which, in this case, is to produce award-winning reisling which they export and sell from the cellar door.

The district is rich in wildlife especially birds, both native and introduced.

Common introduced species include black-backed and red-billed gulls, hedge and house sparrows, starling and thrush, while the native silvereye is also quite common.

The lakes and rivers are popular with fishermen, with a good chance of catching a rainbow or brown trout. On the beaches, surfcasters try their luck at catching sea-run salmon.

There is life on shingle beaches, too, so look out for little banded dotterels and maybe a wrybill. Black and white oystercatchers and spur-winged plover will also be there and anywhere where there is open moist ground that they can dig in for worms, while the brilliant colours of the pukeko can also be seen in boggy areas.

Black and mute swans are prevalent on Lake Ellesmere where water fowl, including Canadian geese, mallards and scaup ducks, mingle with pied shags, white-faced heron and a similar looking bird but more colourful; the Australasian crested grebe inhabits

THE WILDLIFE SCENELake Forsyth.

The song of the bellbird will be heard in native bush, preferring tall trees, including gum trees. Fantails and silvereye also prefer the bush.

Around Akaroa, a tui may be seen. These have been introduced onto the peninsula and are breeding there.

While in Akaroa, take a harbour cruise to see humpback whales, dolphins, seals and penguins.

In the plains, pheasant and Californian quail may be seen scurrying through long grass or a skylark heard as

it hovers in the sky.Colourful paradise ducks may also be

found in low and high country areas, squatting on a mountain tarn that is hardly large enough to support them.

The kea hanging around Arthur’s Pass township are guaranteed to entertain, stealing diners’ food and pecking at parked cars. The New Zealand robin is also often seen there, and the great spotted kiwi can be heard at night. For those venturing higher in the mountains, a sighting of a rifleman, rock wren or whio duck is to be treasured.

Fishing at Lake Coleridge

Fishing in the Harper River

When going out for a day trip, no matter what direction you take, there are a variety of sights and experiences on offer.

Heading WestSnow is not uncommon around

Porter’s Pass in winter, offering fun in the snow for the family and perhaps some skiing at Porter’s Skifield or one of the club fields.

At Castle Hill, the limestone rock formations can be explored and further west many go caving at Cave Stream.

For walkers and trampers, Craigieburn Forest Park has tracks through beech forest.

Following the Highway South

Dunsandel has a great café and trove of handmade treasures at the old church. The man-made Lake Crichton, where waterskiing takes place, is just down the road.

Crossing over, the Rakaia River, Ashburton has a great shopping centre and some good eateries, while its botanical gardens are a must to see, as is the playground for the young.

Exploring around Lake Ellesmere

Not far from Leeston is Hart’s Creek with a walkway to a bird hide on the lake, and at Lakeside Reserve, you can picnic or paddle a boat.

At the opening of Lake Ellesmere, the Ngati Moki pa site is worth viewing though should not be entered. However, the historic Hone Wetere Church and

DAY TRIPS AND ATTRACTIONS IN AND AROUND SELWYN

urupa (graveyard) where there are some pre-European burials can be explored.

The lake can also be accessed via Selwyn Huts, a fishing village and Kaitorete Spit, which in itself is fascinating as it sits between lake and sea.

In the shingle at Birdling’s Flat, quartz, agate and perhaps another gemstone might be found or just go and see them at the gemstone and fossil museum.

Heading back to town, take a short detour up the Kaituna Valley where you will see a quaint church and a small idyllic picnic area that has a short walkway.

Exploring the FoothillsA short drive from Springfield is

Kowai Bush, an example of the forest that once covered the area. Follow the walkway which is suitable for all ages.

At Hororata is Cotons Cottage and Glentunnel, a great little museum, both with yesteryear exhibits worth a view. On Sunday afternoon, the ladies at St Andrews of the Glen engage in fundraising by offering home-baked treats and afternoon tea.

Taking the Inland Scenic Route

Washpen Falls, just off highway 77 at Windwhistle, is a privately owned track to a waterfall well worth seeing.

Coleridge, too, is off the beaten track yet interesting to explore. The village has many areas to relax or picnic in among the trees, and there are plenty of walking opportunity including the arboretum and down to the river, where the water comes out from the Power Station. A

road from the village leads to the intake from the lake.

Harper Rd also goes to the lake, passing a number of small lakes on the way. Lake Ida is also in the area. There is a 6km walk to reach the lake and an easy walking track around this smaller lake.

Travelling around Banks Peninsula

Pigeon Bay has two walkways: one to Wakaroa Point and a short walk through Hays Reserve, a small podocarp forest and bird sanctuary.

East Coast bays with sandy beaches include Little Akaloa, Okains and Le Bons. Okains has a historic museum with Maori artefacts and colonial collectibles, while Le Bons has a sheltered domain. Wainui, which is opposite Akaroa, is also good for swimming.

A journey to Akaroa travels past the Barry’s Bay Cheese Factory, where cheese can be purchased, then carry on to historic Duvauchelles. Akaroa town has lots of interesting history on view that includes whale pots, an old canon and a restored lighthouse. The town has French and English ends, and a good number of restaurants. Take a stroll through the Garden of Tane while there.

For Selwyn Auto Repair BusinessTwo LocationsYou can always tell how satisfied customers are – they return time and time again.

For owners of Jones Rd Auto, Lisa and Nigel Fleck, they have built up the Jones Rd Auto business to a standard they are extremely proud of, one where the service is top notch, repairs are outstanding and the staff are friendly.

The clients of Jones Rd Auto were queuing up to book their cars in but now the wait has been cut with the opening of Selwyn Auto.

The couple set up the Rolleston-based business four years ago and have served their customers so well bookings are now essential.

With the retirement of Roger Stephens at Springston, the Flecks saw an opportunity to not only serve current clients who were travelling to Rolleston to have their vehicles repaired and maintained but also new clients from the surrounding area.

Both garages offer a comprehensive range of services including WOFs, all repairs and servicing, tyres, wheel alignment, batteries, parts and accessories as well as auto electrical repairs. They also have auto diagnostic code readers for those times when your car is alerting you to a problem you may not be aware of.

Selwyn Auto is run by workshop manager and local Matt with Jones Rd Auto under the watchful eye of Nigel. Both have extensive experience as

well as a keen attention to detail.

Mechanics at both businesses are highly skilled and rigorous in making sure all maintenance and repairs are carried out to an exceptional standard.

Lisa and Charittee take care of the administration side of the businesses – making

sure both garages tick along smoothly and customers are kept up to date at all times so there are no awful surprises when they come to collect their vehicles.

Lisa says now having both businesses gives far more capacity for bookings with present clients not needing to travel so far – freeing up workshop space in Rolleston.

“We hope that this will prove far more convenient to all our clients who have been travelling from this area to Rolleston for their vehicle repairs and servicing. Now it will be far easier for them to have their vehicle’s work done as well as creating more space for clients at Jones Rd Auto in Rolleston.”

What makes both Selwyn Auto and Jones Rd Auto the first choice for hundreds of Selwyn residents is the integrity and commitment to top service and quality repairs that Lisa and Nigel insist upon. This care and attention to detail means no matter how big or small the job is, all staff will carry out repairs or servicing with care, ensuring your safety when you get back on the road.

The Ellesmere Motor Racing Club has been operating dirt track racing in the district since it was first formed in 1969 by Warwick Taylor and Kevin Burt. Originally called the Rakaia River Bed Racing Association, the club regularly moved around various locations over the years. Along with all the moves came a change of name to the Ellesmere Stock Rod and Dirt Bike Association.

In 1980 the club was successful in gaining approval from the local Council and Domains Board to build a speedway track at its current location. The first stone in this venture was turned by local contractor David Gamble in August 1981, with Paul Johnston and North Canterbury contractors Gray and Lewis also being instrumental in shaping the terrain.

In April 1982 the club had yet another

EllEsmErE motor racing club

name change to its current title, the Ellesmere Motor Racing Club (EMRC). After many fundraising ventures, along with many working bees from club members, the gates finally opened to the public on April 24, 1983. The first few years of racing at the Ellesmere track saw the club build a very high profile within the local community, and the track quickly obtained a great reputation among the many speedway competitors who travelled and raced at the dirt oval from all over the country.

A number of innovative events have been held during the past 30 years, including the Caravan Demolition Derby.

Class numbers steadily grew across the classes run, and on many occasions it wasn’t unusual for almost the entire Woodford Glen Super saloon field to turn up on race day to take in some Sunday afternoon laps.

A recent major overhaul and improvement in facilities by the committee is generating more interest, with the latest development a wall being built around the track by volunteers every Sunday.

The club is always keen for new members and even has a spare car where people can “have a go”.

Racing is during the spring and summer seasons and is for the following classes:• TQ• 1/4 Midget• Modified Sprints• Six Cylinder Sprints• Production Saloons• MotoX• Vintage• Mini Stock• Street Stocks

Selwyn District Residents Guide 201658 Selwyn District Residents Guide 2016 59GaRDeninG SwimminG in Selwyn

One of the attractions for people coming to Selwyn is the opportunity to have more land which they can benefit from and enjoy in lots of different ways.

There are many prize-winning gardens in the district on country estates, lifestyle blocks and smaller town sections and regardless of the potential of high winds, severe frosts and long hot dry summers, growing conditions are good.

Whether you have a small patch of paradise or a larger, vast garden to

Your outdoor space

tend to, there are many places within the region where you can get advice,

plants and all you need for keeping your section pristine.

If you are starting out on one of the many new subdivisions with just a patch of grass, you may need to call on the assistance of a landscape gardener or architect. They can put together a design for your place which will include plantings that will flourish for the conditions. They can also help with aspects of hard landscaping – with inclusions such as pizza ovens, outdoor entertaining areas, water features or even swimming pools included in the design. From here you can take the plan and do all the work yourself or let them finish off the project with the help of subcontractors.

Garden centres can also be not only the place to purchase all your gardening requirements, but also offer inspiration.

Intelligro’s aim is to take the guesswork out of gardening, giving you the confidence to try new things with gardening, including growing your own fresh produce. Their top-quality products are designed to give your plants the best start, and best chance at survival in our environment. They also offer trailer hire to make transporting mulch and larger items a lot easier.

Southern Woods produces a range of trees, shrubs and grasses for projects large and small. These includes native revegetation plantings, landscaping, forestry, fruit and nut trees as well as ornamental trees and shrubs.

Having a real estate agent who knows the area, cares about the community and is really invested in making sure you achieve the best price possible for your

property is essential.

At Matson and Allan local knowledge combines with honesty, experience and dedication as well as the parochial pride, to ensure this business realises benefits not only for its customers but also the wider community living in the Selwyn area.

“We are really committed to local sponsorship and enjoy being able to support both the Southbridge Rugby Football Club and West Melton Rugby Football Club as major sponsors,” says director and agent Chris Flanagan.

“We are proud to have sponsored the Matson & Allan Outstanding Young Achievers Award for the past 22 years. This is a prestige award that is highly regarded at local A&P Shows, recognising the accomplishments of up and coming young achievers in our local community.”

This dedication for the people of Selwyn continues in the way Matson & Allan Real Estate agents conduct their business. They like to operate quickly for their clients, offering competitive fees and free advice and property appraisals.

“We know the market we are working in. Pricing is an art and we like to price right. We are dedicated to ensuring we deliver for our clients.”

The core of the Matson and Allan Real Estate business is positioned firmly in the Selwyn District with offices situated in Rolleston, Leeston and Darfield. “We are perfectly positioned to service our increasing client base in one of the fastest growth areas in the country,” says Chris.

“Matson and Allan have a proven history and a proud record that spans many years. We may not be the biggest however

this is why the firm has been so successful over its many years in business – people like that personal contact, they like the time we spend to get to know their situation and the outcomes they want from a sale. We deliver and get the results expected by our clients – out of that comes great job satisfaction knowing we delivered for them and with that success comes the want to succeed time and time again.”
