When Peter Cotterill begins his diary in 1953, little does he realise that something is happening elsewhere in New Zealand that is going to have a huge impact on his life. As he tells of his day-to-day life in Napierschool, paper round, Scouts, as well as the lasting effects of World War II on his friends and familythe forces of nature are at work, culminating in an event so tragic that it will shock a whole nation. That was, of course, the Tangiwai rail disaster on Christmas Eve 1953, as a result of the Tangiwai bridge being washed away by a lahar from Mt Ruapehu.

Alois Hartmann was cursing his father's incredible view, not to pass the farmstead over to him, the second born. Hand over head he left embittered and angry, together with his young wife Judith, the home valley in Switzerland and immigrated to New Zealand. He vowed loudly that he would show them all, who knew best about livestock and crop cultivation. The land at Taranaki was fertile and the Hartmann-Station became with the years an impressive property. But it demanded everything, hard work and solitude. Judith felt robbed of all her dreams and illusions. On Christmas Eve 1953 she set off to visit her only friend at Auckland, to find comprehension, comfort and advice. On that Holy Night nobody knew that the train would never reach its final destination, perhaps only the angry Mount Ruapehu...

For over 25 years our building industry, economy and Government have failed to provide this basic guarantee: new buildings will not rot. Leaky buildings are the result of an unfortunate confluence of industrial, legislative, historical and cultural factors. Collectively, these elements stubbornly continue to defy a full and final resolution. Featuring personal stories of homeowners faced with insurmountable repair costs of hundreds of thousands to their 'dream home', often leading to sickness, depression and financial loss. And revealed for the first time, withheld Government reports that estimate the total cost of leaky dwellings at $47 Billion. Rottenomics is an engaging expose into a national crisis that refuses to go away.

Long Journey For Sevenpence written by Megan Hutching and has been published by Victoria University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999 with History categories.
Using interviews and questionaires, Megan Hutching has created a lively account of the process of emigration from the point of view of the migrants themselves, often in their own words. She recounts their experiences of the 12,000-mile sea journey to New Zealand and adaption to a life in a new country. Not all agree that it was the best thing they ever did, but most of them remained and now consider themselves New Zealanders. Why did people in post-war Britain make the long journey to the other side of the world? Besides the answers to this question, in this generously illustrated history Hutching also explores New Zealand government policy and the reasons for the assistend immigration scheme in 1947.
