Kiakoura Fishing trip dec12th-14th 2006
This is one of the activities from Manawatu Colleges activity weeks .
These are normally done in the last week of the school year over 3 days
This year 7 Adults and 14 Students from the 3rd and 4th Forms, Traveled from Foxton in the North Island to Kiakoura in the South Island of New Zealand.
This involved a road trip on the Tuesday ,Starting at 5.30 am by 2 Vans and a 4 wheel drive Suv. We stopped at Porirua to Pick up the Diver for the trip then straight in to wellington for the 8.30am Ferry ride across Cook straight to Picton, This takes about 3 hours .
Then a 2 Hour drive to the camp in Kiakoura.
unfortunately the water was to rough and Dirty to do any Diving or Fishing the first day. So it was a bit of Site seeing in Kiakoura and relaxing at the camp.
We managed to get into the water on the Wednesday. For a catch of Kina's and a Few Paua. And everyone had a good swim.
We stayed at a Camp site just out of Kiakoura. At a place called Mangamaunu

this is a Just 2 buildings a Kitchen/ Showers /toilets /Sleeping Quarters ,Plus a main Building for Meetings and Sleeping. "With the sea just across the road". This is run by a Trust ,and has 800 acres of farms plus heaps of Native bush.
Thursday it was a Quick clean up of the camp then we were of on our way on the Journey Home.
On the way we stopped to have a look at a Seal colony just of the side of the road. The sea was about 50 metres down the side of a steep cliff ,But the seals had no problem climbing up to nearly the road.
When we arrived in picton , We had lunch in the park just across from the Ferry terminal.
Then a nice easy Ferry ride across the Cook Straight touch wood we had a good trip both ways weather wise.
then a slow drive home."traffic jams all the way to Waikane".

Floods of 2004
The February 2004 storms and flooding created the largest emergency event in the past 20 years . Intense rainfall and gale force winds from 15 - 23 February affected the lower North Island and the top of the South Island . The river peak of the Manawatu River was the second largest on record, the largest being recorded in 1902. The flooding caused hundreds of people to be evacuated from their homes (with just over 2000 people evacuated at the height of the event), farmers lost sheep and cattle stock, many rivers breached their banks and considerable areas of farmland were inundated by silt and floodwaters. Remarkably no lives were lost as a direct result of the event. the Stop bank at whirikina was breached just under the trestle bridge, Which resulted in Farms being flooded nearly all the way back to the Shannon Road. most of these were Landcorp Farms. The army was out at Foxton Beach sand bagging as the River threatened to flood the Town.
In Foxton theManawatu College was used as the civil Defence centre. The Home Economics department was used to prepare meals for the many farming families that were made Homeless. Every Day Lunches were delivered to the farms that were used to Milk all the cows that were spread around the country side. Breakfasts and Dinner were served up to about 60 people each day. This lasted for about 2 weeks as slowly the Share Milkers found accomadation around the district.

When Strangers Appear
This flick was originally titled "Shearer's Breakfast".
The film’s budget was $3 million and it was shot mostly in Foxton New Zealand in 2001.
Actors Radha Mitchell, Josh Lucas, Barry Watson, Kevin Anderson, Jonathan Blick,
Director Scott Reynolds
PLOT DESCRIPTION
A woman is placed in a dangerous position after a chance meeting with a stranger in this suspense drama. A drifter wanders into a quiet diner off a highway, and the woman who manages the place takes pity on him and gives him breakfast on the house since he doesn't have any money. The stranger looks like he's been injured recently, and when three men come in for something to eat, he warns the manager that the new customers are not to be trusted -- he has information that they want, and they would be willing to hurt her as badly as they hurt him in order to get it. Whom should she believe? And what will happen if the drifter happens to be right? Produced under the title Shearer's Breakfast, When Strangers Appear stars Barry Watson, Radha Mitchell, and Josh Lucas; though set in the United States, the film was actually shot in New Zealand.
This film was mostly filmed around Foxton. Mainly on the corner of Heckford road and Kere Kere Road.
The Garage was up Moutiti Road.
