Podcasts about Clutha

In this second Episode of Glasgow we leave Glasgow Green and travel from the East, along the river Clyde and past the Clutha bar that suffered such a tragedy a few years ago. We pass through the centre, traversing St Vincent Street to see some fabulous buildings including a Greek and Egyptian styled church reflecting the eclectic architecture of Glasgow. The street names reflect famous people and battles that were fought and you will hear how Nelson lost his eye and hear about the building that now houses the implement that removed the shrapnel during the battle. You will hear of the callous poisoning of Madeleine Smith's lover and how on earth did she walk free having bought the arsenic just a few days before. We will cross over to Charing Cross and hear of the square mile of Murder. Then, onto the wonderful Gilbert Scott building that makes up Glasgow University and also to extraordinary Hunterian Museum before arriving at Byers Road. Fascinating places to hear about and some fascinating tales to tell.

You might think of the library as one of the last bastions of peace and quiet, a safe cosy space for allcomers. But worryingly, South Otago librarians are reporting an increase in aggression from visitors. The issue came up recently at a Clutha District Council committee meeting where one councillor asked if they needed a safe room. The Clutha district has five small libraries, its District Libraries manager Debbie Duncan spoke to Lisa Owen.

Farmers are dealing with stock losses and bringing in extra feed and are considering sending cows elsewhere for milking. Lauren Crimp reports.

After days of downpours sent flood waters rushing through homes and slips spilling down roads in Dunedin and Clutha, the clean up is now underway. Our reporter Lauren Crimp paid South Dunedin a visit.

Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell is in Dunedin meeting with civil defence - whose main concerns are dangerous river conditions, significant flooding and slips that could threaten lives, Emergency Management Otago Group Manager Matt Alley spoke to Lisa Owen.

In just one day, the Bay of Plenty has had double the amount of rainfall that fell in all of September and further down south - in the Otago region - people are told to stay away from all roads tonight with surface flooding, rising rivers and slips all causing a threat to life. A rare red rain warning has been issued for North Otago, Dunedin and coastal Clutha. It's the first time the area has ever had what is the highest level of Metservice's colour coded weather warnings, reporter Tess Brunton spoke to Lisa Owen.

MetService has issued a rare red level rain warning for North Otago, Dunedin and coastal Clutha, as heavy rain continues to batter the region. MetService meteorologist Mmathapelo Makgabutlane spoke to Corin Dann.

The message is clear as heavy rain pelts the lower South - be prepared. A red-level heavy rain warning is in force for North Otago, Dunedin and coastal Clutha. NIWA reports Dunedin has already had 75 percent of its normal monthly rainfall for October.

35,000 people marched in Dunedin at the weekend, opposing the government's announcement that the redevelopment will need to be revised due to a budget blow out. Prior to being elected, National campaigned on delivering Dunedin a hospital that would be fit for purpose for generations, not just a patch-up job. A report commissioned by the government concludes the current hospital plans probably can't be delivered within the 1.88 billion dollar budget and could balloon out to 3 billion. Cuts, delays, shelving spaces or developing the old hospital site are now all on the table. Clutha District Mayor Bryan Cadogan was among those protesting over the planned cuts and he spoke to Lisa Owen.

Tensions are flaring in a small Clutha District community with allegations of stock shooting, poaching and poor pest management in nearby forestry blocks. Farmers near Lawrence and Tuapeka said they want things to change but there's been a communication breakdown with forestry companies. It prompted local police to call a public meeting this afternoon to air their concerns with forestry representatives and get the conversation started, Reporter Tess Brunton was at the meeting in Lawrence.

The New Zealand gold rush kicked off in 1861 after gold was found near the Tuapeka River in Otago. Now a Clutha museum is  bringing that history back to life. Tuapeka Goldfields Museum & Visitor Centre manager speaks to Jesse.

A Clutha River punt operator says locals were 'flabbergasted' to find a seal swimming 50 kilometres upstream from the coast Saturday morning. Tom Jones, from Tuapeka Mouth, has seen strange things bobbing along the river before, but he says this was a once-in-a-lifetime sighting. Jones spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Summer's just around the corner but the weather has other plans on Thursday as warnings for heavy rain, snow and severe gale northwesterlies are in place across New Zealand. MetService has issued wind warnings Thursday morning. Hawke's Bay is forecast to have strong west-to-northwest winds reaching severe gale force in exposed places and lasting until Friday morning.

After decades of waiting, the people of inland Otago finally have a two-lane bridge over the Clutha River at Beaumont. The $25 million bridge opened to traffic yesterday, but only after about 1500 locals took the opportunity to walk across its 195 metre span. Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown was there.

The small, West Otago town of Tapanui woke at the weekend to one of the biggest dumps of snow in years. Between 18 and 20 centimetres fell over Otago, Southland and Clutha and left Tapanui without power for most of Sunday morning. Vaughn Wesselson, a local butcher and business owner, thinks it was probably colder outside than in his meatlocker. Vaughn Wesselson spoke to Corin Dann.

A cold wintry blast has covered parts of Southland with snow and left some roads closed. Heavy snow warnings were issued by MetService for Central Otago, the Southern Lakes, Dunedin, Clutha, Southland and Stewart Island, and Fiordland about and south of Doubtful Sound, lasting into Monday in some places. There are also strong wind watches for Hawke's Bay and Tararua, Marlborough, Nelson, the Canterbury high country, Dunedin, Clutha, Southland, and Stewart Island. MetService Meteorologist Lisa Murray spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Tensions in a small Clutha town, where residents pay vastly different levies from those set 25 years ago. The Waipori Falls Village- which has about 33 properties- attempted to have a meeting to resolve the problem on the weekend, but got nowhere. Clutha mayor Bryan Cadogan says there's vast discrepancies in costs that aren't reflecting what a leaseholder should pay. He says the first landholders did their due diligence years ago when the houses were first sold off. "That's the real problem, we're carrying through a private deal from 30 years ago that now has the huge unintended consequences." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gore mayor Ben Bell survived the clash of the ages at Gore District Council. Councillors this afternoon backed down on a motion of no confidence against the 24-year-old mayor, to the approval of a packed public gallery. Clutha mayor Bryan Cadogan was present at the showdown meeting, and said the verdict left a lot of questions unanswered. "I've had a bit of time to ruminate on it, and while I'm thankful for democracy and for Ben that they did pull back- in the cold light of day, where does it go from here? When there isn't that intense scrutiny that was on today?" LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tale of a Trooper

Recent rainfall has alleviated drought concerns in Otago and Southland, but it's still been another tough summer for southern farmers. Hot and dry summers have been the norm in recent years - and that's raised questions about what the future holds. Our reporter Timothy Brown and camera operator Nathan McKinnon visited the Clutha district, and filed this report.

Parts of the Clutha district are without power after the storm overnight. Water supply is also affected. Clutha District Mayor Bryan Cadogan spoke to Corin Dann.

Three high profile and popular mayors in the lower South Island are putting their jobs on the line in the October local elections by refusing to reject the Goverment's controversial three waters reforms. Many of their voters in Gore, Clutha and Central Otago vehemently oppose the changes which shift drinking, waste and stormwater management from 67 councils to four mega-entities. Timothy Brown has more.

Heavy rain, snow and strong winds continue to affect key routes across the South Island. Mountain passes are still affected by snow and more is forecast for Clutha and Southland. Waka Kotahi journey manager for Canterbury Tresca Forrester spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Welcome to Proper Mental episode 59 with my guest Michael Byrne who is the Founder of LETs (Lived Experience Trauma Support) and one of the UK's leading Mental Health speakers. Michael established LETs after overcoming many traumatic events in his life including child abuse, the violent murder of his father, losing twins through miscarriage and surviving The Clutha disaster in 2013. He suffered a breakdown in 2017 and was diagnosed with C-PTSD and it was after his journey to recovery that he founded LETs with the aim of improving Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace.

Into the Clutha region now, and on the banks of the Clutha river is the Tuapeka Punt.The punt is a water powered ferry that crosses the river, and the only one left in the southern hemisphere.There were 25 or so of them in their heyday, used to connect a remote gold mining camp to the other side of the river.Now, it's a quirky attraction.Tom Jones operates the ferry - known as 'The Punt'- at Tuapeka Mouth, he joined Tim Dower to talk about the attraction.LISTEN ABOVE

A huge coal project by a foreign company. Environmentalists concerned about the impacts. A government talking about jobs. Sound familiar? But this battle happened 50 years ago, when a small group waged a David–and-Goliath campaign against a coal terminal planned for the coast south of Sydney.

A series of job expos, compared to "speed dating", has resulted in employment for hundreds of people in the Otago region. The third and final "Jobbortunity" event was held in Queenstown over the weekend, where the unemployed were put in front of a host of mostly agricultural businesses desperate for workers. Balclutha and Dunedin recently staged similar events. More than 8000 jobs were on offer in total and about 10 per cent of the roles have been filled. Clutha District mayor Bryan Cadogan speaks to Corin Dann.

Heavy snow has battered the lower South Island causing dismay for farmers and delight for school children. For the second day of the school holidays, many woke to a winter wonderland, icy roads and a polar blast that left many reaching for their thermals. Otago/Southland reporter Tess Brunton hit the road to see how those in the Clutha district were faring.

Southern farmers are waking up to disastrous scenes this morning, as snow continues to fall amid the freezing weather. Snow continued falling to sea level overnight in Fiordland, Southland and Clutha and more snow showers are predicted for Southland today. Luke Kane is milking cows on a farm in Tapanui, in West Otago, near Gore.

Meanwhile residents in Hamish Walker's electorate are shocked he's behind the leak of Covid-19 patient details to media. Hamish Walker won nearly 60 percent of MP votes in the last election - but a new candidate is now being sought for the electorate. Tess Brunton has been speaking to local voters and filed this report from Queenstown.

Shockwaves continue to ripple through National MP Hamish Walker's electorate in the wake of revelations he's behind the leak of Covid-19 patient details to media. He won Clutha-Southland comfortably last election but yesterday Walker announced he wouldn't contest the seat at the September election. Arrowtown resident, Verona, told reporter Tess Brunton she's disappointed by his behaviour.

Ten weeks is a long time in politics and by September 19th we may well have forgotten about this covid privacy scandal.But is ten weeks long enough for the National Party to repair the damage?Bad enough that Hamish Walker sent this information to the media, we can only read that he was trying to fix things up after what he said a week ago.Maybe...just maybe...you can put that down to inexperience.Or maybe I'm being too charitable.In the Herald today, Audrey Young isn't so gentle.She calls his mea culpa 'an apology for an apology', saying it smacks of self-righteous post fact justification, and downright deception.The gall of it.The so-called leak itself, the actual disclosing of privileged confidential information to a person who shouldn't have it, now that's down to Michelle Boag.To say she should know better would be the understatement of the year, I really couldn't believe it when I first heard that last night.So, where to from here?National's leader has said he'd have sacked David Clark for his covid stuff-ups and he has in effect sacked Hamish Walker, by taking away his portfolios.Should he go further, should Walker even be standing again in that plumb Clutha seat. I guess that's for the local Party Committee.And what of Michelle Boag?Someone with such a glittering reputation...until this.Disappointed is a word we hear so often these days it's really lost all meaning.Gutted and appalled are closer to what I feel.

Jesse speaks to Waipori Falls resident and former body corporate chairman Daniel Williamson.

David and Rachel discuss the tragic helicopter crash that killed three police helicopter crew members and seven pub patrons in Glasgow in 2013.

Hosts Mike Yardley and Chris Lynch bring you episode 15 of Kiwi Tripsters. In this episode, we trail the mighty Clutha river in the south island of New Zealand that swirls from Wanaka, West Coast town Hokitika, head over to Europe's many blue-ribbon destinations that tout their museums as the most cherished landmarks and must-see attractions and let’s indulge in some bucket-list travel dreaming of South Africa, and Cape Town in particular, with an eye on wine

Hamish Walker MP - Member for Clutha-Southland, National Party

The mighty Clutha River is New Zealand’s second longest river, the longest in the South Island and it boasts the highest volume of any river in the country, making it the fastest flowing. In comparison to the Waikato, the Clutha carries nearly twice the volume of water. Running from Lake Wanaka through Central Otago, it finally spills into the Pacific Ocean, south of Balclutha. Its swift and swirling emerald green waters vividly intense, if not a little bewitching as it charges through the countryside with imposing intent. Many road-trippers will most likely cross-paths with the Clutha while holidaying in Wanaka, or calling into Cromwell, en-route to Queenstown. But if you have the time to explore a little further, the Clutha encompasses a swag of evocative tourist gems, from the treasure-chest of Clyde to the lesser-known jewels like Roxburgh. On a recent summer swing, I rolled through the wide and lonely wilderness of Central Otago’s Manitototo, which terminates in Alexandra. From there, the perfectly-formed and impeccably preserved goldrush town of Clyde is just a 10 minute hop up State Highway 8. Originally known as Dunstan, Clyde lies beside the mighty Clutha River amongst a rugged landscape dotted with dark schist rocks, swaying tussocks and the awesome Clyde hydro electric dam. The heart of town, Sunderland Street, boasts one of New Zealand’s best historic precincts, lined with storied properties like the Dunstan Times Building, Hartley Arms Hotel, the town hall/lodge, Dunstan House, Dunstan Hotel, the former Benjamin Naylor General Store, post office, court house and Clyde Railway Station all standing proudly defiant to the passage of time. A hospitality powerhouse is Oliver’s Restaurant, which was established and operated for 20 years by Fleur Sullivan, of Fleur’s Place Moeraki fame. At the foot of the serrated Dunstan Range which was sporting a skiff of fresh January snow when I visited, Clyde is also the start (or finish line) of the Otago Central Rail Trail, New Zealand’s Original Great Ride, which runs along the old railway line all the way to Middlemarch. It has now been joined by a supporting cast of trails, which are more focused on tracing the Clutha.  The Otago Central Rail Trail is New Zealand's Original Great Ride and extends 150 kilometres along the former railway route between Middlemarch and Clyde. The Roxburgh Gorge Trail is a one-day trip on a 34km route snaking alongside the Clutha River from Alexandra to the Roxburgh Dam. And the latest kid on the block is the Clutha Gold Trail, which opened four years ago. This 73km trail is a unique riverside heritage experience, heading south from Roxburgh to the Beaumont Gorge, where it branches off through rich green valleys towards the historic gold mining town of Lawrence. It was nearby at Gabriel’s Gully, that the Otago goldrush was born, following the discovery of gold in 1861. Both trails can be discovered on foot or by bike, immersing you in the golden Otago heartland, richly wreathed in its mining legacy. If the trails sound like too much of a hard slog for your leisurely vacation plans, hopscotch your way around the characterful attractions, by car. In fact, just east of Alexandra, follow State Highway 85 for ten minutes to Omakau and Ophir, which was once the area’s most populous centre, taking its name from King Solomon’s gold mine. The streetscape feels frozen-in-time, lined with dozens of historic buildings and cottages, cleaved out of schist, mudbrick and timber. In a region where bridges punctuate the panoramas, Ophir’s Daniel O’Connell Bridge is a star specimen, one of the region’s last surviving suspension bridges, built in 1880. A whole roasted bullock and 238 litres of beer was devoured to celebrate its opening. Ophir Post Office is another classic, as is Pitches Store, a former grocery shop which now wins accolades for its superb boutique accommodation and restaurant. Great on-the-go coffee, too! Back on State Highway 8, I headed...

Michael McEwan interviews Michael Byrne, the founder of LETS (Lived Experience Trauma Support) and author of Poems From A Mod: My Journey Through Trauma, Recovery And Survival.  Michael was diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder based on many traumatic events in his life, including abuse as a child, the murder of his father and surviving the Clutha disaster. In April 2017 he had a devastating breakdown which was complete in late January 2018. Since then he has been in recovery.

Like the hopeful miners of the 1860s New Zealand Gold Rush, we too struck the precious metal while cycling through central Otago. In this 40th episode of the How Are You? Where Are You podcast we follow in the footsteps, or even the cycle tracks, of the kiwi pioneers along the mighty Clutha Mata-Au River where we find signs of the bygone days. What the hills surrounding the Clutha lack in altitude, they make up for in stature. They hem you in as you ride down their valleys. Baden hones his sheep farming skills in a visit to a high country sheep farm and enters a heated discussion with Farmer Jack. The week of cycling ends over a bottle of central Otago Pinot Noir while relaxing at the Cardrona Hotel, one of the country’s most iconic pubs. We reunite with cycling comrade Nick who decided to cross the Crown Range with us to be hooked up with nice food and good times.
