Nelson - The Railway Reserve- A Slice of Heaven
Some students at Victory Primary School in Nelson, New Zealand did a study unit called Transporting Me. The focus of the unit was sustainability, the ecology of transport, and on different ways we get around. Part of the students' learning was also around City Council processes and how decisions are made.
There was a range of ways the students communicated what they learned including: scientific reports, presentations, speeches and making a DVD. The priority for the school has been to enable students to see their learning process through to conclusion. The student's DVD on the Railway Reserve represents the conclusion of that Inquiry Unit learning process.
In the first part of the DVD, Railway Reserve users share their thoughts about the Reserve and then share their thoughts about the proposed road.

My name is Nuansa Jessica Kloe. People call me either Chloe or Jess. I'm a 20-year-old Indonesian. I was born and raised in Jakarta and currently wandering in Middle Earth or in another name, New Zealand.
I'm a media major student and currently struggling with University. I love sharing my journey and my simple filmmaking works in this channel. There is no genre to this channel as I love to create random content. I aspire to inspire people throughout my content and I love to capture the beauty of the world throughout the lens of my camera and hoping you are mesmerized by it as much as I do!
I hope you are with me on this journey.
With Love,
Chloe
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,

Blenheim Riverside Railway-leaving the Station.
Please help and donate to production.
The Blenheim Riverside Railway (BRRS or BRR) is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway in Blenheim, New Zealand. It runs along the Taylor River, which winds its way through the middle of the town. It is operated by the all-volunteer Blenheim Riverside Railway Society.
he railway has a small fleet of locomotives. A & G Price George (works no. 166) is a 6.5 ton, 0-4-0 diesel-mechanical from the Ohai coal mines (one of only three built). During 2010 it was refurbished with a new engine and officially named George.
The second loco is a Ruston & Hornsby Murray 0-4-0, 5.5 ton, diesel-mechanical (works no. 170204) powered by a 3-cylinder Lister JP engine. This loco was modified from 2' 6 gauge. It formerly worked for Milburn Cement at the quarry near Milton.
Two diesel locomotives arrived in 2011. The first was a Ruston & Hornsby 20DL #226278 (which was modified to steam outline and repowered) which formerly worked at the Footrot Flats theme park in Auckland, New Zealand. Another, smaller diesel hydraulic bogie locomotive was donated to the society. This homebuilt loco is named Onahau and serves duty with track spraying and mowing.
Pending restoration is 0-4-2 steam locomotive 'Donald' from the Puponga Coal Mine in Puponga, near Collingwood.
A bogie railcar made by the society powered by a Toyota diesel engine is sometimes used.
The railway was founded in 1985 by the Marlborough Historical Society, and two years later track-laying commenced. In 1988 motor trolleys started running to Chinaman's Creek Crossing. Four carriages were built in 1989/90 with parts from the Lake Grassmere salt collection railway, and the A & G Price locomotive was restored and put into service. Also in 1989 the line was finished to Fulton Station from Chinaman's Creek Crossing, reaching the 4.5 km mark. The railway officially opened on Labour Weekend 1990. The first station resembled a lemonade stall, and the platform was only sleepers laid next to the track. In 1995 Beaver Station (now Brayshaw Station) was constructed, with an extension of track from the workshop requiring a cutting and embankment with a steep gradient. Previously, the railway was seen to have a negative impact on the park. By 1997 the locomotive Murray was restored to operational condition. In 2005 the track was extended to the current terminus at Riverside Park. Over the years the workshops have been enlarged, and concrete sleepers made by the volunteer members have been used to replace the wooden ones first used on the line. In September 2010 the Society celebrated its 25th anniversary.
The railway follows the Taylor River from Brayshaw Park in the southwest of Blenheim to Beaver Station, next to where the River Queen boat docks. There are passing loops at Brayshaw Park, Chinaman's Creek Crossing, Fulton Station and Beaver Station. The route is roughly 5.5 km long. There are six bridges and five road overbridges. At Beaver Station the line passes under the Main North Line Taylor River bridge.
The track is mainly 55/56 pound per yard (27 kg/m) rail on concrete sleepers designed and made by members of the railway. Currently sections of 330 m track upgrades are in progress, replacing old wooden sleepers and laying new ballast. The track is buried with only the railhead visible as the route is on a floodway and runs through the Taylor River Reserve.
There is an 800 m (half-mile) extension under construction to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre at Omaka Airfield, crossing the Taylor River by a bridge. Tracklaying will begin during 2013/2014. It is expected that the extension will be completed in time for the 2015 Omaka Airshow
The four main passenger carriages seat 24 people in 4-person bench seat configuration. They are all the same design except No. 4, which has an underslung compartment for tools to use in a derailment or the like. All carriages air braked. In the track work-train there are typically a ballast wagon, two flat-deck wagons, a tool wagon and a staff car. There are a six-man, a two-man and a four-man jigger, all ex New Zealand Railways. A hand trolley, track sprayer wagon, grass mower on railway wheels and bolster bogies are also used.#riversiderailway #Videoproductionblenheim

Kaikoura, New Zealand
Kaikoura is widely known as the whale watching capital of New Zealand. Unfortunately they didn't want to be watched today!
After Matt finished taking photos of me for my website we headed into town via the sea front.
If youre a helicopter fan Kaikoura helicopters can take you up for a scenic flight along with some whale watching. Today the sea breeze was somewhat on the strong side for flying.
Form the railway over bridge all the way down the main street Kaikoura is lined with cafes and restaurants that will defiantly have crayfish on the menu. In english Kaikoura can be broken into Kai meaning food and koura meaning crayfish.
After lunch we headed back south towards Christchurch doing a little train spotting on the way. The main trunk line follows state highway one as it weaves around the coast.
