In 1873, Walter Buller’s A History of the Birds of New Zealand introduced our extraordinary birds to the world, and in doing so led many New Zealanders to appreciate them for the first time. This talk draws on Geoff Norman’s book Birdstories, which builds on that legacy, describing the birds’ origins and discoveries, their place in Māori and Pākehā culture. He also looks at changing attitudes and strategies to ensure their conservation and survival, and illustrates his account with how they have been depicted throughout the centuries - the earliest moa hunters’ rock drawings, the watercolours of Cook’s draftsmen, the 19th century ‘fine bird book’ lithography, and the work of our contemporary artists.
Geoff Norman was born in Wellington and has a background in science and environmental studies. He has been involved in publishing for over 30 years, designing, typesetting and producing books.
His first book, Buller’s Birds of New Zealand: the complete work of J G Keulemans, was published in 2012. It was the New Zealand Herald’s Book of the Year in 2012 and a finalist in the 2013 NZ Post Book Awards. BIrdstories, published in 2019, was shortlisted for the Okham New Zealand Book awards.

Hutt City Mayor Ray Wallace and Hutt City Deputy Mayor and Wellington Water Committee Chairman David Bassett recently visited the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant to check in on the progress of the ground improvement works currently under way.
“It’s incredibly important that key infrastructure such as the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant has the capability to operate as normal following a large quake,” said Mayor Wallace. “It’s brilliant to see that innovative techniques like this being used to make our communities more resilient, without interrupting day-to-day operations at the plant.”
Ground Engineering experts, Mainmark Ground Engineering, have developed this non-invasive ground improvement and liquefaction mitigation technique, Terefirm™ Resin Injection, which can be applied under existing structures. Wellington Water’s Seaview project team has likened the technique to “botox for the ground”.
Improving resilience isn’t just about being prepared for a large earthquake or disaster, it’s about repairing and recovering quickly. With the goal of having the plant continue to operate following a large earthquake, it’s important that we create strong foundations underneath existing structures, which will allow for reduced re-build efforts and a quicker return to full operation
