    I am 16 years old and I use to live at Brancepeth Station a few monthes ago before I moved to town. I also went to Wainuoru School. I first moved to Brancepeth when I was nine, my mother and I moved into the old cottage that from the sky, looks like a backwards giant 'L' after spending five years there we moved to the house that was put on Brancepeth sixty years ago or something like that . I was friends with the two other family's daughters that lived their and we all would help out with the docking and sheering. Resently we celebrated the farms 150th birthday ;-) and many people came to celebrate the Stations 150 years of existance. The Station was a beautiful place especially in the spring when all the flowers in the big house gardens were out, it looked beatuiful and the gardener Tony came out every day to make the place look its best he was always a great person to talk to and always had a smile I would talk to him and sometimes help him with the gardens. Mrs Beetham also did allot of work on the gardens when she could. I loved living there and hope the best for future family's that live there Brancepeth is a amazing place to live!.

    Thanks so much for your story Rose - it's amazing to have two stories about living at Brancepeth station and going to Wainuoru School that are about 40 years apart. I grew up on a dairy farm just outside of New Plymouth, but my dad always wished he ran a beautiful big sheep station like Brancepeth .... -- Courtney

    My Great-grand mother grew up in the Homestead and she all was talks about it so fondly. We had a family reunion at the house a few years back and it was amassing to believe that my family used to live there.

Castlepoint, between 1923-1928

    That's an interesting one, because it doesn't include the lighthouse, as in your other panorama:
  • National Library NZ on The Commons said:
    Do you think that Moore might be have been positioned in front of the lighthouse when he took this shot?
  • Brenda Anderson said:
    It is definitely from a lower angle, so it's quite likely he was at the level of the bottom of the lighthouse. I'll have a look sometime through my castlepoint shots and see if I can find a similar angle. All else fails, I'll just have to try to duplicate it next time I'm out there. LOL. :)

    My photo from ninety years later (taken 1996), from about the same point. You can see how the glacier has receded over that time.

    Thanks Brenda! I read (in that vague, somewhere, some-time-ago kind of way) that scientists were studying paintings of sunsets to measure air pollution over time. Photos like these make such interesting comparisons. -- Courtney
