 DISASTERS AND MISHAPS – COAL MINING - The Kaitangata Disaster, 1879 - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
One of the worst occurred on 21 February 1879 in South Otago in the Kaitangata Coal and Railway Co.'s mine.
Defective ventilation, the use of naked lights (mainly candles) in the face of recurring evidence of firedamp in the mine, and the refusal of the manager (“confessedly unskilled”) and the deputy manager to abandon or modify their haphazard and slipshod methods of operation were shown to be the causes of the tragedy.
In response to public clamour, new legislation was passed to provide stricter control of the working of coal mines, but even with this warning from Kaitangata it was to be many years before legislation produced the relatively safe conditions of today.

Rosemary Tisdall, chair of the Storylines Foundation, said creating the list was an exciting challenge as the overall quality of New Zealand children's writing and illustrating continues to improve, except in picture books where too many were quite ordinary, with no real attention to quality writing, illustration or design.
However, the selectors were impressed by the increasingly varied range of topics, styles and genres coming through from New Zealand publishers.
The list of Notable Books was established seven years ago to reflect the wide-ranging achievements of New Zealand authors and illustrators.
