	The Lyttelton Tunnel - Early Christchurch - Heritage - Christchurch City Libraries
		A rail tunnel between Lyttelton and Christchurch would have been seen as an answer to the problem of getting bulky luggage and goods from the port to the city.
		The Lyttelton rail tunnel was officially opened for passenger traffic on 9 December 1867, taking less than seven minutes to make the trip through the hill section of the track.
		A line was built from the wharf to Ferrymead, and on 1 December 1863, New Zealand's first passenger line opened, with the railway station built on the South Belt (later Moorhouse Avenue).

	Lyttelton, New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lyttelton (43.6000° S 172.7167° E) is a port town located on the north shore of Lyttelton Harbour on Banks Peninsula, 12 km by road from Christchurch on the eastern coast of the South Island of New Zealand.
		As Lyttelton was a harbour, and had a large amount of flat land suitable for farming and development nearby, it was ideal for a colony.
		Lyttelton was the location for most of the exterior scenes in Peter Jackson's 1996 horror movie The Frighteners.

		With the opening of the Lyttelton rail tunnel in 1867 the Ferrymead line became redundant and was closed the same year after just four years of operation.
		Christchurch to Lyttelton was electrified in 1929 on the 1500 volts DC system used at Wellington and Otira, and trains were worked by six EC class electric locomotives until 1970.
		Lyttelton is mainly used to ship coal from the West Coast and container traffic through the shipping terminal, and was once a big station with its own locomotive depot.

		The latter part of 1907 was a memorable time to be at Lyttelton, the port of the city of Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island.
		She was retired from service in 1970 and in the absence of an immediate buyer, the Tug Lyttelton Preservation Society was formed and took over the preservation of the vessel at the end of 1972.
		She commenced her new role as a passenger vessel late in 1973 and it is hoped that she will continue to display a part of the historic past for many years to come.

	Holding The Line Down Under: More From New Zealand ~ by Candy Green
		Just one day before she was to leave for New Zealand, in the middle of her night, Sonya called to tell me she was sitting in her darkened house in Atlanta.
		This week, on the bulletin board in the school library was a news article from March 30, 1989, by Howard Keene celebrating the triumph of the rail tunnel through the Port Hills which separate Lyttelton, where I live, from Christchurch.
		New Zealand is, as Dave, the geophysicist once told me, “geologically unstable.” But, this week, about the same time Sonya, was battling the hurricane, an earthquake was noticed by some in Christchurch, measuring 4.3 on the Richter (www.geonet.org.nz) and described as nearly enough to “move ornaments.” No damage reported.

	Noonsite: New Zealand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		New Zealand is a favourite place to spend the cyclone season in the South Pacific and it has a good reputation among cruising sailors as the place where everything can be fixed, upgraded or replaced.
		It is the yachting capital of New Zealand and virtually every marine facility, service and brand is available in the central city Westhaven-Viaduct area.
		It is particularly difficult to cruise beautiful Fiordland on the remote south west coast because of exposed open-ocean approaches and deep water anchorages in the fiords; perhaps the awe-inspiring Milford Sound is best savoured from the deck of a locally skippered boat.
