 When the Endless Wire Rope Stopped in Dunedin, New Zealand
Dunedin with its steep hills rising abruptly from the narrow strip of flat land on which was located the principle business and industrial area of the city, was ideally suited to the development of a system of wire rope hauled tramways or cable cars.
To the citizens of Dunedin the new cable tramway to Roslyn soon took on all the appearances of a mechanical marvel.
In spite of the Dunedin and Roslyn Tramway Company's earlier decision to shorten the line and resite the engine house and carbarn at Highgate, those who favoured a re-routing and continuance of operations into Kaikorai Valley eventually won out, and in 1905 work on the new extension was commenced.

 Protea Pacific New Zealand Immigration Consultants - New Zealand Housing information for migrants.
House prices during the past few years have been moving higher especially in the Auckland region although across all of New Zealand house prices have increased by an average of 11% during 2005 (14% in 2004)  The heat now however is coming off the market with lower rates of inward migration and prices appear to have plateaued.
In the major centres finding unfurnished rental properties is not normally difficult although in recent years with high rates of inward migration accommodation has been more diffiuclt to secure and by historical standards more expensive (but still less so than cities like Syndey or Vancouver).
Property values in Dunedin have grown by 9.8% over the past 12 months, down slightly on 10.4% reported in January.  Property listings are still at a very high level suggesting that supply and demand may be reaching equilibrium.  A shortage of supply in the past was one of the factors pushing up values.
