Dunedin Railway Station in New Zealand's South Island, designed by George Troup, is the city's fourth station. It earned its architect the nickname of "Gingerbread George".Early rail in DunedinDunedin was linked to Christchurch by rail in 1878, with a link south to Invercargill completed the following year, and the first railway workshops were opened at Hillside in South Dunedin in 1875. Early plans were for a grand main station on Cumberland Street, but these did not get further than the laying of a foundation, and a simple temporary weatherboard station was built next to the site in 1884. It took close to 20 years for government funding to be allocated, and planning only really commenced as the 19th century was drawing to a close.The logistics of constructing what was at the time New Zealand's busiest railway station took three years before construction began in 1903. Dunedin required a station for a wide range of activities: it was a commercial and industrial centre, close to gold and coalfields, with a hinterland that was dependent on livestock and forestry for its economy.ConstructionIn an eclectic, revived Flemish renaissance style, (Renaissance Revival architecture), the station is constructed of dark basalt from Kokonga in the Strath-Taieri with lighter Oamaru stone facings, giving it the distinctive light and dark pattern common to many of the grander buildings of Dunedin and Christchurch. Pink granite was used for a series of supporting pillars which line a colonnade at the front. The roof was tiled in terracotta shingles from Marseilles surmounted by copper-domed cupolas. The southern end is dominated by the 37-metre clocktower visible from much of central Dunedin.

The Green Charter The charter is the founding document of The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand. The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand accepts Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand; recognises Maori as Tangata Whenua in Aotearoa New Zealand; and commits to the following four Principles: Ecological Wisdom: The basis of ecological wisdom is that human beings are part of the natural world. This world is finite, therefore unlimited material growth is impossible. Ecological sustainability is paramount. Social Responsibility: Unlimited material growth is impossible. Therefore the key to social responsibility is the just distribution of social and natural resources, both locally and globally. Appropriate Decision-making: For the implementation of ecological wisdom and social responsibility, decisions will be made directly at the appropriate level by those affected. Non-Violence: Non-violent conflict resolution is the process by which ecological wisdom, social responsibility and appropriate decision making will be implemented. This principle applies at all levels. __________________________________________________ Te marautanga Kakariki He korero whakamarama mo nga Kakariki Ko tenei te marautanga timatanga a Te Roopu Kakariki o Aotearoa E wha nga pou tikanga whakapono a Te Roopu Kakariki Tikanga Toi Potapotae Ko te putake o te tikanga toi potapotae ko te tangata he wahanga no te ao tuturu.

As one of only three authentic Scholar's Gardens found outside of mainland China, the Dunedin Chinese Garden is set in the heart of Dunedin City centre. The Ming-Qing dynasty design, offers a unique insight into the Scholar's home and workplace, featuring a small lake, mountain, many hidden courtyards, pavilions, and buildings. Opened in 2008, the Garden is a rapidly developing into what is known locally as 'an Oasis in the city', in which its surrounding walls shelter it from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering a tranquil setting in which visitors can enjoy not only the culture, but also the space to sit and quietly contemplate over a pot of authentic Chinese Tea. The small tea/ gift shop offers a range of traditional style Chinese buns and dumplings, five different types of Chinese Tea, coffee, soft drinks and ice cream. As well as a range of souvenirs including decorative screens, embroideries, coin cases, costumes, tea sets, fans and childrens toys. A small library is becoming established in the Tower Room featuring books based on Chinese culture and gardens. And visitors are able to try on a range of authentic Chines costumes, or play games such as Chinese Checkers, Wei qi, Chess or even the Marble game. Children love coming to feed the goldfish, or to adopt and release their own into the pond and often revisit to see if they can spot the fish they released! The Garden organise children's activities during school holidays, including workshops, storytimes, and treasure hunts, for which they can participate in free, as long as they are accompanied by an adult (to whom admission prices do apply). Three of the major Chinese festivals are celebrated in the Garden - including the Dragon Boat Festival, the Moon Festival and the Chinese New Year.
