The Lyttelton Timeball Station is a heritage-registered time ball station and prominent local landmark in Lyttelton, New Zealand. The original station, built in 1876, was significantly damaged by a series of earthquakes and aftershocks in 2010 and 2011, and finally collapsed on 13 June 2011 after a magnitude 6.4 aftershock. The tower was partially reconstructed, reopening in November 2018. At the top of the tower sits a red and yellow time ball that once dropped every day at 1pm to allow ships to check the accuracy of their timepieces, which was crucial for determining their position at sea. In the background, Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas sits in Lyttelton’s picturesque harbour.

#Hiking the Harry Ell Walkway from the Sign of the Takake to the Sign of the Kiwi in #Christchurch, #NewZealand is well worth the small amount of effort needed. You are rewarded with this glorious view of #GovernorsBay and #Lyttelton.

An evocative queer Lear reimagining This production propels us not into the distant Celtic past of Britain, but to an impending dystopian future. Thankfully, queerness is normal in 2125.

Word got around that I'm willing to write reviews. No posts for two years, then bang! – two reviews in two days. #Ōtautahi #Christchurch #Lyttelton #theatre #Shakespeare #QueenLear
