Film star’s life of disco balls, 

emus and quiet reflection 

• By Dylan Smits 

IN THE tiny settlement of 

Birdlings Flat, Patrick McNulty 

spends his advancing years 

tending to a menagerie of emus, 

pigs and chickens and reflects on 

his life’s loves and losses. 

Little did he know he would 

become the star of a short film. 

First time director Loren Kett, 

29, met the bearded man in his 

70s about five years ago when 

his colourful property caught 

her eye during a visit to the 

settlement. 

“He was the most gentle and 

sweet man, living his fullest 

life blasting Irish music from 

the porch covered in disco 

balls, showing me the sewing 

machines he’d fixed up, all of his 

polished gemstones, even introduced 

me to his emus,” she said. 

She had climbed over the fence 

to give his kunekune pigs a pat. 

Although the house looked 

a little scary from the outside, 

covered in bicycles and 

other knick-knacks, she was 

completely drawn to it. 

“I don’t do my house up for 

people to think ‘oh what a lovely 

house.’ I just put in what I think 

I want and it’s mine. It’s like my 

own little castle,” McNulty says 

in the film. 

Called My Dying Place, the 

film was accepted into the Show 

Me Shorts Film Festival which 

runs from October 11-23.

STAR: A short film showcases the daily life and past ups and downs of Patrick McNulty 

from Birdlings Flat. The film, My Dying Place, asks viewers to ‘not judge a book by its cover’ 

and examines McNulty’s loves and losses as he gets older in the quiet settlement.

How much Crocs really cost 

A FAMOUSLY ugly shoe is 

trending in the wrong direction 

when it comes to safety, data 

shows. 

So far this year, ACC has 

paid out nearly $2 million to 

people with ‘fall related’ claims 

involving Crocs, jandals and 

high heels alone. 

The total number of Crocrelated 

accidents in the year to 

September has already surpassed 

2023’s figure, up to 128 from 109. 

The number of jandal-related 

accidents is decreasing, while 

high heel accidents have 

remained steady over the past 

four years, the data shows. 

Losing balance or skidding on 

foot was the most common way 

for people to sustain injuries in 

both Crocs and jandals. 

A twisting movement was the 

most common way to be injured 

wearing heels – 70 people were 

injured in this fashion over the 

past nine months. 

Meanwhile, at least 10 people 

were “struck by a person or 

animal” while wearing Crocs, 

jandals and heels, causing a 

significant enough injury to 

require ACC. 

For the year to date, more than 

$1.3 million has been paid in 

active costs relating to the 495 

people who needed to recover 

from jandal accidents. 

While some people might 

need more assistance than 

others, that cost about $2700 on 

average per jandal accident. 

For high heel injuries, about 

$472,720 was paid out, and for 

Croc-related accidents, $63,797 

was paid out. 

The number of people hurt 

while wearing Crocs tripled between 

2022 and 2023, while the 

cost to ACC of treating those 

injuries doubled. 

On the numbers and costs 

alone, the humble jandal appears 

to sustain the most damage 

to the wearer. High heels 

come in second, with Crocs 

climbing the ranks to third. 

ACC said the data for this year 

was not definitive. 

When people hurt themselves, 

they had options to describe on 

the form how it happened. 

“This field is not mandatory 

to complete and not every client 

does so. Also, when the field is 

completed, there is considerable 

variation in the way accidents 

are described.” 

That meant there could be a 

much larger number of people 

who had footwear-related 

injuries who had not noted the 

type of footwear on the form.

The Strategists 

Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Mussolini and Hitler 

– How War Made Them, And How They Made War 

by Phillips Payson O’Brien 

A compelling revisionist history which explores 

the impact of WW1 on the mindsets and strategic 

decisions of WW2’s most important leaders If we 

want to understand military strategy, we must first 

understand the strategist. In THE STRATEGISTS, 

Professor Phillips Payson O’Brien delves deep into 

the psyches of five of the most impactful leaders in 

modern history - Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini 

and Roosevelt - and their respective strategic methods 

and choices. Payson O’Brien shows how the views of 

these leaders were forged in World War One and the 

Russian Civil War, and that these views are crucial to 

understanding how they fought World War Two. The 

implications of the power of leaders remain with us 

to this day- to truly understand what is happening in 

Ukraine, for example, requires us to know what has 

influenced the leaders involved.

Top trout play 

hard to get as 

young anglers 

cast their lines 

• By Geoff Sloan 

SPARKLING weather drew 

more than 5000 fishing fans to 

the Groynes fishing lakes on 

Sunday, in the hope of catching 

the big one. 

The free nationwide Take a 

Kid Fishing initiative aims to 

encourage young people to experience 

the joy of fishing. 

A special whole-of-site licence 

allowed event participants to 

fish without a licence for the day, 

with a limit of one fish for each 

child. 

Free fishing rods were provided, 

along with bait worms, 

and volunteers were on hand to 

assist with the set up, and help 

untangle lines. 

The free annual event was 

organised by the Kids Fishing 

Charitable Trust, with members 

running casting lessons and 

tackle demonstrations for the 

assembled anglers. 

An executive chef was also 

on hand to demonstrate how to 

fillet and cook the fish, for those 

lucky enough to haul one out of 

the lake. 

About 800 rainbow trout were 

released into the lakes in preparation 

for the event . 

Anglers were able to reel in 

about 350 fish on the day, with 

many of the larger fish managing 

to evade the multitude of 

hooks. 

Organisers said they were 

pleased with the number of 

young anglers who attended, a 

sign the future is looking strong 

for the sport.

Unique home a deer hunter’s dream 

A TAI TAPU couple spent an 

unexpected decade developing 

their own Grand Designs-style 

home where they can stand on 

their deck and shoot wild deer 

roaming in a private valley. 

While Jason and Megan Wood 

opted for their ambitious project 

to stay off the TV, they did enlist 

the expert help of builder Clive 

Barrington who was well used to 

building elaborate homes. 

But due to delays with the 

design and build, the Woods have 

spent more time planning and 

building their home than they 

have lived in it, OneRoof reported. 

They are now selling their labour 

of love at 4/82 Heaton Drive, 

Tai Tapu, which tested both their 

patience and budget, to be nearer 

to their teenage daughters’ school 

and activities in Christchurch. 

The couple first fell in love with 

the 4.38ha bare section in a sun-lit 

valley-within-a-valley near Tai 

Tapu after the earthquakes in late 

2010 and early 2011. 

It was their second time building 

a home and they had set ideas 

about how they wanted the house 

to look. 

“I had always wanted to build 

something cool – I don’t know 

if I would ever do it again. The 

last house I built, it was a nice 

house but it wasn’t a dream house 

and this was,” Jason Wood told 

OneRoof. 

GRAND DESIGN: A luxury fivebedroom, 

three-bathroom 

mountain lodge-style home 

on Heaton Drive, Tai Tapu, is 

for sale for the first time. 

To realise their ambitious vision 

of a chalet-inspired home with 

large windows and high ceilings 

in the foothills, they first enlisted 

the help of a draughtsman and 

then an architect. 

But after several years and tens 

of thousands of dollars in fees, 

Wood said neither had been able 

to pull it off and they eventually 

found Stephen Fitzgerald, of SFA 

Studio, who spent two years completing 

the plans. 

Wood said having three different 

people attempt the plans had 

been a large part of the delays and 

why the home which they had expected 

to take them three to four 

years to design and build ended 

up taking 10. 

The actual build took just under 

three years and the family finally 

moved in just before the country 

went into lockdown in 2020. 

Wood told OneRoof he couldn’t 

have been happier with the 

“phenomenal” build. 

The result was a luxurious 

five-bedroom, three-bathroom 

home with a gourmet kitchen, 

top-floor master bedroom, guest 

suite and an upstairs living and 

library area. 

While the property ended up 

ticking every single one of their 

boxes and was meant to be their 

forever home, Wood told OneRoof 

the delays meant the home they 

had planned for their children to 

grow up in hadn’t been ready until 

they were almost teenagers. 

“It’s a bittersweet thing to be 

selling and moving to be honest. 

We know we are giving up a lot, 

but both the kids go into town to 

school every day and they’ve only 

really known living out in Tai 

Tapu or on that piece of land. 

“They are chomping at the bit to 

get into town and I guess we are 

just doing it for family,” he said. 

It was a home that would suit 

both families and downsizers who 

wanted enough room for family to 

stay, Wood said. 

“You feel like you are away from 

it all. It’s amazing. At night you 

don’t see any light – it’s completely 

black. I always thought you would 

feel isolated, but you feel safe.” 

The wildlife was “insane”, 

Wood said, adding that at certain 

times of the year, wild deer can be 

seen roaming the property. 

“I shot three (deer) in one night 

just sitting on the deck.” 

Bayleys agent Chris Jones told 

OneRoof it was a unique property 

and he hadn’t seen anything like 

it before. 

“It’s unusual in a great way. A 

lot of people just end up taking a 

normal home and making it a bit 

bigger and a bit fancier – this is 

something pretty unique.” 

So far interest had come from 

expats in the United States, people 

wanting to move from the CBD 

for more space and Aucklanders 

looking to relocate, Jones said.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover” 

• From page 1 

The festival, held in cities 

nationwide, features 85 films 

including 26 made by New 

Zealanders. 

My Dying Place will be 

showcased during the festival’s 

Christchurch opening night at 

Alice Cinemas. 

Kett, from Christchurch, is a 

freelance editor, with eight years 

of experience working on commercials 

and music videos. 

“I’ve always enjoyed messing 

around with a camera. When 

I was little, I always had a film 

camera on me,” she said. 

The film initially follows 

McNulty’s daily routine with his 

sometimes demanding animals. 

Then the story delves into his 

experience with depression and 

anxiety, mostly brought on by 

his brother’s untimely death in a 

car accident. 

“Those are hard things in life, 

but it just makes you tougher,” 

he said. 

McNulty spends much of the 

film reflecting on life at an older 

age in his quiet sanctuary. 

“Memories, they’re all locked 

away. You can sit out here and 

think of them all.” 

After moving to Birdlings Flat 

from Christchurch nearly 30 

years ago to escape the busy-ness 

of the city, McNulty started 

collecting his animals. 

“Birdlings Flat, it’s unusual. 

There’s nothing like it anywhere 

in New Zealand. It’s like there’s 

an atmosphere that calms you 

and the township has all sorts of 

people,” he said. 

He now has more than 50 

chickens, a flock of ducks, 

two pigs, three piglets, three 

peacocks, and a shih tzu dog. 

“They rule my life,” McNulty 

said. 

Two of his most prized animals 

are his emus which were 

close to laying eggs during 

filming. 

Kett was encouraged to pursue 

her interest in directing by 

colleagues in the film industry 

and realised McNulty would be 

the perfect subject for a short 

documentary film. 

“When I stumbled across 

Patrick’s property my gut 

instincts told me there was a 

TEAMWORK: The makers of My Dying Place. From left to right, 

director Loren Kett, director of photography Julian Vares, star 

Patrick McNulty and producer Julie Gursha. 

CARE: A focus of the film is McNulty’s care for his animals. He has an eclectic collection of 

pets including chickens, pigs and emus. 

great story to be told here.” 

The short film has also been 

selected to screen as part of 

the Kerry International Film 

Festival in Ireland which starts 

on October 17. 

“That’s where Patrick is from 

so that was a really, really special 

one for us,” Kett said. 

McNulty was born in Ireland, 

but grew up in Christchurch. 

After his brother’s death, 

he escaped back to his birth 

country for a time before 

returning to New Zealand and 

getting married. 

“That didn’t work out, 

probably me again. I thought we 

were happy,” said McNulty. 

Kett sat on her film idea for 

more than two years after first 

meeting McNulty, but eventually 

got up the courage to approach 

him with the idea. 

“He had opened up to me about 

some pretty deep stuff. So he 

definitely left a mark on me which 

made me want to go back to it,” 

Kett said. 

“As soon as we reached out he 

“As we began talking about life it was so clear to 

me that human judgement is rife. People would 

see his house and automatically assume he was 

perhaps a little scary.” 

– Loren Kett 

said he was keen. He was really 

welcoming. He invited us around 

for a cup of tea and a chat and we 

got to know him better.” 

Kett and McNulty then spent 

the next two years filming the 

documentary over 10 visits. 

“As we began talking about life, 

it was so clear to me that human 

judgement is rife. People would 

see his house and automatically 

assume he was perhaps a little 

scary,” said Kett. 

“I wanted to show that beauty 

can be found everywhere, and 

delve into the cliché ‘don’t judge a 

book by its cover’.” 

Kett initially viewed making 

the film as a part-time hobby 

before positive reactions from 

friends and colleagues convinced 

her to submit the film to Show 

Me Shorts. 

“I’d never meant for it be a 

festival film. When I found out I 

literally screamed in my office and 

was jumping and running around. 

Patrick was really pleased as well. 

He’s excited to share his story with 

people.” 

Another boon from making 

the film has been the blossoming 

connection between Kett and 

McNulty. 

“We’ve got a really lovely 

friendship which is so special. I 

think it ended up being a little 

bit of therapy for both of us, just 

talking about life.” 

Kett says she and McNulty are 

“extremely proud” of the film. 

“It’s sort of his legacy. When I 

showed him a cut he said he can’t 

wait to leave something behind. 

He’s going to leave his mark on 

people through the film.”

Greyhounds gather for great walk 

• By Ella Jenkins 

GREYHOUND owners and their 

dogs strutted their stuff at Hagley 

Park on Sunday as part of the 

Great Global Greyhound Walk. 

About 80 people took part this 

year, slightly up on last year when 

71 walkers and their dogs joined 

almost 12,000 from around the 

world, walking with the aim of 

promoting the breed as a pet. 

Christchurch organiser Kieran 

Doyle says it is great to be a part 

of the greyhound owners’ community 

and to “organise some 

fun adventures for everyone to get 

together”. 

Doyle was walking with his dog 

Artey. 

A greyhound wasn’t his first 

choice of breed, but he found they 

were a good fit for his townhouse. 

Kieran adopted Artey four years 

ago, while still living in Auckland, 

through adoption agency Greyhounds 

as Pets. 

Doyle said Artey “wasn’t a 

particularly great racer, but he has 

become a fantastic pet”. 

“They do like their little runs, 

but they’re mostly just couch 

shadows,” said Doyle. 

Suzie Kerr, owner of greyhounds 

Bud and Rosie, was drawn 

to the breed after dog-sitting a few. 

Kerr is also fostering another 

greyhound, Harper. 

She said her family couldn’t just 

look after a greyhound, as they 

would miss it too much when it 

left. 

The loving, gentle nature of 

the breed is what endears Kerr to 

greyhounds the most – and the 

way they curl up on the couch 

with her after a long week at work. 

“It was the best decision we ever 

made to get a greyhound. I pretty 

much think we have a life of greyhounds 

ahead of us.” 

For those looking to adopt one, 

Kerr says to “just get one, don’t 

wait any longer”. 

For Faye Barnes, the dogs’ 

GLOBAL WALK: 

Christchurch greyhound 

owners and their dogs took 

to Hagley Park to promote 

how good greyhounds are 

as pets.

Right – Phoebe also took 

part in the walk.

elegance and clean nature drew 

her to the breed. Gold Star Jojo 

is her first greyhound, and in 

a month she will be getting a 

second. 

Like Barnes, Deborah Callahan 

is a first-time greyhound 

owner and took part in the walk 

with her dog Phoebe. 

She said Phoebe was “probably 

be the easiest dog I’ve ever had”. 

She said greyhounds are a breed 

that requires little stimulation or 

exercise. 

“They are the biggest goofs, but 

also really graceful.”

RISING STAR: Motorsport driver Louis Sharp, 17, won the GB3 championship 

title at the weekend. 

Young driver repeats 

Ayrton Senna’s feat 

• By Daniel Alvey 

CHRISTCHURCH teenager Louis Sharp 

has secured a key victory on his road to 

Formula 1. 

The rising motorsport star won the 2024 

GB3 Championship title at the weekend. 

The GB3 rookie secured five wins across 

the season with the final victory coming 

in race two of three at the Brands Hatch 

Circuit near London. 

A 10th place in the reverse grid race 

three secured the title for Sharp. 

The 17-year-old said he was “so grateful 

to be in this position”. 

“I don’t think very many people go 

F4 and then the next year win the GB3 

championship, so I’m very lucky and very 

happy. 

“I’ve got to give a big thank you to the 

whole team – my dad, who’s been over 

here with me the whole step of the way. 

My success is down to him and my family 

and friends, not only in New Zealand but 

the UK as well.” 

Sharp has won back-to-back junior 

formula championships, having claimed 

the British F4 series last year. 

He joins Brazilian Ayrton Senna, who 

achieved the feat in the 1980s, and went 

on to win three F1 world titles. 

As a result of winning the GB3 title, 

Sharp has secured a test drive in an FIA 

F3 car, the logical next step. 

Despite the test he is yet to reveal what 

his plans will be for next year. 

“I can’t give too many secrets away just 

yet, but we’ll be moving on from GB3 and 

taking that next step up, so we’ll just have 

to see what it is.” 

Last week, Sharp was named as one 

of four finalists in the Autosport BRDC 

Young Driver of the Year award. The 

winner will earn a test in an Aston Martin 

F1 car. 

Sharp also won the Jack Cavill 

Pole Position Cup, and his team 

Rodin Motorsport took out the teams 

championship title.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

Gladys Boyd’s unflagging service 

• By Liz Grant 

THEY SIT MODESTLY at the 

corner of Winchester and Oxford 

Sts in Ōhinehou Lyttelton. But 

the four red brick cottages, built 

in 1965, add to much-needed 

social housing for the town’s 

residents. 

‘Boyd Cottages’ proclaims a 

blue plaque, honouring local 

woman Gladys Ethel Boyd. 

Boyd was born in Lyttelton in 

1898, the daughter of Richard 

and Frances Meyrick (née 

Loader). She went to Lyttelton 

District High School and lived in 

Lyttelton all her life. 

In 1916, when she was 18-yearsold, 

she married Donald John 

Boyd (1881-1962), who had come 

to New Zealand from Scotland 

and worked at the port. They 

lived at 44 Cornwall Rd. 

Throughout her married life, 

Boyd volunteered much of 

her time working for the community, 

in Lyttelton and in 

Christchurch. 

DEDICATION: Boyd Cottages are named after the tireless Gladys Ethel Boyd. 

In 1947, she and Mrs J.A 

Gilmore were the first women to 

be elected as Lyttelton borough 

councillors. 

Boyd was a member of the 

council for 18 years and consistently 

got a high number of votes 

in elections. 

In the election of 1959, both she 

and her husband Donald stood as 

candidates. Boyd got elected with 

753 votes, but Donald, with 514, 

missed out on a place because 

there were only nine vacancies 

that year. 

Boyd became chair of the 

council’s health and sanitation 

committee and the traffic committee. 

She was also the council’s 

representative on the allocation 

committee for state housing, and 

on the patriotic committee. 

Women’s Patriotic Associations 

were formed during WW1 and 

continued during WW2. Their 

primary focus was to provide 

parcels for soldiers, containing 

clothing, food and tobacco. 

Thousands of women throughout 

the country were involved. 

Gladys did not stop there. 

She was a member of the North 

Canterbury Hospital Board 

for 12 years, representing the 

combined district of the County 

of Heathcote and the Borough 

of Lyttelton. She served on its 

benevolent, building, and public 

health committees. 

Boyd was 68 when she died on 

December 6, 1966. 

As a mark of respect, the 

Lyttelton Borough Council’s flag 

was flown at half mast. 

Her obituary, published the 

next day in The Press, cited the 

many other organisations she 

was involved in: 

• Save the Children Fund 

• Lyttelton sub-centre of St 

John 

• New Zealand Child Health 

Council 

• Urban Fire Council 

• Rāpaki Women’s Welfare 

League 

• Canterbury School 

Committee Association (of which 

she was president for a term). 

To top it off, Boyd also served 

as a Justice of the Peace for 

12 years. 

Celebrating 30 Years 

of the Curtain Bank 

This was a celebration that saw a 

community come together to 

acknowledge all those who had a 

vision 30 years ago to establish the 

Curtain Bank for families across 

Canterbury and the West Coast. 

Guests arrived to share memories and 

to appreciate all those who have 

worked tirelessly to warm the hearts 

and homes of families in need. 

Speeches were made, Long Service 

Certificates were awarded to volunteers 

and employees for many years of 

loyalty to a wonderful cause. Afternoon 

tea was enjoyed with a celebratory cake 

shared amongst the guests. 

Les Norris, Gayle Katene, Ian 

McChesney, Jenny Small, Delle 

Small and Lachlan Knighton. 

Distinguished guests were Delle 

Small and Ian McChesney the 

creators of the Curtain Bank, both 

were instrumental in the growth, 

along with Delle’s daughter, Jenny 

Small as CEO. As a Member of 

EECA’s Advisory Group, CEA 

helped to establish the original 

Energy Saver Fund in 1995. Since 

then, CEA has successfully received 

funding to support a range of 

Community Projects. We continue 

to be enormously grateful for the 

work of these visionaries. 

We welcomed representatives from 

Les Norris, Gayle Katene, Ian McChesney, Jenny Small, Delle Small & Lachlan Knighton 

Community Energy Action - Curtain Bank 

our Partners at Orion, Meridian, City 

Mission and Lachlan Knighton from 

our Board of Trustees. 

CEA knows that insulation is a priority 

and so are curtains which reduce heat 

loss from windows and add colour 

and cosiness. The Curtain Bank 

became a success story and is still 

going strong to this day. In the first six 

months of 2024 they have provided 

curtains to 340 homes across Canterbury 

and the West Coast. 

The Curtain Bank Coordinator, 

Gayle Katene has been there for 20 

years and spoke about how it has only 

survived all this time by relying on the 

generosity of Volunteers who have 

turned up every day, bringing with 

them their sewing skills, patience and 

kindness while they work with families 

to create the warmth they deserve. 

The Curtain Bank relies on donations 

from the public, so if you are spring

The Boyd Cottages were damaged in the 

February 22, 2011 earthquakes but were 

able to be repaired. 

On June 15, 2012, they were rededicated 

by Ruth Dyson, who for many years was 

the MP for Banks Peninsula. 

Not long after, speaking in Parliament 

on the centenary of New Zealand 

women winning the right to stand for 

Parliament in 1919 (26 years after women 

got the vote), Dyson had an amusing story 

to tell. 

Gladys and Donald had six children – 

four daughters (one died at the age of 18) 

and two sons – so there was a lot going on 

at Cornwall Rd. 

Dyson recounted: “At the reopening 

ceremony for (the cottages) recently, 

after their post-quake repairs were 

completed, a family member told a story 

of Gladys’ husband walking back from 

the waterfront where he worked, and his 

mate yelled out from across the road: ‘So 

where’s Gladys tonight?’ And he said, ‘I 

don’t know. She’s on every board except 

the blimmin’ ironing board’.”

Stylish Yaris Cross brings green credentials 

TOYOTA’S decision to create 

an SUV version of its smallest 

car, the Yaris, has been a master 

stroke, although naming it the 

‘Cross’ less so, although even 

that hasn’t stopped it becoming 

one of the company’s best selling 

small vehicles. 

Despite being around for more 

than three years and our new car 

market moving down through 

the gears as demand slows in 

response to tighter economic 

times, buyers still face wait 

times. 

The Yaris Cross shares 

the same well-proven and 

engineered chassis, suspension 

and powertrains from the 

fourth generation Yaris. The 

end result is a highly competent, 

functional, stylish and packed 

with a full suite of safety and 

driver assist technologies. 

Practicality, more room and 

style make even its higher price a 

more desirable vehicle for many 

compared to the diminutive fivedoor 

Yaris. 

There is a sizeable difference 

between the Yaris hatch and its 

new Cross sibling. Overall, it’s 

240mm longer has 50mm more 

front overhang and a whopping 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

180mm at the rear. It has an 

additional extra 30mm worth 

of ground clearance and stands 

90mm taller, enabling the Yaris 

Cross to stand tall in the mini 

urban SUV class. 

Since its launch nearly four 

years ago, the Yaris Cross has 

morphed into a three strong 

petrol-hybrid only range and 

inline with all Toyota NZ 

passenger vehicles that are 

now low emission and low fuel 

consumption hybrids. 

The hybrid powertrain is 

a cut-and-paste job from the 

original Yaris, pairing a 1.5-litre 

naturally aspirated threecylinder 

petrol motor and petrol 

electric hybrid system. 

First step on the Yaris Cross 

ladder is the $38,990 GX. From 

there it’s a sizeable monetary 

leap to the $45,190 GR Sport, 

and a more modest $1k jump 

into the flagship Limited. You 

can personalise for a further $1k 

with a nifty two-tone paint job. 

If you’re serious about 

reducing you carbon footprint 

by driving something cleaner 

and greener, the distinctive 

Yaris Cross makes a compelling 

case with super low CO2 engine 

emissions of just 76g/km. 

The 1.5-litre three-cylinder 

petrol electric hybrid system 

has a combined power output 

of 85kW. In urban motoring 

the hybrid has amazingly low 

engine noise levels. The cabin 

becomes a cone of silence when 

the hybrid system is running in 

electric-only mode, something 

it regularly does for extended 

periods on billiard table flat 

urban roads. 

It moves seamlessly between 

its double life of petrol and 

electric and back again, a credit 

to an advanced and effective 

lithium-ion battery and electric 

motor set-up. 

I noticed the petrol engine 

component of the hybrid 

sounded busy with its threecylinder 

thrum to the fore when 

a bit of hard graft is needed on 

steeper hills. 

City driving is very much the 

happy place for this fashionable 

mini-sized SUV and what it 

was designed for. Going beyond 

the urban limits nudges it and 

the driver ever-so slightly out 

of their comfort zones. Longer 

open road trips are doable and 

the test vehicle was comfortable 

enough on a 200km roadie. 

A direct shift CVT (continuously 

variable transmission) is 

purpose-built to deliver on 

its claimed 3.5L/100km fuel 

economy. 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 6; Build Quality 

7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for 

money: 5; Safety – Five star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7 

The cabin has a sophisticated 

and comfortable feel, with the 

Yaris Cross the first compact 

SUV from Toyota to feature 

a 40/20/40 split rear seat. The 

390-litre luggage capacity is good 

but not class-leading. Folding 

down the centre rear seat means 

skis can be stowed comfortably. 

The Limited features a smart 

key, powered rear door with 

‘kick sensor’ for easy loading and 

unloading of the weekly grocery 

shop. 

The seating has a nice 

upmarket look and feel, and 

so it should given it $45k plus 

price sticker, featuring premium 

tweed-like fabric inserts and 

synthetic leather. 

The leathery look extends to 

the steering wheel and gear lever 

knob. The Limited has a colour 

head-up display and satellite 

navigation with SUNA Traffic 

Channel, rear privacy glass and 

an additional USB charging port. 

While larger than the Yaris 

hatch, the cabin still feels snug 

and taller back seat passengers 

will lament the lack of rear 

legroom as they rest their chin 

on their knees. This is tolerable 

for short around town trips, 

which to be fair is vehicle is built 

for, but not a fun place for the 

longer legged on journeys of 

longer duration. 

This is another Toyota model 

that benefits from the company’s 

acclaimed Safety Sense systems 

and advanced driver assistance 

functions. 

These help drivers avoid a 

wide range of common crash 

risks using driver information, 

early warnings, and if needed, 

automatic braking and steering 

intervention. 

Standard is a Pre-Collision 

System with autonomous 

emergency braking, blind spot 

monitor, lane tracing assist, 

all-speed dynamic radar cruise 

control, eight airbags, and 

automatic high-beam on and 

off, plus a reversing camera 

with dynamic guidelines, 

with the Limited spec adding 

a panoramic view monitor 

providing a surround view of the 

vehicle. 

Like its smaller hatch sibling, 

the Cross has the same excellent 

design qualities, where everything 

works as one to meet the needs of 

both the driver and passengers. 

The ride and handling 

exemplifies this, proving neat, 

tidy and hardly putting a foot 

out of place. The suspension is 

balanced and nimble and when 

its mettle is tested over twisty 

terrain. 

Its extra height and ground 

clearance means more body roll 

if you quicken the pace through 

tight corners, and is an area 

where the lower-slung hatch has 

an edge. 

The steering could do with 

more road feel, although the 

weighting is right on-point, 

making both test vehicles easy to 

park in even the most confined 

parking spaces.
