down, the toll on Aramoana was high: 13 people, including four
children, lost their lives on that day. And it is to them, and to the
survivors, that Out of the Blue is dedicated.
Aramoana was a place I felt passionately about, a place that I had
meaningful personal connection to. For me it was a site where a part
of "Eden fell"; where we first cooked baked beans over an open fire,
Aramoana was a place I knew well, a place where in the late 1960s I
learnt to surf in a fun- filled adolescence, a place where the chill
of the south wind coaxed the sun-sparkled swells with a whispering
As with Aramoana, the Clutha river was also a place of family
nostalgia, a place belonged to Cromwell, at the meeting of the Clutha

Eventually, the protest against the smelter at Aramoana was
successful, the proposal became less an less viable and eventually

Aramoana, New Zealand, had me on the edge of my seat.
The basic gist of the story: One day, seemingly out of nowhere, David
Gray, who was born and raised in Aramoana and had known the people
Sarkies, who grew up in a town near Aramoana and was there at the time
of the massacre, was directed with great care to be respectful to the

a word that will always be associated in infamy with the David Gray
shootings.
