ZEADUSA IM.POSSIBLE
RENA — 15 YEARS ON
MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS?
On 5 October 2011, Rena struck Ōtāiti/Astrolabe Reef at full speed.
This was no unknown hazard.
1827 — Astrolabe: close encounter.
1828 — Herald: close encounter.
1878 — Nellie: struck the reef.
2011 — Rena: struck the reef.
Rena's planned passage already accounted for the danger: 2 nautical miles clear of the reef.
But while trying to make the 03:00 Tauranga pilot window, that planned clearance was reduced to 1 nautical mile.
Then came a series of course alterations, inadequate allowance for the ship's actual movement, a breakdown in position monitoring during the watch handover—and at 02:14, Rena hit the reef.
So fifteen years later, ZEADUSA asks a very simple question:
How much distance—and how many minutes—was that shortcut actually intended to save?
Because before judging the decision, that number deserves to be put beside what was surrendered:
Half the planned clearance around a charted reef.
The grounding led to roughly 200 tonnes of heavy fuel oil entering the sea, lost containers, major environmental damage and a ship ultimately broken in two.
This isn't an accusation of conspiracy.
It is an audit of proportionality.
TIME SAVED vs MARGIN SURRENDERED vs CONSEQUENCE.
If the evidence explains it, accept the explanation.
If the numbers raise another question, measure again.
OBSERVE → TEST → PROVE → SCALE → PROTECT
Better evidence → better questions.
Order over chaos. Always.

ZEADUSA IM.POSSIBLE
FROM A SMALL MOTEL TO 29 MILLION VIEWS
We started with something very simple.
A family motel and holiday park in Tokaanu.
Real geothermal water coming from beneath our feet.
Real guests. Real work. Real New Zealand.
Somewhere along the journey, we started asking bigger questions.
We looked at earthquakes, geology, ancient structures, modern megastructures, the Great Pyramid, Rapa Nui, Stonehenge, Manhattan and even the International Space Station.
Those questions eventually became ZEADUSA IM.POSSIBLE — HUMAN BUILD INDEX:
100 NODES.
1.8 BILLION TONNES.
ONE QUESTION.
And meanwhile this little motel account kept growing.

29 MILLION VIEWS.
2 MILLION LIKES.
37,000+ PEOPLE FOLLOWING THE JOURNEY.
Are two million likes more than every other motel around Lake Taupō combined?
Maybe. 😄
But unless somebody audits every account, we're calling that exactly what it is:
an entertaining assumption — not a measured fact.
Because that's what this entire journey has taught us.
Curiosity is free.
Questions are encouraged.
Assumptions are allowed.
But evidence gets the final word.
To every person who stopped scrolling, looked at one of our strange plates, challenged something, corrected something, shared something or simply hit ❤️:
THANK YOU.
From geothermal pools in tiny Tokaanu to a book examining human achievement across the planet.
Same curiosity.
Bigger questions.
ZEADUSA IM.POSSIBLE — HUMAN BUILD INDEX
11.11.26 Then comes the release of 99 months in keaky motel that is ...
ORDER OVER CHAOS — ALWAYS AND ETERNALLY. 🙏❤️💙💜

TOKAANU TU TRAVERTINE/ TUFA 🌋⚡
Funny thing about old scientific papers: sometimes they sit quietly for decades waiting for somebody to put them on the same map.
Published geochemistry describes high-temperature deep geothermal fluids beneath the Tokaanu–Waihi system. Published resistivity work maps a low-resistivity geothermal structure and proposes deep ascent toward the Kakaramea–Tihia sector followed by migration toward Lake Taupō.
So we bounced the two datasets together and asked a simple engineering question:
What would a 30 kW pilot and a 90 kW platform look like if you designed the investigation around the geology rather than choosing a convenient drilling spot?
The result is the concept shown here: a smaller low-ground pilot investigation around already-modified infrastructure, and a larger up-gradient resource test toward the inferred deep-upflow region.
Important guardrail: those are exploration concepts—not proven production sites. Before anybody reaches for a drill rig, the sequence is resistivity → temperature gradient → chemistry → permeability/flow → reinjection → environmental and cultural assessment → consenting → engineering validation.
Only when the measurements survive that gauntlet does POSSIBLE become PROVEN.
And perhaps the most important line on the entire plate:
“THE MAP DOESN’T SAY WHERE TO DRILL. IT SAYS WHERE TO MEASURE NEXT.”
Amazing what can happen when two old papers finally get introduced to each other. 😉
OBSERVE → TEST → PROVE → SCALE → PROTECT

Who do you think you are ?, do this, do that ,stop this , put that down .How about go jump in the lake :) nicely though thanks to sponsors hope its a huge success take your phones use them how you see fit

🧘‍♂️ Turn off the TV, stop the doomscrolling and head outside for a free activity!

It’s time to reconnect.

Digital Detox Day this weekend offers over a dozen free activities for the whole family. From half an hour to a few hours, local amazing community groups have come up with something for you.

🌳 Riverside Park – try volleyball, a community colour run, games or listen to the Taupō Concert Band.
🚴🏼‍♀️ Spa Park – try the dirt jumps, junior disc golf or check a trapline.
🔇 Visit Taupō Museum or Library and relax in a device-free zone or enjoy a self-paced activity.

Find out about all the activities, when and where,at https://creativetaupo.org.nz/digital-detox-day-calendar/

Some have age restrictions or requirements, so check in advance.

Huge thanks to Creative Taupō, Anamata Youth One Stop Shop, Predator Free Taupo, Bike Taupō and Sport Waikato for bringing this together.

🧩 Put down the phone and give yourself time off this weekend to live, laugh and enjoy our district.

UNIQUE ATTRACTIONS OF SH41 — “STEAMING WINDOW” 👀😂

With all the recent discussion about AI — Artificial Intelligence, we thought it only fair to give HI — Human Intelligence a little field test.

From 1–6 October, SH1 between Tūrangi and Motuoapa is closing, sending traffic around the western detour.

So while you're enjoying the scenic route, SH41 has thoughtfully supplied its own roadside entertainment.

No subscription.
No algorithm.
No augmented reality headset.

Just an actual hillside steaming in front of you. 😂🌋

Welcome to the Hipaua Steaming Cliffs, where geothermal steam rises through the native bush above southern Lake Taupō.

And because Mother Nature apparently has a sense of humour, the roadside even comes with a:

⚠️ WARNING — LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREA ⚠️

Consider that the terms and conditions. 😂

There is a lookout where you can stop and take in this remarkable landscape.

Please stay in the safety of the lookout.
The photograph is free.
The fumaroles are real.
And climbing the cliffs to improve your camera angle is definitely not part of the ZEADUSA research protocol. 🤣

Sometimes HI doesn't need to solve a complicated equation.

Sometimes it just needs to read the bloody sign. 👀😂

📐 MEASURE. OBSERVE. RESPECT.

ORDER OVER CHAOS — ALWAYS. 🌏❤️💙💜
