Jackson在拍摄《金刚》
新西兰著名电影导演、制作人、《魔戒》之父Peter Jackson爵士，曾于去年和夫人Fran Walsh女爵购买了该半岛的一块沿海土地（Shelly Bay）。
他们的主要目的是阻止一项耗资5亿纽币的住房开发项目，恢复这里的自然美景，最好能在半岛的其他地方建立保护区。

然而，事情的进展似乎并不顺利。
Jackson导演在该半岛拥有住宅，有时可以看到他在海岸边散步。他还曾经考虑过在这里建立一个电影博物馆，但这个想法在几年前就落空了。

A humanoid robot went head-to-head with a former tennis champion in what was billed as the world's first human-robot tennis singles match, showcasing its ability to move, return shots and even recover from a fall during a high-intensity rally. The match took place on Saturday as the second World Humanoid Robot Sports Games got underway. On one side of the net was Chinese tennis star Zheng Jie; on the other was a humanoid robot developed by Galbot. The event kicked off with an entertaining mixed doubles match, in which the robot Xingzai impressed audiences with its nimble movement. It quickly moved forward and backward as needed and worked seamlessly with its human partner, with the pair adopting a complementary front-and-back formation against their opponents. The spotlight then turned to the singles match between Zheng and the humanoid robot. The robot held its own in rallies, trading both forehand and backhand shots with Zheng. When Zheng raised the difficulty by sending over a high, looping ball, the robot was pushed from side to side and eventually lost its balance, landing flat on its back. But it quickly recovered, adjusting its posture and getting back on its feet within seconds. The robot also showed a surprising ability to read Zheng's slices and spin. When Zheng began moving it deliberately from side to side and from front to back, the robot responded with an impressive lunge that drew cheers from the crowd. Throughout the match, the robot performed actions including bending its knees, tossing the ball and rotating its body entirely on its own. The robot's serves surpassed 100 kilometers per hour, leaving it only fractions of a second to react, yet it rarely faltered under the pressure. AlphaGo defeated South Korean Go champion Lee Sedol 10 years ago, demonstrating the power of AI in the digital realm. A decade later, a Chinese humanoid robot is stepping onto the court alongside an elite tennis player. If AlphaGo showed that AI could master the digital world, the tennis match offered a glimpse of how AI-powered robots are beginning to withstand the demands of the physical world, experts said. For the first time, AI was no longer confined to code. The robot ran, swung its racket, competed in real-time — and even picked itself up after falling, before carrying on with the match. 。
据悉，Jackson的很多电影场景都是在Shelly Bay拍摄的。在拍摄2005年的电影《金刚》时，片方曾在该半岛的梅西纪念堂（Massey Memorial）上方建造了一个大型的“骷髅岛”。
据英文《先驱报》报道，2011年，新西兰政府曾宣布在该半岛新建76公顷的保护区。然而，十多年过去了，这一承诺仍未实现。
这里拥有几个历史遗迹，曾是新西兰国防军的军事炮位和二战时期的弹药杂志所在地，有一战遗址，还有一座堡垒（Fort Ballance）。这里也与早期的欧洲殖民有关。该土地对毛利部落也具有重要的文化意义。同时，这里很受居民欢迎，有漂亮的步道和花园，还有一个小型农场，经常接待学校参观团。
