HITTING THE ROAD
While the team didn’t spend much time on
the river they did plenty of walking, along the
Whanganui River Road, and following the trail
from Bulls to Woodville, where they discovered
great spirit and aroha on the way. The community
came out and greeted them, fully supported
them and various people joined them
on their journey. Memorably this included Iwi
Police Vinnie Heihei, who now fully supports
TAOH and Ahuriri Pilot City Trust kaupapa —
Build Communities not Prisons.
