WAIMARAMA HISTORY TOUR SUNDAY 21 APRIL 2013

historic_places_hawkes_bay_logoHere is an opportunity to catch up with the history of Waimarama.  The tour will be led by local resident and kaumatua, Robert MacDonald who will meet us in Havelock North.  We will visit various historic sites around Waimarama followed by lunch at Jarks Café (price included).

After lunch we will explore the scenic Hakikino Conservation Reserve.  Hakikino is the 15th century ancestral site occupied by the ancestors of the Waimarama Maori people.  We will traverse the archaeological remains of the ancient village, and visit protected wetlands sheltering native eels.  Robert will also acquaint us with local Maori myths, legends and custom.

We are fortunate to have this tour tailored for our organisation which will make it significantly cheaper than tours offered to the general public. (more…)
