Awa Rākau Tour

You'll see rākau marking our town's stream network. In this tour we will dip into some of the stories connected to our awa presented by local experts, historians, scientists, and community members. We hope that the information will help you understand the significance of these awa and how they have shaped our landscape.

These rākau are spread out across the urban catchment so we recommend visiting them by car or on a bike unless you feel like a good walk. You can also take this tour virtually from the comfort of your couch and scroll through the stops on your phone.
