Te Araroa: Tales from the Trails Southland
Dramatic weather at the tail end of New Zealand sets a striking canvas for Pio's final trek from Colac Bay to Bluff. He meets a floundering Brit, goes to battle with a teenage girl, and feasts on the local delicacy, muttonbird (or titi), before taking shelter from gail-force winds at the Bluff Oyster Festival.
Te Araroa: Tales from the Trails is a fresh look at Aotearoa by foot, allowing Pio Terei to connect with the people and local histories in a very real way. All the while, the unspoilt landscapes hark back to a time when Maori and Pakeha explorers first encountered this land.
