Terry has spent the last eight days canoeing on the Whanganui River. A group of 22 mates paddled from Taumaranui to Pipriki, stopping frequently for food and rest. The weather was great for most of the trip and neither Terry nor his brother, both first time canoeists, were tipped out into the river! Here are some photos that he took on his trip. The picture on the top left shows the 'Bridge to Nowhere', a popular tourist attraction in the Whanganui region. At the left of the bottom row, to the left of the camp oven, you can see a thermette or water boiler - a icon of the kiwi culture. Click on the thumbnails to see full screen pictures.
