The 5th Great Ōtākaro-Avon River Walk - 25 September 2016
Nominated for Best Community Access Programme for 2017's NZ Radio Awards, this show by the Plains FM Eastern Rising team follows community leader and river guide Mark Gibson, as he takes walkers from Millbrook Reserve, near the spring of Christchurch's iconic, though heavily quake-damaged Ōtākaro-Avon River, all the way out to the estuary at South Brighton Domain - some 22 kms in all.
Despite cool weather a diverse bunch of keen walkers were treated to all-day river views, some fascinating local history, a bit of future-thinking, a heap of education, and a lot of laughs - not to mention a good bit of exercise in nature!
Thanks to all those involved in making the 5th Great Ōtākaro-Avon River Walk so memorable. Below are links to some of the organisations mentioned in the broadcast:
The song which played in the middle of the radio broadcast was Tiki Taane's 'Tangaroa'.
Historic images are from the Christchurch City Libraries archive and the tui and the ruru photgraphs are courtesy of Tony Petricevich.
Eastern Rising's signature theme was written by Christchurch band The Bob Lazar Story.
