Journey back in time
It is our intention to make a run to Stanley Landing in January. This will be the first time a vessal this size has been up to the landing for many years.
Stanley Landing is the old Firth wharf, this is a very historical area. Mr Firth built a Flour mill on the banks of the Waihou river, and was responable for the early clearing of the river to enable his boat ‘Kotuku’ to carry stores and services to Auckland and farming materials back down river.
Otunui will make a regular run to the landing from Te Aroha and return.
On this particular trip it is possible that the boat will have to work its self up 2 rapids, as they used to on the Wanganui River. |
