TA audio narrative: hiking as conversation
The birds, people, and sound of my feet through water, mud and sand were the hiking conversation.
TA Day 13, Helena Bay to Whananaki – 25 km

TA Day 12, Waikare to Helena Bay – 28 km
The Papakauti stream is the trail through the magical Russell Forest, followed by road to Helena Bay.
