A book found at the Ahu Ahu Ohu abandoned commune on the Slow Flow trip.
On a hike into the Ahu Ahu Ohu, an abandoned commune upriver from Atene on the Whanganui River, this book was found upstairs in the common room of the former community. John Milnes, a former member of the community, advised I take it with me lest it become firewood there. It is now joining my library of wondrous things I am collecting for the Miranda House.
The commune's community building where the book was found.

Hearing the sounds and stories behind many maori instruments made for a magical evening.
Hearing the haunting sounds and stories of the many taonga puoro (musical instruments of maori culture), was a lovely gift from Jerome Kavanagh of Hui-a one still gentle evening at Mangapapapa.
