Country Life for Friday 10 November 2023

From Country Life, 7:07 pm on 10 November 2023

Country Life meets 89-year-old Fraser Ross, who has been lovingly restoring a podocarp forest remnant for nearly 50 years. Arowhenua Bush near Temuka was damaged after a severe northwesterly gale struck the district in 1975.

We also take a walk through an olive grove on the bank of the Kerikeri River and we discover the story of Molly Mabel in a shop in Hunterville.
