Great and notorious journeys through Aotearoa

From Afternoons, 1:37 pm on 8 October 2018

New Zealand's history is full of interesting and risque journeys - from John Whitcombe's doomed quest through the Southern Alps, to Te Puoho's raiding parties along the West Coast, to George Wilder's illicit visits to other people's holiday homes in the 1960s.

Journalist and writer Bruce Ansley has retraced some of these journeys for his tenth book, Wild Journeys, which goes on sale this month.
