Who is the mystery author of The Rimu Bushman?

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm today

We're kicking off the show today with a mystery that we need your help to solve.

For years Ron Mitchell played in a three-piece band. A decade ago, a man came up to him after the show and gave him a poem titled "The Rimu Bushman"

Ron never saw the man again, but now he's used the poem for the lyrics of a song and he's on a quest to track him down.

This is an image of the original poem Ron was given. It's typed out and in the bottom right hand corner there is an image of a tree stump with an axe stuck in the top of it.
