Filmmaker Paul Janman and historian Scott Hamilton are currently walking the length of Great South Road from the edge of King Country to the middle of Auckland. The trip will be around 200km and should take ten days. They'll document the journey online and through film, meeting up with artists, historians, and locals in the hope of gathering stories for their project: Fragments of the Great South Road.
Lynn Freeman spoke to Paul and Scott in Tokanui before they set off.
