Ferrymead Historic Park

Christchurch

Year round

Inspired by the railway line installed in 1863, Ferrymead Park is an historic staple of Canterbury today – a place where history comes alive.

The Park features an early 1900s (Edwardian) township and has a variety of restored cottages plus a school house, church and businesses which reflect the period. Visitors can experience life for early residents of Christchurch including the smell of a coal range and the sounds of a tram rattling past the door.

Rongoa Maori

Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Northland

A series of practical workshops for rongoa Maori - Traditional Maori Medicine. Workshops are taught in the bush in a supportive and encouraging environment for both Maori and non-Maori participants. All workshops are run over a weekend and are held in the ngahere (bush). The aim is to teach people how to identify the plants used for rongoa, where to find them, and how to collect them and the tikanga (customs) that must be followed.
