Bay of Islands, Northland. April 2009. Ajr I came upon this canoe quite unexpectedly when I was looking for Keretu Marae down a side road on my way to Paihia. I've been unable to find out anything about it. It sits on a patch of grass above a marshly river bank edged with thick rushes and mangroves not far from the marae, a large, hilltop burial ground and a cute little primary school further down the road.
