Regional Wrap on the Waikanae River

From Culture 101, 1:25 pm on 27 July 2025

This week for our Regional Wrap on Culture 101 we visit the beautiful Waikanae River on the Kāpiti Coast, and the settlements on its banks of Waikanae and Otaihanga.

These are two of the locations for a brand new book festival being held on the 9th and 10th of August called Bookmark Kāpiti.

We're joined on the line by its founder in Waikanae Kirsten La Harivel, a writer and producer who works at Waikanae's Mahara Gallery.
