A chance to explore the history of Warkworth both literally and figuratively is being offered on Sunday October 18 with a Heritage Walkabout and River Cruise.
The morning walk starts from Warkworth iSite at 9.30am and will be led by long-time Warkworth resident and local historian Dave Parker, who will point out a variety of sites of historic interest.
Then, at 11am, it’s all aboard the restored scow Jane Gifford for an optional one-hour river cruise downstream, and the chance to learn about the history of the Mahurangi River and its importance in the establishment and supply of Warkworth as a township.
The Walkabout costs $8 per person, the River Cruise $15, or you can book both for $20. Reservations are required.
Info: Dave Parker on 425 5006 or 027 484 9935.
