Auckland Libraries

In this track we hear from life long Waiheke resident Colin Gordon talking with Waiheke based librarian Julia Mount. Originally recorded for the 2020 Waiheke Walking Festival, Colin shares the story of how he built 'Gordon's Road' in the 1950s in order to get his kids to school, thereby bringing road access to the otherwise remote Whakanewha Rocky Bay area.
