Absolutely! I’m South Island based, but up there twice a year for the last 8 years. We lose mobile coverage once we are descending on the north side of the hill heading up the river from town. We stay at a farm and Marae owned by the local river people iwi. We hang out between there and Jeresulem further north. Hope your family and friends did ok in the floods. Pretty crazy seeing it here, already shared it and the river folks I’ve been able to reach are really chuffed with the article.
