North Coromandel and Barrier
Marcus drives the length of Great Barrier and the Coromandel - hoping to find a place to party for New Years. But first he has to extract tea tree oil with a tricky local on the Barrier, go back to the hot pools and climb the pinnacles before he finally finds nirvana with the hippies.
This 10 episode series will see Marcus Lush traverse the North Island from Auckland to the Far North and Cape Reinga, visiting the Islands of the Gulf, and telling the stories of the great harbours of the Manukau, Hokianga, Kaipara and the Waitemata. In many cases he will be taking the road less travelled, via sand-barge, cement ship, on horseback or small local fishing vessels. To tell these stories Marcus will seek grass-roots characters, real people of the land. This is a series where New Zealanders tell the tales of what's gone before, tell their own personal stories, and share with the rest of the country their love and passion for the area they call home.
