LOL- Joe ist schon ein schräger Vogel:-)) Ich bin mir nicht so sicher mit der Überlebenschance- Joe und sein Sohn jagen eigentlich Possums. Unsere guide meinte, das würde vermutlich nicht so arg alt werden....
Und Du weißt ja, in NZ ist ein gutes Possum ein totes Possum.
Man o War Bluff was so named because it looked like the bow of one of the old WWI dreadnoughts to the early river settlers. Photo by Mark Ebrey, Blazing Paddles Canoe Adventures.
Autapu Rapid is one of the big three on the last day of the Whanganui River Journey. It is unusual in that it has a long back eddy and kayakers have a lot of fun going through this rapid several times before continuing their journey to Pipiriki about an hour and a half below.

Below John Coull Hut when the river is low. However, this can change dramatically and overnight, because the Whanganui River catchment drains 7500 square kilometres and while there may be no rain at John Coull Hut, it can be raining heavily up in the headwaters. Result - those who do not pull their canoes up high and tie them to something find they are not there in the morning. In the January 1998 flood, DOC tied their jetboat up to the railings of the John Coull Hut. Photo by Mark Ebrey, Blazing Paddles Canoe Adventures.
John Coull Hut is the most popular place to stay on the Whanganui River, serving as the linch pinch pin for one, three, four and five day trips. It is not possible to book a bed in this hut, and DOC operates it on a "first come first served" basis. However, while it nominally sleeps 30, its capacity has been expanded to double that in bad weather. Normally there is a very helpful volunteer warden in residence during the official season from October 1-April 30, and DOC are always looking for more volunteers as hut wardens.

Ramanui Campsite is immediately opposite the Tieke Marae and is a popular choice for canoeists who want to access the licenced bar at the Bridge to Nowhere Lodge just downstream on the same side. Ramanui and the Bridge to Nowhere Lodge are the only places on the river where you can book beds - which can be very welcome when the weather is bad and there are lots of people canoeing on the river.

Towhenua Rapid is the first major test for canoeists doing the one of five day canoe trip from Cherry Grove. It is possible to miss all of the standing waves, but unfortunately many canoeists do not set themselves up right for this rapid, panic, and fall out.

Poukaria Campsite is the most popular overnight spot for canoeists doing the one and five day trips on the Whanganui River. Iy is about six hours downstream from Cherry Grove. Photo by Mark Ebrey, Blazing Paddles Canoe Adventures.
