In 2022 “Waitītiko- From Source to Sea” – a film by Carolyn Sylvester and Andy Farrant was made for local people. The film focusses on communities along the awa/ creek – creatives, whanau, kura, aspects of te taiao/ environment & those who care for the wildlife on the creek.
As part of Auckland Heritage Week, STEPS and Urban Ark have arranged a walk from Ōwairaka/ Mt Albert to Te Tokaroa / Meola Reef. During the walk we will discover the historic infrastructure that underlay the development of Auckland and influenced the fate of Meola Creek.
The walk takes place on two days, Saturday 28th September and Saturday 5th October from 1.00pm until 3.30pm. Rain day for both walks is Saturday 12th October. Along the way experts will speak briefly about the Central Interceptor, daylighting and restoration. Locations are well served by public transport. STEPS can also shuttle car drivers back to the start as needed.
Please join us. Numbers are limited so book your place soon.

Kate McKessar from Whitebait Connection paid the Motat Lava Flow Forest site a visit and searched her way through clumps of oioi and grasses with bravery and enthusiasm. With success! She found inanga eggs in the grasses. We hadn’t realised the breeding area for inanga extended so far towards the sea. It’s encouraging to see this native fauna in this habitat and will influence the species we plant on the riverbank. We’ve also moved some traps closer around the area as rats and mice are partial to inanga caviar.
It’s great to work more closely with other groups who care for the environment, have specialist knowledge and are working region-wide.
Look closely; those little drops are eggsKate finds inanga eggs
