The famous explorer James Cook is in a reflective mood 250 years after his death. Join him for a walking tour of significant historical sites (seen and unseen) around Wellington or Auckland. This contemporary reflection has Cook ‘thinking again’ about his contribution to Aotearoa, and the long tail of his colonial legacy.

We all loved it”
