Wanganui River Retreat

I joined Annette & John at the Flying Fox for a few days on my travels, a remarkable retreat on the Wanganui river accessible only by a cable car. The couple have built a number of beautiful private dwellings on the property, established a flourishing organic garden and sustainable energy and composting system, and in general have created an idyllic setting for relaxation, a model for sustainable living, and and appreciation of the Whanganui River.
