"We journey to Gisborne today, on the east coast of the island. Leaving the lake district, we head towards the ocean. Here we will have a picnic lunch before jourâ€" neying on through the Waioeka Gorge, set in native bush and winding beside us, one of my favorite rivers. Afternoon tea is a must here. Out onto high country, sheep, cattle and deer farms descend slowly onto rolling hills and down to alluvial flatland richâ€" ly planted with orchards, vineâ€" yards and export crops. Finally to the ocean once again. Reaching Gisborne in time for a traditional Maori welcome, followed by an authentic feast and evening with out Maori hosts."

You have a chance to see their native land through their eyes," explains Duncan Fortier, who founded Hatley Smith with partner Laura Smith.
