My bridge walk (in progress)

Last Friday we went on a heritage trail walk with matua Damon and we walked around the two bridges first we made a stop a the cafe and matua talked with us about the history of gisborne and he told us about a Maori chief called Ruapane and how two men were not being nice to others so Ruapane because of how high he was (not tall, in power), he ordered for both of their heads to be decapitated witch means their heads being cut of, witch is where the word Whataupoko comes from.

He also told us the names of the three rivers witch was: 1. Turanga(nui a kiwa), 2. Waimata, 3. taraheru also known as golden moss.

As we were walking we came to another stop where the statue of wal' and dog (now outside the gisborne memorial library and there also was another statue witch showed the meaning of evolution.

We walked to the bridge and we made a stop their and talked again 

The next stop was at a sign telling us about the old times when their was no cars and no roads and the bridge was just being made.
