Show Notes
On episode 8, “The Best Backyard in the World (?!)”, is it a rhetorical question ? You bet your fever symptoms it is ! I am joined my mum and dad briefly to talk about some of the different things to think about for getting in and out of the access points and how logistics at times can be a little tricky. Allen also joins me for some Knob of the Week chat addressing one of the knobs that I have in fact been to (I am worried these will be limited). I am then joined by Celia Wade-Brown, t...

Welcome back to another episode of Tararua Fever — the podcast about tramping and the Tararua Ranges.

We then sit down for a yarn with Pi from the New Orleans-style band, The Crashbandihoots, talking about their recent escapade, bush doofs at Powell Hut, and what it takes to clamber up wi...
This episode we're doing something a little different and venturing beyond the boundaries of the Tararua Ranges. We're joined by returning guest Jonty Crane from The Tramping Life podcast to chat about his recent crossing of the rugged Aorangi Range. We hear what makes the range so unique, how it compares to the Tararua Ranges, and why this wild corner of the lower North Island deserves a spot on every tramper's bucket list. Then in Walk N' Talk, we turn our attention back to the Tararua Rang...
Fresh out of the Scroggin bag, we're back with another bonus episode of Tararua Fever (thanks for waiting)! This time around, we chat about the recent burst of winter weather across the ranges, the upcoming Hut Keeper film, a rescue on the Waiopehu Track, and a few interesting discussions from the Tararua Forum, including North Mangahao Biv and Punga Hut. It's also our pleasure to welcome regular listener Rex to the podcast. He joins us to chat about a memorable mission to Maungahuka Hut vi...
