| 520 | |a "Heritage can be hard case. The past can be tragic, funny or cringeworthy. In this Taranaki treasure trove, you'll find intriguing stories, colourful characters and precious objects. Here is the story of the Swanndri, a garment born in a concrete trough that became a Kiwi legend. See the first New Zealand made motorbike helmets - safety tested in ovens, pounded by lead weights and designed by an off-beat model maker. Discover the story of a quiet carpenter who became a gun-toting highwayman before being unmasked during a botched hold-up. Witness the tortuous journey of the Pūtikituna waka, which travelled hundreds of kilometres but was never in the water. Relive the dirty punch that ended a boxing 'Battle of the Century'. Wonder at Poutama Whiria, the toki from an ancestral voyaging waka, which rose from the earth after four hundred years, soon after its discovery was foretold in a dream. Showcasing items from the Puke Ariki collections, Flashback casts fresh light on the heritage of the Taranaki region and its people. This is the stuff of real life and history, about which people should hear more."--Publisher's website. | ||
