Kennedy talks about the Hukerenui settler museum, one of New Zealand's many early settler museums
Jack Morgan, a local dairy farmer, started collecting memorabilia in his sixties and the museum that houses his collection (and bears his name) is now a repository of everything from a 1950s dental clinic to a classic Kiwi wash house along with a magnificent collection of carved kauri gum - among the bizarre items, a kauri gum Christmas cake.
He also talks about out of control kina, or sea urchin, populations in Northland and the East Coast that are resulting in a demise of kelp. Many experts are blaming a reduction in crayfish numbers that keep the kina population in check.
