More than a year after giving her initial cultural induction to site staff, Robin Taua-Gordon was back with son Tyler Taua-Gordon, sharing iwi connections and sites of significance with new workers starting at the Bridge Avenue site.

The real prize of course would be the discovery of a waka, such as the waka discovered north of Auckland six years ago. Ka tino rawe tēra!
