Today in New Zealand history, 10 June, 1886, Mt Tarawera exploded. Along with killing 150 people or more it either bulldozed or buried numerous settlements and villages along with the world famous Pink and White Terraces.
In AHNZ podcast episode 6 we visit the Ghost Waka warning of the event, an eye-witness account on the radio in the 1950s, and the Anarchist charge against the government for abandoning the victims.
