in Whāngarei
Hinemoa Apetera's a good sort - the type you know has a spare pair of steel cap gumboots she'll happily lend.
The 64-year-old's looking forward to her Supergold card next year, and she'll be able to access her KiwiSaver. Her modest dream? To be able to buy something to put on land at Rewarewa D.
It's collectively owned Māori land right in Whāngarei. The 64 hectares are gorse forest and mānuka, hence the need for steel caps.
She's already living here - in a rented cabin with her kurī (dog), Matau.
