My Wish

I wish I was better at Reading because so I can read so much words but not making mistakes.

The Great Journey- Kehu and Brunner

 Shared Writing

Kehu and Brunner went on a journey to try to reach Milford sound from Nelson. They had another guide and Kehu and the other guides wife with them. 

They were travelling through the bush along a river called the Buller river. The water was deep and the bush was dense. It looked like a jungle.

The journey was rough and hard. They had to make a raft to go down the river. They made harakeke ropes to help them climb up and down the cliffs.

When their food ran out, they ate rats and fern roots. They had to eat Brunner’s dog! Eventually, they only had seaweed to eat.

They travelled for 6 months before Kehu said they can’t go any further because it was too dangerous. Brunner decided to carry on alone until a wave smashed him into the rocks and he sprained his ankle. After three weeks, he could walk again and he decided to go back home. 

He met the others on the way back and they went back to Nelson. On the way, Brunner had a stroke and the others wanted to leave him behind to die but Kehu would not do that. He helped him to get back to Nelson.

He got an award from the Queen.
