About this audio guide
This audio guide to Christchurch Adventure Park rides the chairlift up the Port Hills and back to February two thousand seventeen, when a brand-new park had been open only eight weeks and wildfires broke out on the slopes around it. It touches the wind, the forest, the neighbourhoods below and a helicopter pilot who flew into the smoke. Best heard from the chairlift or beside its base station.
