Description At the foot of the Urewera ranges lies Awhi Tapu - a desolate forestry village. With the forestry industry closed down, the people of Awhi Tapu have left. Wendyl, Sonny, Casper and Girl Girl have only each other to rely on. Awhi Tapu is a story of loss, belonging but most of all, friendship.
