Booklet of five x $3.60 'Whanganui Journey' self-adhesive stamps.
In 2017 Whanganui River gained legal status as a living entity. Although Whanganui Journey is included in the 10 Great Walks, it involves paddling rather than walking. Along the way you can take a break from the river on a short hiking trail that leads to the Bridge to Nowhere.
The 2024 Scenic Definitives stamps showcase the Great Walks of Aotearoa New Zealand. Click here to find out more about the stamp issue.
