Local historian Lisa Truttman uncovers the story behind the Wai Horotiu stream, a waterway that once ran largely exposed through what is now Auckland's CBD. From a place where children fished playfully with broken pins, to the notoriety of being "Ligar's Canal", finally channelled, bricked and covered, undergound and out of sight -- the story of Wai Horotiu and its disappearance from our landscape is part of the foundation of the city of Auckland.
