A life well lived: Richard Coldicutt joins us on Meet Your Neighbour this week!

As a 16 year, local artist and academic Richard Coldicutt woke up in a nightmare. His mum, dad and sister had died in a tragic and avoidable airliner crash on landing at Pago Pago, American Samoa.


Richard tells us an extraoridnary story of loss, love and a life very well lived in this awesome episode of Meet Your Neighbour.


Whananaki is a real special place - in fact, it's THE special place, for Richard and wife Jude who discovered this piece of paradise while travelling the North in the late 1970's and fell in love on first sight.


Listen to Richard Coldicutt's story as we try to meet every local in Whananaki, one person at a time with Meet Your Neighbour!
