Whanganui city, seen from Durie Hill at dusk. Cross the river and head to Durie Hill to climb the Durie Hill War Memorial Tower. Back down and into the city, the Whanganui iSite is just over the other side of the river. Grab a map to navigate yourself to the excellent Whanganui Regional Museum. It's in the old Whanganui Chronicle building and you can grab a coffee and a slice of cake before browsing the second-hand clothing, games and collectables on sale in the back.
