The Hangi took place in a farmhouse with the sign ``Helensville Family Welfare Trust'', in Woodhill, just North of Waimauku, about 30 minutes North-West drive from Auckland.
The Hangi was cooked in truly traditional style by a Maori expert, Jack Porter, with a clay pit, stones heated by manuka wood, flax leaves, etc. (although wire baskets were used to hold the food instead of flax kits).
