The Great Wall of Hant’s Harbour story is read by Ray Tuck, and told from the perspective of fictional character Joe, an avid gardener who shares some insights into the work that went into move the stones that make up the (humorously named) "Great Wall" of Hant’s Harbour.

Stretching through the hills above the community, this network of stone walls has long inspired curiosity and debate. Some believe the stones were cleared from gardens and fields by early settlers, while others suggest much older origins. Whatever its beginnings, the Great Wall reflects the immense physical effort required to live and farm in this rugged landscape.
