When the stars appear above the horizon in mid winter they signal the Maori new year and a time of renewal and celebration. All NZ is catching on now and in the last 10 years Matariki has become a much more widely accepted cultural gift. We've just made Matariki a public holiday.
There was a local light show at the beach so we wandered over on a chilly night and strolled around some light sculptures with a lot of rugged up beanie wearers.
Walked through some of the sculptures too. Seen here trying to get out of green spaghetti.
And, out!
