Matariki e ārau ana.
Today we celebrate the first day of Matariki, the Māori new year, marked by the rise of the Matariki star cluster ✨ in the dawn sky.
⠀
According to the maramataka, the Māori lunar calendar, the reappearance of Matariki brings the old lunar year to a close and marks the beginning of the new year. The rising of Matariki is a time to gather with whānau and friends, to reflect on the past and remember loved ones, to celebrate the present time and to plan for the future. ⠀
The nine visible stars include: Matariki, Tupuārangi, Waipuna-ā-Rangi, Waitī, Tupuānuku, Ururangi, Waitā, Pōhutukawa and Hiwa-i-te-Rangi. Each star holds a certain significance for wellbeing and environment, as seen from the Māori view of the world.

Over the next few days you may be able to spot Matariki in the pre-dawn sky 🔭🌃 - 4am onwards is a good time to view. Look for the small milky cluster on the north eastern horizon.

Happy Matariki Aotearoa!

If an earthquake is long or strong, get gone! If it lasts longer than a minute or is strong enough that it's hard to stand up, then move to high ground or as far inland as possible.

TODAY IN HISTORY - 10 April 1968
Sinking of the Wahine - 53 years ago
We post about this disaster every year because for so many of us that horrific day is as fresh in our memories as if it was yesterday.
Most of us were personally affected in some way, some losing family or friends (53 people were killed) many others lost their homes and possessions. It also took a long time to learn to sleep again during high winds.
