At our Kuranda the Whanau came out at 6.30 in the morning to gather/ stand and share at Island Bay beach to view Matariki. We had a share Karakia, a guest speaker who gave a talk about the stars, early navigation and about Matariki practices and we had some time to reflect on the year gone by and to set a Whanau goal for this next year. It was a gathering of over 100 people and shows the community getting together. Then we had shared breakfast at school. Where about 200 came for a Matariki shared breakfast/ Parakuihi.
