Ngā mate
E aku nui, e aku rahi
Aku whakatamarahi
Nei rā te tuku karere ki a koutou
Kua tau ngā kapua pōuri
Kua heke ngā roimata
Kua hihiko ngā kare-a-roto
Auē taukuri e.
Kua hinga tētahi kuru pounamu nō Arahura, ko Mary Hinetewai Tulloch (née Tainui).
Moe mai rā e te taonga, te ahikā o Te Tai o Poutini.
On Wednesday 1 May, our Aunty Babe – Mary Hinetewai Tulloch – peacefully passed away at her home in Hokitika surrounded by her whānau. Aunty Babe was a matriarch of Ngāti Waewae who committed numerous years to our Arahura whānau and our community development.
She was a loving mother, nana, aunty, cousin and special friend who will be sadly missed by all. Our thoughts and aroha go out to the Tulloch, Tainui/Tauwhare whānau at this time.

Marae development
Another exciting milestone to add to the Arahura Marae complex is the new carvers’ workshop. The foundations are currently being built. The finished building will be at the rear of the tari (office). Our wharekai is also nearly finished. Here is a look at progress to date.
