Fish business

Holmes Kindergarten children visited Moeraki Marae to learn about the tuna, history of the area and to see the really big whale bones.

Native Fish members Rangi Timothy (Arowhenua), Pauline Reid (Waihao), Patrick Tipa (Moeraki) and Dion Timothy (Arowhenua) pose for the camera before heading off for one of the most successful trap and transfers in recent history.

Marae visit

The Akuhata-Brown / Pohio whānau recently visited during a 10-day haerenga from Gisborne to Bluff, visiting marae along the way that Horomona had whakapapa ties to. We would like to thank David Higgins very much for the lovely history kōrero he gave us and also for taking us to the rūnaka office, where some of the whānau were able to get forms for registering. We also went on a visit to the Moeraki Boulders, which we hadn’t seen before – and which our moko thoroughly enjoyed. This was a trip of a lifetime for some.
