Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio Kāi Tahu whānui, tēnā koutou katoa. Nei rā te whakamiha o Kāti Māhaki ki Makaawhio ki a koutou katoa.
Tēnā anō tātou katoa. E tika ana kā kupu, kua tae mai te wā makariri ki Te Tai o Poutini. Winter has definitely arrived and we have been blessed with lots of heavy rain, a few frosty mornings and fresh snow on Kā Tiritiri o te Moana.
Nei rā hoki te mihi poroporoaki ki kā tini mate mai Muriwhenua ki Rakiura tae noa atu ki kā motu kē o te ao. Ki a rātou katoa, kua hika mai, kua hika atu, haere, haere, haere atu rā. Haere koutou ki te taha o kā mātua tīpuna ki tua o te ārai, moe mai koutou i te rakimārie. Rātou ki ā rātou, tātou anō ki a tātou.
Aoraki is looking stunning as you can see from the picture taken at the mouth of the Hokitika River and Tama-nui-te-raki has been trying to take the sting out of the icy air.
Kā Tiritiri o te Moana.
Aoraki matatū.
