Happy Matariki!
Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Celebrate the rising of Matariki
Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars, that rises in midwinter and for many Māori, heralds the start of the new year.
The return of the cluster is commemorated by Te Rā Aro ki Matariki 2024, which happens on Friday, June 28, this year
It just became a national holiday for us Kiwis in 2022 so many of us are only now learning its significance.

Jeg I saw the best night skies when I was visiting friends in NZ. 2mo
Centique @Jeg there are some beautiful spots to see the night sky! I recommend Tekapo in the South Island. I do hope you get to visit here again one day 😍 2mo
