Lovely to see everyone coming together for Matariki. Our neighbourhood had a big breakfast. 🌟

Oh great, another paid holiday for some people. What about the rest of us?

Don't knock it til you try it. The sense of community is what NZ needs more of.

I was there with my flatmates, it was beautiful. So cool seeing all ages and backgrounds.

Woke up at 4am to catch the stars, worth it though. The kai afterwards was bomb.

Good turnout but parking was a nightmare as usual. They need to sort out the transport for these events.

Must be nice to have time for star gazing, some of us work for a living.

FFS not everything is about work. This country is so obsessed with productivity.

Not into the whole spirituality thing but the community vibe was legit.

First time celebrating Matariki properly. The stories and songs were amazing. Keen for next year!
