Voyage to the birthplace of New Zealand - Northland

As the landing point for the Maori explorer Kupe and the settlers who followed him, Northland is the spiritual birthplace of New Zealand. Experience this ancestral home on a waka, learning about the history of the land from a unique vantage point.

A special culture

[@williamhornabrook8081]

I would highly recommend visiting Northland, especially for Kiwis. I'll grant, it's a bit of a drive if you say, got off the ferry in Wellington, but it's a special place.

how beautiful mauriora

[@user-oh4yd5uh4e]

how beautiful mauriora........ News headline from the Rotorua Daily Post newspaper: " Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life" As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.
