Great picture - I left NZ at age 23 Educated there at school obviously and don’t know or remember much of the Maori culture
See a Maori haka no idea what that means
Obviously 53 years living in Australia now it’s home and watch the aboriginal and so many other cultures in our multicultural country
Amazing how both Nz and Australian opened arms to welcome all thes poor unfortunate from their own countries they wanted to leave
