Fish head



 Dished up for dinner when we were out recently. It was quite large and there was enough for four adults to have a taste.

Waharoa, Auckland

Aotea Square, Auckland

Waharoa, front

Waharoa, back

Waharoa is the Maori word meaning gateway. 
It is situated at the Queen Street entrance to Aotea Square. 
The gate was designed by Selwyn Muru, a Maori sculptor,
 and is a contemporary design built in wood and copper.
On the back is a Maori inscription which has been translated into English.
Knati to
whenguwhengu
ake irarona o
te awtipi haere
Pikimai e te ua
o te whatu
katakata mai
anora

Stop
your snivelling
creek bed
come rain hail
and floodwater
laugh again
