The new walking and biking paths along the Cobham Drive foreshore have been blessed by Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika at a ceremony this morning (Monday 15 March) and then officially opened by Deputy Mayor Sarah Free and MP for Ōhāriu Greg O’Connor.
This part of Wellington’s coast holds strong connections for mana whenua iwi (Taranaki Whānui, Ngāti Toa Rangatira). Taranaki Whānui has worked closely with Wellington City Council on aspects of the landscape design and gifted the name Tahitai (one tide, one journey) for the harbourside walking and biking route around Akau Tangi (Evans Bay) between Miramar and the central city.
OPINION:
Kia ora, and welcome to Wellington Airport. You arrive home on Sunday afternoon, pick up your baggage, dispose of your mask and venture outside. You go to call an Uber. Wait a minute, you have to go to the special pick-up place and wait. And last time it wasn’t much cheaper than a cab. Instead, you decide to splash out on a taxi. Wait a minute, look at the queue! Funny how when you’re trying to find a park in town, cabs are everywhere, but when you arrive at the airport on a busy Sunday afternoon … Then you have the bright idea of getting the airport bus. Wait a minute, there is no airport bus any more! And even when you did catch it, you always felt a little ripped off compared to the superior airport bus you caught in Auckland.
