Singer Matiu Walters grinned as he gazed out over 50,000 damp but delirious fans and said those magic words: “So, what’s up Eden Park?”

Tohunga raranga, or master weaver, Rangi Fitzgerald with his cloak he wove for Vietnam veterans, on display at Te Manawa.
Stories of hardship and brotherhood woven into a Māori cloak have helped a master weaver make peace from his experience of war. Rangi Fitzgerald reflected on a long ago journey, at the age 19, boarding a plane for South Vietnam, as his kahu huruhuru, or cloak, was displayed at Te Manawa museum in Palmerston North for Anzac weekend.
