About

Southland District Council, in partnership with Te Ao Marama, invite you to explore the treasures of Murihiku by following the stars in Te Kahui o Matariki and Puaka via our Matariki Wayfinding Journey. This wayfinding experience will guide you through parts of our region, visiting locations and stops on the way to learn more about Maori astronomy, cultural narratives and history, places of significance, local stories, flora, and fauna.

This wayfinding journey was co-funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Tourism Infrastructure Fund (TIF) and the Southland District Council.
