Blood runs through the Sounds

Social Media Manager from Tuia 250 ki Tōtaranui

Coastal Marlborough has many places named after the great battle between Kupe and Te Wheke a Muturangi, a giant octopus that Kupe had pursued from Hawaiiki.

Tory Channel is known as Kura Te Au - the red current - a name that refers to the blood that flowed from the octopus when it died.

Sometimes red veins of krill / maunu can be seen flowing through the Sounds.

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

We're excited to see what you come up with!
