Ko te Ōtane o Haratua

Kei te rangahau ahau i te pūrakau 'Rona rāua ko Mārama'. I whakahiwa ahau i te whakaaro mō te mārama. Kua pānui ahau akuanei, ko te pō tānetanga ināianei, ia nā Ōtane.

I am studying the legend of Rona and the moon. I find different thinking about the moon really interesting. I read recently that the current phase is a masculine one hence Ōtane.

Kātahi anō ahau ka kite ariari ki tēnei pikitia. He pikitia tēnei mō te Taniwha o Pari-ā-rua. Ko Awarua ia.

What I hope I said was: I only just saw this picture clearly. This is a picture about the Taniwha of Porirua. Their name is Awarua.

Pari-ā-rua - means 'the tide sweeping up both reaches' and is the correctly spelt name of the city of Porirua.
