Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 3. 1966.

One highlight

One highlight

Among the highlights of the week was the main get-together held one night in the pa.

We were entertained with Maori action songs and in return treated them to several boisterous numbers from the student song book which were received with loud applause and laughter.

At such times as these, small groups could gather round the older Maoris, who with great charm and quiet dignity would enchant us with stories and myths surrounding the colourful history of the pa.

The erection of the carvings represents only the first step in the major project of restoring the whole pa, a task which will now be carried on by the local restoration committee.
