There where more stores then Dee whys Waitangi fest but that's to be expected considering the park has much more space then the car park of time and tide. I absolute could have about brought everything but as it goes money runs out. I love the food though the lamb had more fat then meat. I also could of brought more food. Every stores was wonderful I am defiantly bringing more cash with me next year. At least I will try to. Over all it was an awesome day out with the family. Looking forward to comming again next year.

  • Tohora uni. 
                                       
    Tohora nui,
    tohora roa
    Tohora tino mōmona
    Tohora whiuwhiua,
    Tohora piupiua
    E kau ana te moana

    Poaka nui
    Poaka toa
    Poaka tino mōmona
    Poaka kunekune
    Poaka whiore koro
    Poaka hongihongi i te paru e!
         Big whale,
    long whale
    very fat whale
    fling (your tail) whale
    wave (your tail) whale
    swimming in the ocean

    Big pig,
    Brave pig,
    Very fat pig
    A Captain Cooker
    with a curly tail
    Snorting around in the mud



                                                 Pāpā hipi mangu.

                                               Pāpā hipi mangu
                                               He wūru ano au?
                                               Ae e pā ae e pā
                                               E toru peke kī
                                              tahi mā te māhita
                                              tahi mā te kuia
                                              tahi mā te tama iti
                                              Tangi ana i te ara
         Baa baa black sheep
    Have you any wool?
    Yes sir, yes sir
    Three bags full
    one for the master
    one for the old lady
    one for the little boy
    crying down the road
                


                                                                 Māre te pō

                                                           Mārie te pō, tapu te pō
                                                           Marino, marama
