Whāriki Maumahara

Whāriki: Maumahara

Located in front of the Bridge of Remembrance on Oxford Terrace.

Remembering our fallen in battle.  Lest we forget assists us in our remembrance of all the wars New Zealanders fought in, and we honour those who never returned home.

The designs indicate lines of servicemen and women marching forth to war, together with the famous red ‘poppies’, symbolising the fields of the fallen.

Lastly, in relation to our pātikitiki (a pattern used on whāriki mats, originating from the lashing together of framework timbers of houses) pattern, this design depicts the soul journeying from home into the spiritual realm.
