Located along the Ōtākaro Avon River Promenade near Montreal Street.

Spiritual call of welcome.  Poupou karanga are our respected wāhine (women) who call to welcome the manuhiri (guest, visitor) as they arrive onto the papa kāinga.

The kaikaranga from the manuhiri then return their call. This exchange of voices is represented in the top and bottom patterns.

The middle patterns are the irirangi – spiritual vibrations – heard from the karanga.
