Praying for New Year!

---

Yes its New Years or Matariki as they call it over here (Maori New Year). We went into Waipukarau to join in the festival, well small festival which included a couple of stalls, a hot-dog stand and a stage. The entertainment was initially very good with traditional maori dancers as seen on the pic, although it was particularly cold as winter sets in!

Also managed to spot a Praying Mantis on the wall on the way in.
