There are plans to set the Napier Hastings Shoreline alight for Matariki, in the hope it will become an annual tradition. Organised in conjunction with local iwi Ngāti Kahunguhu, the Matariki Mahuika project encourages people to go to the beach and light their own fires in a bid to light up the coastline from Cape Kidnappers to Tāngoio. Cyclone Gabrielle has gifted the area an abundance of drift wood to fuel the event. Organiser Neill Gordon talks to Lisa Owen.
