Mayor re-opens Days Bay Wharf with a 'manu'
Hutt City Mayor Campbell Barry and National MP Chris Bishop have reopened Days Bay Wharf with a triumphant ‘manu’ into Wellington harbour.
“I’ve been googling how to perfect a manu. I’m pretty sure my splash was higher than Chris’s,” said Barry.
Bishop was gracious in defeat.
“Campbell’s was much better than mine,” he said.
More a hundred people gathered in Days Bay for a karakia and speeches to mark the completion of a $4.6 million refurbishment of the 126-year-old wharf on Friday.
If you do not know what a manu is, it is a water bomb.
