The Annual Mt Victoria Treasure Hunt is coming this weekend and we welcome you to join us to celebrate Mt Victoria.
This, our 5th Treasure Hunt, is a part of Neighbours Day Aotearoa - we're celebrating it a little later as there have been so many other local events on in the recent weeks. Plus we want to wind down summer with a happy occasion.
The date is Sunday 7th April, from 2pm (registering at the Hub 24 Elizabeth Street), finishing with a sausage sizzle, music and spot prizes at Innermost Gardens from 4pm.
Our theme for this year's event is "Kia Ora Neighbour" - encouraging people to say Kia Ora to each other every day, to be inclusive, welcoming and inviting.
For those of you who have never participated before here is a quick rundown of what to expect:
- A location is marked on a map with an accompanying clue - this is handed out when registering at the start of the Treasure Hunt (at The Hub from 2 pm.)
- Individuals or groups make their way around each (or some depending on ability and accessibility) of the locations.
- At each station, you partake in a little activity.
- You then receive a stamp or sticker on their map to say you have visited that location.
- The final Station is at Innermost Gardens where we will finish the day with a sausage sizzle and music from the Mighty Ukes ukulele band.
We have many great local venues and groups joining us on the day, Innermost Gardens, Quakers, Mt Victoria Historical Society, Mt Victoria Residents Association, Mt Victoria Bush Regeneration Group, Predator Free, St Josephs Church and Rebicycle Ekerua with their Bicycle Rodeo.
Lots of fun things for friends, family and neighbours to do together.

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.
