NIWA says the top time to check out the Matariki cluster is early morning on Friday or Saturday. And the best views will be from the lower North Island and the east of the South Island. But if you live elsewhere or are cold to the idea of rolling out of bed that early, you could bring in the holiday with a different kind of celebration. There are hunderds of events across the country to mark the Maori new year. One of them is Matariki Arrowtown Lights --- a free 3-day cultural event taking place in the heart of Ka Muriwai. Joining us now is Arrowtown Promotion and Business Association Manager Nicky Busst.
