CPlay members Roselyn Fauth and Francine Spencer visit Te Ana Ngāi Tahu Māori Rock Art Centre to look for inspiration on how to share Timaru's Caroline Bay story at the Playground.
CPlay committee members visited Te Ana Ngāi Tahu Māori Rock Art Centre to look at how rock art, voyaging and food gathering could be incporporated into the new play space at Caroline Bay.
We came away buzzing with ideas and can't wait to include these in the design and story brief. At the Center there is piece of rock art that was removed from the Takiroa, Duntroon, North Otago rock art site. It is throught that this could be of the Arai-te-uru waka that crashed on the Otago coastline. This is one of the creation stories that we would like to share. Many of the passengers then went ashore to explore the land and turned into many of the landmarks of Te Waipounamu. We also want to look at ways to incorporate a food gathering story.
