All Blacks Parade, and memories

The high from last night's fabulous stage drama, where the Maori team just showed what sterling talents they have, at the same time telling the untold story of the incredible sadness and tragedy of participating in the First World War, or any war for that matter. The Australian Aboriginals had the same predicament, not recognised in their native country and fighting for a faraway British crown while experiencing horrific suffering and dying in the process.

This great actor and the writer Witi Ihimaera

Creating a wonderful theatre experience which chilled and thrilledthe riveted audience.

Sonny Bill Williams, now a Muslimand has become a loving, giving man.

An example of young Kiwi womanhood..cute and sassy, feet on chair, her own woman and who will truck with no man. The Pop Diva Lorde is their role model and she rules the pop music world at the moment.

The fans assembling for the Welcome Home!

Refugees from the celebrations....discussing other things I dare to conject.

The champions are saluted!One by one the All Blacks and their coaches were welcomed on to the stage at Civic Square, visibly exhausted after their return trip and three continuous days of travelling to the three centres, and now finally to the capital. They must be relieved the Kiwi welcome is over, but the Kiwis love ceremony and are everfaithful to their gods of Rugby.
