Every year, the Bar-tailed Godwits (Kuaka) complete an astonishing 12,000 km non-stop journey from Alaska to New Zealand. Flying at an average speed of 55 km/h, they cover this distance in just 8-9 days. We think that’s worth celebrating! 🐦
Restoring Takarunga Hauraki invites you to join us in welcoming these incredible travelers with a community picnic and fun activities for all ages. Bring your friends, family, and a picnic to enjoy. If you’d like, feel free to bring a plate to share at our communal picnic table—completely optional!
Let’s celebrate the return of the Kuaka and the joy of our community—see you there!
