One of local shops in Moerewa has this mural on the front. I was unable to find out who painted it but the words "Ngati Hine Health Trust" are painted within it so maybe they have something to do with it. The trust was formed in 1987 to help address the health needs of local Maori to the area. The Ngapuhi tribe is associated with the Northland region of New Zealand centred mainly in Whangarei, Hokianga and the Bay of Islands.
So as Covid makes it's way continually around the world, the so called travel bubble we had going on with certain states in Australia seems to have blown up. One traveller, who apparently started feeling unwell on the plane over here from Sydney (I think) visited more than several places in Wellington (who is now in level 2) and now we are waiting to see if any cases come up. Somehow I don't think this so called travel bubble is a wise idea...
Linking up with Mural Monday.

...I like the bold graphic.
The murals look very intricate and reflecting of traditional art motifs. I'd like to see the one that's partly hidden behind the car.

The murals completely change the building making it far more attractive.
This was an interesting read, Amy. I learned a lot, and not just about the mural, either. I have very little knowledge of New Zealand and none on the Ngapuhi tribe until I read your post. Thank you for a lovely mural and a great geography and history lesson in the process.
They should extend it to the yellow bits.
Very well done.
I go with Elizabeth.
And, my. When can we travel again. Perth again has three days of strict restrictions, here things open up, but masks are still required. Such weirdness.
Nice find Amy, thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
We will start a 3 day lockdown from midnight, a woman who visited a Sydney hotspot returned to Perth and now someone else has been found to be infected...
The mural looks great on the building. I also agree with Jim's comment.
On the covid thing it is so easy to do instant testing that you'd think everyone should test before being allowed on the plane.
Once everyone is vaccinated is the time for travel I think Amy, hopefully sooner rather than later 😊
