Huia is a western coastal community in Waitakere District, Auckland, New Zealand and part of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park. The population is roughly 580.
Huia was known locally as Te Huia as the region is believed to be named after the Māori chief, Te Huia, who lived in the bay and was quite taken to the region that he remained there. The English translation "The Huia" was used in the 1970s, but "Huia" has become more prevalent.
Most of Huia 's houses are located along Huia Road, which arcs around Huia Bay and heads west to Little Huia.
Huia has a single store / cafe (Huia Store) that celebrated its 120th anniversary in 2006. Huia is also being served by the Huia Volunteer Fire Brigade.
There are picnic tables, a grill, a small playground, a basketball half-court and a half pipe for skating on the shores of Huia Bay. It's similar to the Lower Huia Dam, the Upper Huia Dam and the Karamatura Falls.
The Upper Huia Dam was opened in 1929 and the Lower Huia Dam opened in 1971. Both reservoirs are part of Auckland's water system and are operated by Watercare Services.
The Auckland Council operates many accommodation facilities in the district, including the Kiwanis Huia Camp, the Huia Lodge (which includes the old school building), the Barr Cottage (located on the waterfront in LIttle Huia) and the camping area known as the Barn Paddock in the Karamatura Farm.
The Huia Settlers Museum is situated near the entrance of the Karamatura Park. The museum holds many remnants of the Kauri felling and milling and objects of the HMS Orpheus wreck.
The old school of Huia is past the museum. The school was opened in 1894 and closed in 1961 due to declining numbers. It's the Huia Lodge now. Green Bay High School is a nearby state secondary school.
There is an abundance of walking trails across the Huia region, and there are numerous camp sites in the Karamatura Valley. The highest point in the Waitākere range-Te Toi o Kawharu (474m)-Accessible through the Twin Peaks Track is part of this valley.
Ren did this beautiful Huia feather a few months ago.
We are taking enquires for when we reopen which will hopefully be soon.

Nearly two years ago I anxiously resigned from my full-time job in fashion to persue art as a career. This artwork was really special as I sold this original Huia pair the night before I handed in my resignation letter... which I felt was a sign I was doing the right thing. It's been a big journey, lots of lessons and hard work but boy it's been amazing! I hope I can inspire some of you to follow your passion. Even if it's just outside of work hours to begin with (I used to draw on the train to work) it's totally worth the risk and leap of faith! Two years on, lots of drawing later and I am here with my very last limited edition print of this Huia artwork 🐦🐦 I hope I can find a special home for this one ❤️

This one's a first for me - a feather from an extinct species. A Huia feather handmade from wenge and sycamore. The Huia lived on the North Island of New Zealand and the last confirmed sighting was in 1907. In Māori culture the Huia was considered sacred and only people of high status were allowed to wear Huia skins and feathers. The tribes that lived in the Huia's territory also traded the feathers with other tribes for shark's teeth, greenstone and other valuables. In 2010 a Huia feather was bought for $8400. Mine are much cheaper and won't be eaten by moths 😉

*edit - now sold sorry (a couple still remain in other galleries if anyone else is interested)
🌟 Last time opportunity 🌟 a few of my galleries have sadly closed down over the past few months and I've recently received some more of my prints back. One of those includes a Huia print which has been sold out on my website for months - I now have one A3 print now available again ❤️

Hello again Karlo Mila ❤️ started some of this over the weekend and it was just the tonic I needed. I read another of her poetry collections last year and fell hard, it was one of my faves from the year. That same feeling of connection deep in my bones again with this one.
I already know I’ll be reading this one over and over again. Like in DREAM FISH FLOATING, she pays homage to respected literary greats from the Pacific. It makes me want to follow those paths and circle back to her words afterwards.
My last encounter with her work was in a separate anthology, with this title dedicated to Epeli Hau’ofa. That feeling of belonging to different spaces which are also one that both explore really spoke to me. It feels like coming back full circle to meet {Oceania} again in GODDESS MUSCLE. I’ll be savouring this one 💕
