Te Atatu South is a residential suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. Te Atatu in Maori means dawn. Located on the Te Atatū Peninsula, it has coastlines on its eastern and western sides, with walkways and bike paths on both sides. Its location makes the suburb convenient access to to the city and Henderson town centre, and its elevation gives beautiful views of the city and the Waitakere Ranges.
In the 2018 New Zealand census, Te Atatu South had a population of 15,138 with 4,794 households.
The original Maori name for the Te Atatu area was Orukuwai. There is little evidence of early Maori settlement in the region, although the coastal fringes show evidence that the banks were used for fishing and bird hunting. Midden shells have been uncovered around the McLeod Reserve.
The European settlement started between 1853 and 1873 when Thomas Henderson bought land from Ngati Whatua and the Crown in 1855. The Henderson Timber Mill was built in what is now known as Henderson.
The area prior to the suburban development was primarily used for vineyards, poultry farms, fruit trees, apples, lemon orchards and flower farms.
Te Atatu South's main hub is the Te Atatū Town Centre, where Edmonton Road and Te Atatu Road converge. There is a small, light industrial area on McLeod Road.
Te Atatu South Park and McLeod Park are two major parks in the area.
Such abundance yesterday morning!!
Still genuinely fascinated with how much can happen in the sky in a single hour. Only in Aotearoa.
Have an awesome weekend guys 😊

5월 보름달은 flower moon이라는 이름을 가졌다.
Super red moon.
날씨도 오랫만에 보름달을 볼수 있도록 허락했다.
기쁜 마음으로
행복한 마음으로
보름달을 즐겨보았다.
망원렌즈는 병원에 보낸 채...
새로 구입한 90mm macro 렌즈로
보름달을 만나보았다.
크게는 찍지 못했지만
저 달도 마음에 든다.

오클랜드 시티의 실루엣은 아주 단조롭다.
그렇지만 나는 그 어떤 곳보다도 좋다.
내가 살아가는 이곳 ..
사랑스럽다^^
Meet Matt, our Mr. May Refill Pinup, and Lola! 👑🐶.
🌱 I refill because…
It’s clean, it's mean, and if it ain’t sustainable… it ain’t worth it! As consumers, I think we should all be making more environmentally-friendly decisions, as there’s power in what we pay for. We vote with our wallets! I don’t like collecting nasty non-recyclables when I shop, and Refill Nation helps me get around this. The cool staff keep the place tickety boo and always brighten your day too!
.
💡 My best waste-free discovery…
Glass jars. Since shopping at Refill Nation, I now use glass jars for so much more than before. They're airtight, recyclable, and can be used again and again. This is another great opportunity to ditch nasty single-use plastics.
.
🍫 My fave Refill Nation snack…
Has to be the roasted almonds! Immensely moreish and equally healthy. For Lola (aka “the furry bullet”), the dried liver snacks are her favourite, but, she still plans on tasting the remaining dog snacks on offer.
.
🤔 At first I thought eco-living was…
Whalesong, Tie-Dye t-shirts, world music, and dreadlocks.
.
🌼 But now I know…
Being sustainable is about making a conscious effort to look after the planet with what you buy, what you use, and how you live.
Te Atatu (“the dawn”)
Today, ngahuialott and I went for our Sunday walk celebrating the fact that Auckland was now out of Level 3 Lockdown.
We went to the beach I grew up next to at Beach Road in Te Atatu Peninsula.
The original Māori name was actually Ōrukuwai - Ō: place of; Rukuwai: an ancestor of Te Kawerau-a-Maki. The remains of a large Māori settlement were found in many places on the suburb. It is said that they left in 1900 to live in the Waikato and some returned in 1912.
Early European settlers had come from 1853 and they called the area Henderson's Point. In 1907, Reverend Jackson Bennett, coined the current name Te Atatu, in recognition of the spectacular sunrise views afforded from the peninsula.
After the expansion of the North Western motorway in the 1960s and 1970s, Te Atatu North (which formally became Peninsula in 1997) was covered in low- to medium-income houses and is now largely a residential and light industrial area.
We walked around the boardwalk overtop the mangrove flats, unfortunately low tide, but enjoyed the gentle stroll. The highlight was getting caught in the rain and seeing the biggest rainbow!
Turning around at the Taikata Sailing Club, we smiled at the kitsch houses and imagined this would have been the “Pauanui of West Auckland” back in the day.
Nice to walk the land I was raised in, and cool to discover new parts I had never seen before. Def worth a trip! 👍

Some epic photos taken at the amazing soundcanvas_tat 🤘
We didn't even know he had taken these until after the performance so these are our genuine performance faces I guess😅
Be sure to follow the main man photergraph if you haven't already 🤙 (he's the one who took the pictures)

Franky Pukeroa / 2020 / Kodak Ektar 100
To me Franky is the epitome of bombing. Call it what you want? manus, mangeres, v bombs, gorillas, staples, coffins, cannonballs, can openers, rollers, sleepers, earaches or shoulder barging the mutha funkin water like Franky did.
This fulla could do it all and do it well.
Growing up out Massey we had the local jumping tree. A quick little bush walk/obstacle course not far from Colwill Primary School. Although the tree was on the Massey side, Tat locals would often swim over and enjoy the tree too. And this one in particular, he owned the mutha funkin tree.
Over the years you might’ve heard me talk about Franky doing a double back flip to gorilla out this tree, turns out it was just a single back flip to gorilla, the tuck to gorilla makes it look like a double back flip 👀 still wtf?
Franky would climb up to the highest part of the tree and use the spring in the tree to get more air, kinda like a diving board, but native styles (think of a monkey in a tree trying to get to another higher tree 🤣)
For me it was the shoulder barge. It was like he had a problem with the water and was in a game of league and the hits were from 10m away, kinda like a Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka turned into Hulk Smash on impact. If you’ve seen it you know what I’m talking about.
Nowadays the council have closed the track to get to this spot on the Massey side so over the years we’ve crafted this technique to get to the tree from Tat side, if you time it right. You gotta get there 30mins before high tide, the current will take you straight to the tree which is about 300m away, this gives you pretty much an hour of calm water, perfect for bombs off this tree, then the tide will turn making it pretty much impossible to swim here unless you’re up for a pretty mean workout, this is where you catch the tide back to the pontoon. # winning
While we’re still in summer, I think this calls for another mish to the tree again, this time with the GoPro 🎥
Up2 Franky?
ps: I have no photos or footage of Franky owning this tree however swipe left to see the bro mcabbot in his happy place 🤗 He’s pretty much the boss of the tree 🌳
A delight to welcome our PM/new BFF jacindaardern and _hon_phil_twyford into Refill Nation today for a kōrero. 🤩 Honoured to be squeezed into the diary.

How do you ‘settle in’ when you move house? For me, the first step is (no surprise) generally starting a garden and getting the composting and worm farming ticking.
And then, it’s time to go exploring, create new routines, look for interesting spots to hang out, and see just how much of my basic needs can be met in a 5km radius.
A big highlight for me this week is discovering that the local gym club_physical_official has a sauna. Such a treat! I’m quickly becoming one of those people who packs a gym bag in the morning and stops off for a few kilometres of cycling, rowing and a sauna before heading home each day.
When I was given my tour of the gym, the manager suggested that the barre class might complement my gardening work nicely. I wonder — is it time to deal with the childhood ballet trauma? 🤣 They also have a class dedicated to cycling, which sounds like the strangest thing, but I’m tempted to have a go and join in the Tour de France 🇫🇷 theme.
I suspect the next highlight could be ‘Food Truck Fridays’ at the end of the week.
And so, bit by bit Te Atatu South is beginning to feel like home.
The next task will be to find an organisation in the area ready to create a workplace edible garden using biodynamic composting.
Know any spots in Te Atatu South that have space to compost and want to start growing food & flowers?

This week in my new space has been an absolute vibe! What an honor it is to provide the time and space for productive rest.
.
Remember that term- productive rest. Its not just receiving a massage, it's anything you like to do that turns down the internal noise and gives you the opportunity to gain clarity and perspective over your thoughts and feelings.
.
Prioritizing time for productive rest will help you show up as a better you. Your future self/ health will thank you for it.
