Avarua: traditional genealogical recitations place the founding of the #Avarua tribe around AD 875, a realistic date given the other evidence from the #Oceania migratory period.

endlich passen die Tasse und der Buttemoscht auf dem Zopf zum Blumenstrauss auf dem Küchentisch ;-) ein Sonnenstrahl kitzelt mein Gesicht zu einem Lächeln …
der Name der mir geschenkten Tasse Avarua von Villeroy & Boch ist Mãori und bedeutet „Zwei Häfen“ - die Farben der Prachts-Lilie und des exotischen Vogels findet sich im Rot und Grün in des Blumenstrausses - darin auch Hagebutten-ähnliche Beeren ;) ein Sonntagsbild

Avarua, Rarotonga - it has been a hassle getting this port call set up, this morning started out par for the course, high winds, insistent rain but as the sun rose and we waited for our pilot, we were greeted with this...

It’s still important to get the history correct:

"Somehow they just didn’t get celebrated when they got home. It was no big deal. There was no RSA at that time.” — Grace Hutton Te Papa Pacific Collections

There have been RSAs in the Cook Islands since the 1920s nzhistory.govt.nz/page/anzac-d...
