Pōneke place names in te reo app Mahau

- Now buried, a stream used to flow through Parliament Grounds. Waipiro (‘stinking water’) was named so by locals because its slow-flowing waters could get a bit smelly. We caught up with Ross Calman, one of the translators who worked on Mahau, the reo Māori language app for Wellington, to learn about uncovering the names and knowledge that reflect our city’s multi-layered history.
