During the brief visit to Canberra, Ma-wai-hakona members were entertained to a meal by our High Commissioner Mr Chapman and Mrs Chapman. Mrs Betty Walker-Pocock, who once sang with Ngati Poneke as Te Kahureremoa Asher, and who now lives in Canberra, found it most moving to meet again people she knew in her youth. As she sang ‘Pokarekare Ana’ club members fell silent, listening to her beautiful voice. Time for a picture with Mr and Mrs Chapman on the lawn outside their home before leaving for a performance in Canberra Theatre
