About Aton Tari

E whakaahua ana te hoahoa tari i tētahi āhua hou, auaha, e hono māhorahora ana i te mahi tika me te tuakiri waitohu. Mā te aro ki ngā āhua maitai me ngā mata whakaata, ka puta te kaha me te manawaroa o te wāhi, me te whakanui i te mārama. Ko ngā tuanui teitei 3.7 mita e whakanui ana i te wāteatanga, hei whakakapi mō te iti o te mārama māori. Ko te papa tae tōkeke e hāngai ana ki ngā rawa, e hanga ana i tētahi āhua hihiri e whakaatu ana i te mana me te whakaaro whakamua. Ko ngā takotoranga kua hoahoa māhorahora e whakapai ana i te pai o te mahi, e whakaatu ana i ngā wāhi mahi kanorau, tētahi whare hui hangarau teitei, me te rangatira momoho
