Delve into the fascinating origins of the names for Sydney and Melbourne, represented by the unique terms "poak" and "POI." Explore how these words, seemingly unrelated to the cities they represent, are actually derived from the breakup of the main ports - Port Jackson for Sydney and Port Phillip for Melbourne. Join me in unraveling the historical significance of these names, offering a nostalgic nod to the colonial days when sea trade played a pivotal role in the connection between Australia and Alora.
🌟 ABOUT STARTING IN TE REO MAORI 🌟
"Welcome to 'Starting In Te Reo Māori' - Your Gateway to Language Revival and Cultural Reconnection! 🌱
I'm Grant Whitbourne, the founder of this empowering initiative. 'Starting In Te Reo Māori' is more than just a channel; it's a movement dedicated to preserving the enduring legacy of Te Reo Māori, the indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand.
My personal journey, originating from Australia but deeply connected to the Te Whānau-a-Apanui heritage, is at the heart of this channel. I intimately understand the challenges that new learners face when embracing a language pivotal to their culture but often shrouded in confusion.
Through my transformative experience of reconnecting with Te Reo, I found a profound purpose. Now, as a loving parent, I'm on a mission to pass on this invaluable heritage to my children and create a bridge for others to embark on the same journey.📚
