A story from Maori mythology was the presented on the Wanaka lake shore in calm, dry conditions last night to signal the beginning of the 2015 Southern Lakes Festival of Colour.

Assisting with the lighting of a line of floating craft were Ethan Brady (11) and Dave Spedding, from Lake Hawea.

The conflagration of objects made from natural materials to resemble birds was masterminded by Ross Hemera, of Wellington.
