Wellington's first ever Matariki fireworks have finally gone ahead... now the city's famous whale has left the harbour
14 July 2018
The display was postponed last weekend, after concern about its impact on a visiting southern right whale.
This evening's celebrations have been given the all clear, as the whale has been safely out at sea for a few days.
This year marks the first time the Guy Fawkes fireworks display has been moved to July, to celebrate the Maori new year.
