"It’s a good place to come for New Year’s Eve because it’s not far from Dunedin," Mr Morris said. A karakia was planned and "we’d probably have some bagpipes I imagine," Mr Morris said, for the New Year countdown. "That’s really the key thing about Whare Flat and the reason it’s been so successful for 45 years."
