This idea is a platform to capture, support and inspire authentic story lines about Marlborough.

Story lines that are stronger together and celebrate our different paths in Marlborough. The sort of stories that run through the place. Story lines you can only truly tell once you explore it, find its taonga, its culture, its language and purpose.

There are many precious pathways navigated to this special place. Te tai references the tide and the coast surrounding Marlborough, but also the pathways to and across the region, past and present by foot, airplane or waka. Like the tide, waves of people have come into the region, all at different times and through various different arrival methods. Each have helped to shape Marlborough and its landscape into the region we know and love.
