<div>You will find this mural on the side of the Southside Dairy. Deow says, "When the ghost bird takes flight on the new moon, all Titi (motion bird), scamper from their islands and start their epic flight north. The girl symbolises the next generation to tell the tale of this Ngāi Tahu, Maori, legend".&nbsp;</div>

The Ghost Bird 

<div>This beautiful portrait sits in a carpark between two streets, Don Street and Esk Street, so it is slightly hidden.

This can also be seen by entering from Esk Street at the Auction House car park which is behind their building.&nbsp;</div>
