Hei Hei

Hei Hei is a suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. It is located in the west of Christchurch 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from the central city,^[1] and is bisected by State Highway 1. The area was subdivided for poultry farming after World War I for returning serviceman, but the venture failed due to the poor soil conditions.^[2] The place name is a Māori word and literally means noise, disturbance, storm, dust; in modern usage, it can also mean fowl.^[1]
