Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens



The last point on our whistlestop tour of Northland was the Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens. As we'd rounded the Kaipara Harbour, we caught glimpses of the amazing sculpture collection of Alan Gibbs at The Farm.

Unfortunately it wasn't (and hardly ever is) open for visitors so we made do with the kilometre-long sculpture trail at the garden centre round the corner where we enjoyed the art and planting immensely.

Regrettably even those pieces weren't affordable so I'll be DIYing having been inspired by some of the more down-to-earth pieces.

Fossicking About

On the beach this afternoon, my attention was drawn to some rocks by a scrabbling sound. I was amazed to find two huge green and purple crabs and their babies - like nothing we'd ever seen before.
