When I was travelling back from Auckland with my five year old grandson a couple of weeks ago I decided to take a stop at the Kaipara Coast Sculpture Garden Centre to give Aiden a change to stretch his legs and for me to try the coffee at the cafe which I haven't visited before.
The coffee was so so but the childrens play area was excellent. I was ready to move on long before Aiden was which gave me a chance to wander around the plants. The staff in the cafe were lovely saying he'd be fine there by himself and they would keep an eye on him for me.
There's a sculpture trail at the centre. I will call in sometime when I have time for the 1 km walk. The artwork on the gates and fences give an indication of what to expect.
I'll come back to link to Theresa's Good Fences.
Great find on those gates Pauline. A good place to take a break and excellent photo op :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place to visit!
ReplyDeleteoh where abouts is this? I don't think I've been there...
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful, imaginative sculptures at that place....it would be fun to wander around viewing them.
ReplyDeleteThat's certainly a splendid gate.
ReplyDeleteIt will be well worth the return visit as those gates are really something! I love all the rusty tools on the first gate!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
love all the tools put into the fence!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are interesting fences.
ReplyDeleteThose were both great gates & so different from each other.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a place you'll definitely want to visit again - the gates are so very different from one another,
ReplyDeleteVery creative gates! Thanks for sharing.
