Hundertwasser toilets in Kawakawa, New Zealand
Die Hundertwassertoilette ist eine öffentliche Toilette in der Gilles Street 60, der Hauptstraße der Ortschaft Kawakawa auf der neuseeländischen Nordinsel.
The toilet facility was designed by the reclusive expatriate Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who lived in Kawakawa from 1975 until his death in 2000, aged 71.The decorative toilet block is the only project designed by Hundertwasser in the Southern Hemisphere and the artist's last project completed within his lifetime. The style is typical Hundertwasser, with wavy lines, irregular ceramic tiles, integrated small sculptures, coloured glass and a live tree incorporated into the architecture.
Kawakawa, Hundertwasser
Es ist zwar nur ein Klo, aber auch ein Kultobjekt. Kawakawa. Ein „stilles“ Örtchen, doch die öffentliche Toilette dort, ist weit über die Grenzen von Neuseeland bekannt.

World famous Hundertwasser Toilet in Kawakawa is cracking
It's New Zealand's most famous toilet block.
But the much-loved tourist stop in Northland could be, well, in the crap.
The famed Fredensreich Hundertwasser-designed toilets in Kawakawa are sinking, and the local custodians are worried the widening cracks will one day see the Austrian artist's last work damaged beyond repair.
Anna Burns-Francis went to find out what can be done to save the world's most practical work of art.

FROM AUCKLAND TO KERIKERI - day 02 - North Island, New Zealand
My website :
My Instagram :
So for those who have seen my last video and are back, either it wasn’t that bad (I don’t believe that for a second) or you like to be tortured (naughty you). Well there could be a third option, that you’re interested in seeing how bad these videos can get (the option I would bet on). Nonetheless, welcome back to you and the newcomers!
Today we pickup our camper-van and make our way north to Kerikeri near the Bay Of Islands. I got up early to head down to Viaduct Basin near Downtown Pier 4 for some photos. It was an overcast morning with some breaks in the clouds on the horizon. I came away with two though. One of The Cloud convention centre and the other of the Sky Tower. Afterwards I went for a walk on Queen’s Wharf around The Cloud before heading back to the room. I was getting hungry and the others would be getting up soon.
Finding a place to eat at 7:30 in the morning on a Sunday was more difficult than we thought. Everything was either closed or opened around 8:30-9 o’clock. Except for The MLC Cafe & Bar, just down the road from us, who open there doors at 7 am. The coffee, food and service was great. I can highly recommend it.
After brekky it was time to pickup our camper-van. We thought it would take about a half hour to have keys in hand but it took a little longer… three hours! Yep, no joke. They apparently had a glitch with their system. We had planned to arrive in Kerikeri around 12:30-1 o’clock but we were just leaving Auckland. No matter, our trip around the North Island of New Zealand had begun. Destination Kerikeri, north of Auckland near the Bay of Islands, with a little stop-over in Kawakawa. A little town at the cross road where you can either head east to Paihia or north-west further up the island. I wanted to visit Kawakawa’s public toilets. Yes, you read me right. But not any toilets, the Hundertwasser public toilets. A beautiful work of art. I’m glad we stopped to check the toilets out because we would never seen the rest of the art works in this little town. Well worth a stop-over.
Moving onward, we’d planned to stop by a couple of wineries, a cheese factory, a chocolate factory and a honey boutique… but it was Sunday. Everything is closed on Sunday. So we kept going to our next stop, The Stone Store where we would also find the Honey House Cafe and the Pear Tree restaurant. All located along the Kerikeri River and all closed apart from the Pear Tree. But it didn’t matter because the area was just beautiful. We spent some time here exploring and taking photos.
It was nearing the end of the day and we wanted to visit the Rainbow Falls before sunset. And beautiful falls they are. I really like one that show the length of the falls. I took one photo from both lookouts and headed back to the camper-van. It was nearing dark and we hadn’t found a spot to stay the night yet. We’d decided to stay at a free campsite tonight and the closes one was in a town called Kaikohe. About a forty minutes drive west of Kerikeri. The campsite was just a parking area suited for long vehicles.
Well, that’s it for day two. Hope to see you for day three. Goodnight.

The Lantern Unveiling Kawakawa (August 16, 2009)
A 3.5-metre bronze and glass street lamp and signpost outside Kawakawa’s Trainspotter Café is the latest addition to a growing collection of public artwork in the town.
It took Opua architectural designer Richard Smart and helpers more than 1500 hours of unpaid time to create the sculpture which was unveiled by mayor Wayne Brown at the
weekend.
Mains electricity will power lights in a globe made from kiln-bent plate glass, red lenses made from cast glass and a plate glass lantern.
Signs pointing the way to the Railway Station, Hundertwasser Toilets, Kawakawa Museum and Johnson Park will be added to bronze fern fronds extending from the
sculpture.
Mr Smart says the globe on top of the sculpture symbolises Earth, the future of which depends on the actions of man represented by bronze replicas of human feet and hands at the base.
We hold the keys to the future survival of everything living.
The full weight of the planet restson mankind, Mr Smart says.
