You can see a wide range of Maori cultural activities here, too - so prepare to rub noses with your hosts, who will make you very welcome
Tirau - Jump On John
The township of Tirau have decided to make lots of things out of corrugated iron as their town 'thing'. So there are lots of signs for all the businesses made out of this. Also at the visitors centre they have some whole buildings clad in sculpted corrugated iron. One is a sheepdog and then their are two sheep. It is pretty cool.
We had a heck of a time finding a good spot to jump off that would have the corrugated iron sculptures in the shot. In the end we settled on this rubbish bin which was pretty solid because it is made out of steel.
Thanks to Mark Stinson for being the jumper and Michael Stinson for working the camera.
