More about this image
Corrugated iron is a classic New Zealand building material, but it can also be a creative medium. In Tirau, the artful side of corrugated iron is explored. Large buildings have been constructed to resemble a dog and a sheep. Sculptures include a hunk of cheese, a pukeko, a praying mantis and a cow pushing a shopping trolley. It all makes for an entertaining rest stop. There are cafés for refreshment; antique shops for browsing; galleries for gazing. At the southern end of town you’ll find a replica castle full of toys, teddy bears and dolls. If you plan to stay overnight, there are a couple of options for accommodation.
Functional facts: Approx. population 720, i-SITE Visitor Centre, basic shops and services.
