Ailsa’s Travel Theme this week is…SIGNS.
So here is a bit of a KIWI take on showing people the way.
First of course the announcement you are about to enter the best LITTLE town in New Zealand. My own Katikati.
Where the second of our friendly pukekos will tell you where to leave your car so you can wander around.
Once that’s done why not have a relaxing swim ?
Or take a wander along the estuary…where one couple left a sign of their love where we can all enjoy it.
While you get your tyres checked at this fella’s place.
Because it is a 20 minute drive to Tauranga...where there is lots more to see.

I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

I love the humor. The tire structure is more than just a sign – it is way better than some installation arts I’ve seen. š

I love that tyre sculpture (as I like to think of it) too.

I love pukekos though they have a bad name here…they raid nests and do lots of damage.

Yep Madhu – all is right with the spelling. Seems WP use the American versions in spellcheck.

“Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs…” Really like the tire sculpture entity. I would love to visit your town sometime, Jo. It sounds like the perfect mix of funky, artistic, eccentric and welcoming place!

I think you’d love it…and after the tour we could sit sipping cocktails on the deck while Chevvy runs around madly, Jack hisses and spits and Charlie climbs…well everything.
