Description

In December 1998, the Motueka Golden Bay News stated that: “…[the] work symbolises the gateway to the playground of the top of the South…the design shows the utmost respect for the flora and fauna creating an awareness of the environment. We are calling all the energies of an area that is plentyful.”
