Description
"After first arriving in Southland about 1100 AD the Māori developed a sophisticated culture, the Scottish settlers began to arrive in the mid-1800s. This wall symbolises the merging of these cultures on Southland. The wall, also serving as a wind break, is made in Ōreti Stone and concrete with some painted details."
