That's an attractive landmark, isn't it? It really catches the eye with its European appearance in rural Taranaki.

Great shot of the tower , Betty! Thanks for sharing the video too :)

Heidi R. said...

It's a shame, the tower is really a great attraction, but the traffic on the street is far too loud and annoying.
