a few more signs

Sadly, the store didn't gather as much interest as their sign.

For those of a certain age.

Huh?

Waiting in traffic, I noticed this 'US' stamp on a highway sign. Weird.

It's too bad that this one is necessary.

This is how you enjoy the local pool and pay your dues in Taranaki!

Stu's pig farm on 309

Not your normal road sign!

Along the dirt road called the 309 Road, you can't help but find Stu's pigs. They are an unofficial tourist stop and wander freely across the farm and road where everybody stops to look and take photos.

There are signs to ask you not to feed them but they really don't care if you pet them.

Click here for a bit more information.

On our way through the second time, we caught sight of Stu, himself.

Friday Photo Journal

tiromoana road

Usually, roads are closed because there is construction. 

This road doesn't have any work going on. I can't even begin to guess why it is suppose to be closed. 

For a closed road, it sure gets a lot of traffic, as you can tell by the tire tracks. I'm pretty sure all the vehicles down this road aren't just being rebellious like we were :) 

It must be a short-cut that we don't know about since we met a few trucks on our 25 minute ride that only has about four farm entrances on it.

I don't think I have ever seen this many pukekos together.

And these wild turkeys barely noticed that we were there.

Casual walkway

I think it's great that public walkways are allowed on privately owned land.

"Walkway closed 1 July to 30 September due to lambing.

Beach access safe 2 hrs either side of low tide.

This walkway follows an easement over private land including land once taken by the crown but returned to Ngati Tama (maori tribe) under the Ngati Tama Claims Settlement Act 2003.

Please respect the landowners' properties by keeping to the walkway. 

Use the stiles and do not disturb stock or trap boxes."

foamy waters

I never get tired of seeing the waves leave a layer of foam on the beach. I think the rocks give the foam a distinct beauty.

As we walked around the coastline, Hubby pointed out this sign that had fallen down the bank. It says, 'Caution! These cliffs have crumbling edges. Please keep clear.'  I guess they were right.

taihape signs

I'm pretty sure these signs cannot be misinterpreted. The middle one denotes 'handicapped', I think!

In case you are curious about the boots in the signs, Taihape is the gumboot capital of the world!

Breakers Cafe and Bar

We ate at Breakers one night and the food was wonderful! This is a New Zealand chain that has a sense of humor!

quirky business

I'm pretty sure you won't see something like this in the city!

I never thought much about coffins, but this builder who is on welfare the dole is ambitious enough to try to start a business. Strange but admirable. I'm not sure this would be allowed in the States--too many regulations.
