We saw the sun rise as we waited to board the plane at Tullamarine.
The plane wad 1 hour late leaving and we had to stay on the plane until the people with a connecting flight got off.
But we collected the hire car/bus and joined the traffic jam that is the Western motorway I asked hubby to take a photo but nothing in gallery so I guess it didn't work 😒
We met Jenny for dinner and a catch up and forgot to take a photo - today we have driven north to Whangarei. We had coffee and a break in Wellsford
The home of the lama for some reason!
We had lunch by the water and I looked fir a cache, no joy, then we went to see the Hundertwasser art gallery and museum. The building was designed by Hundertwasser and used mainly recycled materials. He believed in stepping lightly on this world.
The cupola on the top of the building
And a roof top forest of native trees and plants.
The tapestries are lovely
This painting is made using West Coast black on linen plus some find of fixative to keep it there, was very textural.
Outdoor steps to the roof garden
The front of the building.
I will around here as this post is very photo heavy and blogger on the phone is not happy.
Off to so some stitching before dinner.

Oh so envious! Hundertwasser is one of my art heroes. Love it all especially the tapestry's. Thank you. xx

I hope you are having a great holiday over here and ya know freezing ya bums off! Are you coming to Hamilton?
ReplyDeleteA great tour for us - thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnother great trip!
ReplyDeleteThe tapestries are amazing. Looks like you didn't waste any time seeing the lovely sites. Just as well you weren't departing Tulla on Friday. Hope you are having a great time catching up with friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you two took this visit and you've shared so much. I'll have to visit when you are touring NZ, if I ever get to come! The area around your house and Elefantz's are the two places in OZ I want to see - and a friend in Brisbane. What a lovely dream that is, and in the meantime, I have your photo shoots!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like the tapestries, or the Hundertwasser buildings. I like what the first sign you posted says. We do need to learn to behave, and I'm glad to see it isn't just Americans. We have saved a lot of nature in our national park system, in our national forests, and states set aside places, too, but it is a constant battle between nature and man. Thank goodness for those who began thinking like this more than 100 years ago!
Thanks again for your wonderful sharing.
I didn't realise I was so behind in your posts! There was so much contraversy with the building of the Hundertwasser (mostly because of the amount of council money that was being put into it) but it is good to now seeing it being enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour, catching up on your blog sue
