At the far end of Kaikohe this mural is on the side of one of the buildings. Although it looks a little worse for the wear to me it looks like it symbolizes the town/s history. I see the historical Aperahama Church which was built in 1885 and I see some Maori carvings.
I was unable to find some information about it but all I could see on the mural itself were some names: V. Whiu, J. Harry, E. Capilli, I. Wilcox and J. Paki so I'm guessing these were the artists.
Linking up with Mural Monday.

I like the sun rays coming out from the church -- it must be meant to symbolize a joyful place.
Very well rendered.
...a fun history lesson.
I think that is one of the most unuusual murals you have posted - designed by committee perhaps and painted by seversl different people?
The church with rays sure stands out, interesting mural.
This is beautiful, Amy and I enjoyed learning a bit about Kaikohe, too.
Those rays really make the church stand out. Interesting bit of history too. Very nice mural, Amy.
Lovely murals. Been out of phone/net reception since Tuesday, just got back to civilization... Thanks for participating in Monday murals.
