Ahaura Carvings


On our way to Reefton recently we passed through the small town of Ahaura which is about 40 minutes from Greymouth. It is literally a very small town which has houses, a pub and I think a local store from memory. I stopped to take a photo of this tiny cottage which has alot of Maori and Pasifika carvings outside it. I'm not sure who owns it but it sure is unique.

Linking up with Through my lensTuesday TreasuresMy corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

Such a small building - the clock (and style) makes me wonder if it might once have been the local post office.

Quite an exhibition. Do you know if they're there permanently, and if the collection keeps growing??

It's a sweet cottage and great carvings, wonderful photo catch. I like knowing I'm not the only one who takes pictures of interesting private homes and gardens that we see. I never see anybody to ask if it's OK, but I always assume they wouldn't live in sweet, unique homes if they didn't want to be noticed!
