Pounamu Pathway

 


So recently in Greymouth a new building was finished and opened for international and national tourists. The Pounamu Pathway partnered up with the well known WETA Workshop to create a cultural experience through digital technology to show off the West Coast's culture of Maori legends, settlements, battles, explorers, traders and pioneers. It's all about the history.


There are also similar centres in Haast, Hokitika and Westport which are all linked together. 

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

It certainly looks impressive, we'll have to visit next time we're over.

What a great idea. I would love to see more of these types of places around the country, where we can go to learn our local histories :)

I hope I can get to see that. I have seen Weta Worship's work in Omaka by Blenheim and it is good

I love the carvings. Another place I would like to see finished is the new Paparoa National Park Building at Punakaiki on the West Coast highway. It was all under wraps when we were there last year.

An impressive building and it sounds like a good experience too. Have you visited it yet?

I'd be keen to visit just to see the WETA Workshop contribution. I'm a big fan of their creativity.
