On the way from Hamilton from the Coromandel
Peninsula, you pass through the town of Tirau. I didn't know that this
was the Promised Land. I'm always up for a picture of something big or
goofy. If it's big and goofy, that's even better! I love these sort of pictures.
There
is an area called the Wisconsin Dells that is the Tacky Tourism Capital
of the Midwestern part of the U.S. This is a terrible area of
wall-to-wall tourist traps and "big things." When the people from
Wisconsin were looking at my pictures, they would often ask, "What's
this picture from the Dells doing in here?" However, given the subject
matter of the building, there is no doubt that this is from NZ.
