Raurimu Rex – the driftwood dinosaur on the main highway at Raurimu is worth a photo, he now has a local friend in the shape of a Kiwi at the beginning of Findlay Street in national Park Village. These sculptures are created by a local artist and none of the wood used is modified in anyway, very clever.

When driving to the Central North, the route through the King Country (Te Awamutu, Te Kuiti, and Taumaranui) is a nice alternative to SH1. Nice scenery.
