 Join us on a journey through to the picturesque town of Te Aroha for a day filled with art, culture, and delicious food. We'll start our adventure by departing from Tauranga and enjoying a relaxing morning tea along the way. Our next stop is the Art Gallery of Adrian Worsley, where he'll give us an exclusive talk about his fascinating iron sculptures. Adrian designs and constructs unique one-off sculptures from recycling scrap metal, tools and farm implements sourced locally around New Zealand. Whilst here we'll take the opportunity to explore the gallery and admire Adrian's unique and stunning artworks which are also located throughout Te Aroha Township. For lunch, we'll head over to The Old Forge Kitchen located outside of town in Te Aroha West for a mouth-watering catered buffet lunch with tea and coffee station. The café has been rebuilt using recycled timber and materials reclaimed from the historic antique trade store was once located there. After lunch, we'll take a drive through the charming town of Morrinsville, where we'll have fun spotting the many decorated cows that can be found along Thames Street. We will be joined by a local guide who will explain how these life-sized cow sculptures are scattered throughout the town. Each cow is painted with a different theme, making them a fun and interesting sightseeing activity. As the day comes to a close, we'll depart for back for home and reflect on the memories we've made on this exciting and inspiring day trip.
