Some of the unusual fence decor we’ve seen around New Zealand ……

Children’s Toy Wall in Eltham (Taranaki) ….. the toy wall on Bridger Lane is said to have started when Fay Young found a toy car outside her property. She put the car on her garden wall so it might be found by its owner, it was never claimed.
Fay embedded the car into the wall and it started a toy story in cement that grew as children donated toys for the collection. Fay passed away in 2000, she generously gifted her property to the local community. The wall remains as a tribute to Fay and it was given a spruce up earlier this year.

Bike fence outside Missing Leg Backpackers in Mt Egmont Village (Taranaki) . I wonder if the owner has ever biked to Rahotu for a cup of coffee?

Hi, I was travelling from New Plymouth to Ruapehu in 2015 and passed a shoe fence which I took a picture of, but I can’t find what the location is called. Any idea?
Hi
Unless it was the shoe fence (above) in Mokau in the Taranaki, then no, we haven’t driven that way for a while.
hi, I’m just wondering if you could tell me the address of the Ross license plate fence? thanks in advance
kind regards
Leanne
Hi Leanne
The fence was at the intersection of Moorhouse and Aylmer Streets. If you drive to Ross on the Harihari Highway which becomes Moorhouse Street the fence will be right in front of you. There were also number plates on Roddy Nugget Cafe on Moorhouse Street. Happy travels.
