    Go a bit further into town (next to the station/Kiwi Road) & try to throw a gun boot yourself! The gumboot throwing line is there & boots are provided - a lot of fun! ?

    The statue itself is ok, but you may also try to throw the gumboot in the Gumboot throwing line, which is located in Huia street next to railway. We had a lot of fun there!

    I’m still not even sure if it was worth stopping.

    It is on the way from the village (when heading North) on your right side. I was looking for it in the village for about 15 min and then gave up...

    Cool to see if you're passing through, but nothing to go out of your way for.
