Gilmour Reserve Sculpture, Waihi
This is a pictorial of the development of a sculpture which will flank the entranceway to Gilmour Reserve and the lake in Waihi.
Commissioned by the Hauraki District Council, the project will take 6 months to complete. One side of the entrance will depict the
"Legend of The Ohinemuri River and the Taniwha" and the other will have a heritage theme with the mine rake train, Cornish pumphouse
and a period settler family.
