Approaching the bridge into town over the Waioeka River
As you approach the bridge into town (from Whakatane side) the golf course and the residential area know as Woodlands, are to the right.Corner of Elliott St and the main shopping area of Church St
The main street carving depicts the historic lifestyle of the age from the arrival of white people. It portrays the progress of civilisations introducing agriculture, horticulture and trading. Schooners and scow were the main mode of transport to this coastal town. The essence of the 2 carvings at the entrance to the main street at opposite end of town, is survival, the estern one being a bird and the western, Pikopiko (frond) - the food of our forefathers. We already know we have a unique character. Our beaches are long, sandy and peaceful; the coast is rocky, picturesque and alive with sea life. We have natural bush clad ranges, DOC reserves and clear freshwater rivers. We are renowned for our friendly people. You know you only have to inquire.
Thank you for coming. Take care of our environment.
