Triple Art opportunity
Amazing, arresting and aha moments are expected by visitors checking out sculptures on Gibbs Farm along the Kaipara Harbour.
Since New Zealand-born businessman and entrepreneur Alan Gibbs bought the property in 1991, he has developed his international art collection attracting gob-smacking interest from all visiting the rural retreat.
The artworks with an abstract minimalism genre simply mould to the environment as the emu stride and the buffalo play.
Helensville Citizens Advice Bureau is hosting its next trip there on February 21, 2019- but you need to get in quick to book now.
The fundraiser costs $40 and includes transport, a bottle of water and filled bread roll.
The bus leaves 9am from outside the bureau in Helensville’s main street and leaves the farm at 2pm.
Your gob-smacking day involves plenty of walking and spectacular views- so bring your walking shoes, clothes for any change of weather, a camera and a great big smile!
Registration forms are available from the bureau at 27 Commercial Rd from Monday to Friday, 10am to 3pm. Email helensville@cab.org.nz or phone 09 420 7162. The office closes for Christmas and summer break on December 20.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
