**madkiwi** · 6th March 2011, 15:07

Coming back from Warkworth today along SH16, anyone know what the big red fence/building is. It is just before Kaukapakapa.

Coming back from Wellsford today on SH16, noticed big red shed/fence or something, seems oval in shape when looking end on. Anywone know what is. It is in the area of Kaukapakapa, hard to miss heading west. Looked on Google earth and google maps but can see it there. On google earth there is a light square just over that area, is it clasified?

Christ knows but perhaps you should start another thread. Maybe in online trading?

Aye? How is this "just before" cowcop? The sculptures in the Plant Centre at the lookout are closer than Gibbs's sculptures.
We've gone from outside Kaukapakapa to just South of West Coast Rd/Woodcocks
