Richardson Road's vanished pukeko


12 February this year, Richardson Road in Owairaka was graced by a pukeko ...



... and now, it's gone (image above by Cathy Casey, with permission. Thanks, Cathy!) The business is moving -- but now Richardson Road is pukeko-less. A pity.

Update, 7 June 2013: The pukeko is heading west, to Colwill School.

    What a pity that was a cool bit of sculpture and a great landmark to boot.
