Brick Bay Sculpture Garden

Another lazy day in Warkworth. We hung around home until the weather cleared in the morning and as the sun came out the blokes and the kids headed off to the river to go for spin in the boat. Karen and I had a little girl time on our hands and headed off to the Brick Bay Sculpture Garden which is part of a local winery and olivery.


There has been a lot of publicity and articles written about the place andbeing a holiday weekend it became busier as the morning progressed. We did the 1 hour long trail around the garden and then indulged in a tasty platter with a glass of Pinot Gris in the Glass House.
The trail wound through the garden which had clumps of native forest complete with loud and stunning native birds...loud and gorgeous, lakes and farm land. Quite different from a similar experience in North Canterbury I posted about a few years ago.
The art work was large in scale and featured the works of many well known New Zealand artists. The prices were astronomical and we didn't buy anything, not having 30K sitting in our wallets.
It was like old times hanging out together and chatting about nothing in particular and taking lots of photos, playing with our cameras and not being too earnest about the whole thing.
