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.

Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy.

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
