Hi girls - you probably think I've gone completely mad now. Well I thought I'd share these photos I took last November and a little story with you. Some of you may have heard of Friedrich Hundertwasser - an artist, architect and ecologist. Born in Austria 1928, he moved to New Zealand in the 1970s where he died in Feb 2000. Known for his bold and bizarre designs the Kawakawa Toilets (as pictured) were the last project he completed before he died. Kawakawa is located in the northern part of the North island of New Zealand in the Bay of Islands area. I have been fortunate to visit ths area twice and last time paid a visit (no pun intended !!) to these famous toilets. All locally sourced materials were used to build these toilets including those made by local students, including ceramics and glass. This has raised the profile of the small town of Kawakawa and there are on-going and further plans to make it an art-related town. Hugs Jan PS click on picture for a more detailed look at the pics
