Driving Creek Railway and Potteries

Our one tourist trip in four months....Well worth the 35$ each for the trip on the railway...powered by the engine from a grey Fergie! Unfortunately we missed the exhibition, but what we did see was inspiring.

Susan Heather said...: An interesting trip. We (Max and I) bought a small dish there. I doubt it was made by Barry but I do like it.; 8 April 2019 at 03:28
gz said...: Jenny we just look at it as living there for 4 months...technically a holiday, but not doing touristy things. Meeting the real Aotearoa/New Zealand you could say. Not heating the house in Scotland for the Winter months!!; 8 April 2019 at 17:53

Maria said...: We visited in 2015! loved it, and loved the whole area (we had not long landed in Auckland and it was a great introduction to NZ).; 9 April 2019 at 22:05
betty-NZ said...: It is such a great little bit of Kiwiana and ingenuity, isn't it! We went a couple years ago and I was a delighted old lady who enjoyed it more than the kids on the train!; 10 April 2019 at 04:05
