#Foxton’s Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom (“the new stream”) is a joint Horowhenua DC, Te Taitoa Māori o Te Awahou Trust & Dutch Connection Museum Trust facility/ visitor attraction. Exhibits on local heritage, only wind-powered flour mill in southern hemisphere, cafe, & museum built around a flax-stripping machine. Tried Foxton Fizz: soda by chemists!

A pair of “Kiwi as” 🪧 signs. #Himatangi Beach is an official road so usual rules apply, but here’s the additional signage indicating sand compactness, inspired by the 🔥 risk needle. #Foxton is on the #Manawatū River; the riverside path had been recently inundated, thus was muddy. Hence this polite notice at a local shop!

Eight more days till #Foxton for the holidays. (Question: does anyone else remember the old Mikey Havoc & Newsboy bit about “Foxton - it’s the Fox Town” or did I dream that up?)
@thoughtfulnz That's why I'm staying in my little house and wearing a mask at the supermarket, even if I'm the only one. #Foxton
