Long Fin Eels- Tuna Kuwharuwharu

These two Eel's were part of the Sculpture walk at the Botanical Gardens. they were quite large and would be a bit terrifying if you came across them in the river while swimming. They were made by James Wright who is pretty famous in NZ for some amazing works.. this one is small in comparison to others he has made. Constructed from Coreten steel.. And would be pretty cool to have in the garden.

Really neat. Looks like the one on the Cambridge to Hamilton cycle way - I imagine the same sculptor.

Oh, that's clever.

Such awesome eels. They remind me of the Nicau Cave Cafe where that little stream ran through the garden. The eels in there were scary…popping up & biting Finn & Max. It freaked me out!

Very interesting, I’d rather meet them in the garden than in the water!
