Travelling east on state highway 83 between Duntroon and Oamaru, along the south bank of life-giving Waitaki River (the boundary between North Otago and South Canterbury) one is suddenly confronted by this piece of topiary on a grand scale.
First laid out in giant pine letters by Ted Aubrey in 1931 when the plantation that surrounds it was first planted. Always kept immaculate! Can be seen in Google Earth. Note the world's largest lily here on the left front - our Cabbage Tree. A row of Toi toi complete this!
