The picturesque little town of Tirau is known as the Corrugated Iron Capital of New Zealand. Visitors may think it’s an odd claim to fame until they take a closer look along the main street. The eye-catching artworks of Steve Clothier adorn each building and few words are needed to explain what’s inside. Each unique sign tells a story – can you guess what it is?

I love “poppys,” “fresh milk,” and “alley cats cafe.” How interesting and what a claim to fame. 🙂

I love the cat (but them I’m biased!). How nice that the school has such a pretty welcoming sign. Cath
