Every now and then the MenShed team escape.
This week the team headed for Cromwell. We spent much of the morning at the Goldfields Mining Centre. After a wander about spotting relics we moved to getting down to action. We had high hopes for gold. Unfortunately our panning skills proved inadequate. Better luck next time!
We stopped over at the Highlands Motor Racing Park and over lunch watched a couple of supercars do their stuff.
We were really fortunate in visiting the Hector Egger Holzbau New Zealand factory in which buildings are prefabricated. What a fantastic operation – the way New Zealand could move forward to create sustainable and affordable housing.
We then visited a local artist who carves his art from wood. Beautiful with a feel of quality.
One of our aims of the Wanaka Community Workshop is for our team to enjoy each others company. Trips such as this offer the opportunity to experience what is best in our region, learn something new and have some fun.
We loved it.
