Kawakawa · Kawakawa

Kawakawa is the Bay of Islands service town famous for the Hundertwasser public toilets, the Austrian artist's only building in the southern hemisphere and a Category 1 heritage listing that draws visitors by the busload. It is also the one place in New Zealand where a heritage steam train still rolls straight down the middle of the main street. Behind the photo stops it remains a working Northland town serving the surrounding farms and the road north to Paihia.
