Another in my Rangitoto bach series, bach 36 is leased by the Collins family and Alan Collins can remember sleeping in the bay window as a boy. The bach is made of pit sawn kauri and will be celebrating 100 years this November.

One of my favourite spots...behind the boat builders yard in Whangateau hides this old boatshed with "Hope" inside it. This piece has won a merit award at the Royal Easter Show art awards 2011 and is also for sale there.
