Unique sculptures made form recycled, reused and reclaimed materials and scrap metal. Adrian's gallery is one where you can touch and explore, even traipsing the board walks through the artists workshop. Be prepared to be amazed.

Adrian Worsley’s gallery and shop is something that needs to just be experienced. The moment you step into the inventory of all the scrap metal it sets the tone of the story he tells through his sculptures. Totally worth it.

Reviewed By L7588DUheatherb - Te Aroha, New Zealand
6 of us plus our dog jumped in the campervan and drove from Te Aroha to the Waiorongomai Valley. We parked by the remains of the old gold mining settlement and stream. It was a lovely day and we first had our picnic then waded in the beautiful stream. We had taken some stainless steel bowls so the children could try panning for gold. A lot of fun! Later we wandered up the track by the crusher. You need a reasonable standard of fitness for these walks as they can be fairly steep in places. Lovely walk and enjoyable afternoon.
