Stonehenge

February 6th was Waitangi Day and so the archives was closed and we went to a place called Stonehenge with the McVey's and John and Jo Turner.  There is a old ruin in England called Stonehenge but a man had a lot of property in New Zealand and he was from England so he decided to build his own replica of Stonehenge in the Southern Hemisphere.  

The tower in the middle reflects the sun and the shadow will tell you the time  and season on the panel on the ground.

The markings are the signs that people were born under such as Aries etc.

This is located about 3 miles outside of Carterton.
