We all felt blessed by the weather, the calm sea, Ian’s flags and the good turn-out for the blessing by Bruce Wikitoa of Rob d’Auverne’s sculpture Icthys. Icthys now presides over the foreshore, seeking the breeze, and attracting a constant stream of local and overseas visitors. This charming spot has been dubbed “the Village Green” by residents.
The description of this walk states: “From the Patiti Point Reserve. Follow the road along the coast behind the Caledonian Grounds. This is a popular spot for surfers. Signs guide you onto the track through the sand dunes….”
TDC’s Chief Executive Officer maintains a web page on which he sings the praises of a valuable asset to Timaru’s recreational facilities: “Patiti Point is a rest and recreation site, also offering BBQ and picnic facilities”. Actually the public bbq is a really nice facility, we’ve partied it up with students on a few occasions, sharing a big bottle of lemonade.
