At the front entrance wall of the Visitors centre, a trio of sculpted nikau palms double as a water feature.
Clear resin fronds sprout from a copper-clad bulb above the building, with water falling through the bulb down the wall to form the nikau trunk.
They are linked to three large natural nikau growing on the opposite side.
Artist Maui ‘Atalanga ‘Ofamo’oni said he wanted to express the majesty seen in the richness of the vegetable kingdom.
