Opunake, Taranaki, New Zealand, Dec 2011: I was taking a “tiki-tour” down the coast road- Surf Highway 45– the other day from New Plymouth to Hawera. There’s many interesting sites, many of these being abandoned buildings…
I’m unsure what this particular building used to be, it looked like a funeral parlour to me. But my father- who has an amazing general and local knowledge- thinks this used to be the former Opunake courthouse… Canon EOS 30D/18-55is

Another great find! Man, these abandoned buildings have so many stories to tell…it really blows my mind thinking about it. Fantastic shot, Fergus.
Thanks cv. Plenty of abandoned building shots coming up. Taranaki seems to have an abundance of them..
