Monumental Gore - Roadside Stories

A Manatū Taonga audio guide to the town of Gore and its monuments. Check out the Ministry for Culture and Heritage's audio guide in the image carousel above.

What do a leaping brown trout, a Romney ram and a guitar have in common? They all feature in giant sculptures in Gore, famed for its trout fishing, sheep farming and country music -- and for the excellent Eastern Southland Art Gallery.
