Thames (NZ): Progress resiting the Captain Cook Memorial at Kopu

While we have been in lockdown, many of us may have forgotten the resiting of the Captain Cook Memorial east of the old and new Kopu Bridges. Thanks to Carolyn for the tip-off that progress has been made. The area is at present surrounded by a high fence, awaiting finishing in the near future.

The Captain Cook Memorial, on the ground north of the entrance to walkway over the 'new' Kopu Bridge. The entrance to the 'old' Kopu Bridge on the right.

 

The land has been levelled and a wooden boardwalk constructed. The Cook Memorial sits in the centre and is surrounded by several block structures, which I assume are seats.

The plaque and interpretative boards are yet to be put in place.
