Our very own Jon Moore was on hand this morning to witness the 'topping off' of the Hundertwasser Art Centre in Whangarei.

The golden cupola, and the stunning building it sits atop, are set to become another Northland landmark and, it's to be hoped, will put our region even more firmly in the travel and tourism spotlight.

We're delighted to have witnessed today's topping off and look forward to seeing the Centre open its doors after so many years of planning. Kia kaha!
