Chris Booth Sculpture

Take the Southern Loop Track to see Chris Booth's stunning sculpture, Kaitiaki, which leans towards Ruthe Passage.

Chris Booth's sculpture on Rotoroa Island is an impressive piece, comprising three post-tensioned arcs of boulders strung together.

It was commissioned in memory of Jack Plowman, father of island benefactor Neal Plowman.

Inspired by wind bent branches of a nearby pohutukawa tree, the sculpture celebrates the life of an identity who had lifelong connections with the island and the Hauraki Gulf.
