High flyers sculpture

About

Created by Grant Palliser as a city millennium commission, High Flyers was erected in 2002. It responds to the energy of the rapids in this stretch of the Maitai River.

The five kinetic stainless steel poles reflect the tones of this environment and the aluminium 'boulders' echo the river stones, symbolising opportunities, goals and achivements in the 'river of life.'
