Brave and Confident?

When I was passing through Tirau on the way to Tauranga a few weeks ago I decided on a comfort stop and to have a coffee.  This café is sited next to the Information Centre so I decided to see what it was like.  Excellent was my verdict.  What I also liked was their blackboard for customers to leave their comments.  It certainly showed a high level of confidence.

Tirau

On the drive from Napier to Tauranga on Friday I stopped, as is my want, at the small town of Tirau. It has a population of just over 700 and is an attraction for tourists and motorists traveling on the three State Highways that go by it.  It is an important junction on the state highway network.

Great location in the NorthIsland within reach  of many town’s and citie's
It is famous for having lots of things made out of corrugated iron.  Such as the Information Centre in the shape of a dog and the church's Good Shepherd:


The building shaped like a sheep"


Many shop signs of which these are a couple:


The school sign (which I've blogged about before for Heather):


I was, however puzzled by this sign:


...but then it was 2.55 in the afternoon.
