Morrinsville does not endorse this list by @nickbaker.digital. Long live Mega Cow. #creamofthecountry #morrinsville
In an attempt to lift the mood of NZ BSky, here are the 64 nominations for my "NZ's Most Underwhelming Tourist Attraction" poll back in 2021. They will all be on one thread but may take me a while to complete.
For each of the 64, their number is their eventual placing in the poll (top 32 only)

What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for pencil pushers like you. #morrinsville #creamofthecountry
An early contender for candidate profile of the election, I think. Matamata-Piako District Council.

Great to see our luxury butter being acknowledged where it counts! It's so good we shipped it 14484km from it's pastoral home. Enjoy, it goes great with marmite! #morrinsville #creamofthecountry
an account for the town this comes from quoted this as if it was an advertising opportunity and not an example of waste considering it's $15 luxury butter that was shipped 9,000 miles and not purchased before expiring
butter isn't worth setting the planet on fire
this should elicit revulsion

We are disappointed by the news that Lorde has once again left Morrinsville off her world tour locations. We have a great venue in the recreation grounds, with a fantastic history of events (Fireworks, Motorama, A&P show) #morrinsville #creamofthecountry

May the 4th be with you! It's time for Morrinsville's most famous Star Wars fact. Star Wars (1977) was never screened at the famous Strand Theatre on Studholme St, not for any licencing or political reasons; but because The Strand was demolished in 1967. #morrinsville #creamofthecountry

Did you know: New Zealand's first electric car charger was in fact, not in Morrinsville. #morrinsville #creamofthecountry
We think 15-20kWh and 130km showing, but to Pukekohe eats ~25% and round trip to Greenlane the other day left us with about 40%
My wife used to do Tauranga over the Kaimai on a single recharge at Morrinsville each way but there is still a charger drought SE of here & range anxiety has crept back in

We are monitoring reports of cattle loose on the St Joseph's School playground. We ask the public to avoid Victoria Street while we get the cows off the slide. Calf club isn't till October so we're just as confused as you. #morrinsville #creamofthecountry

Udderly fantastic! There is no way not to enjoy the pilgrimage, you can only make it better with a 'Pail of Fries' from the Crazee Cow Café @haydendonnell.bsky.social #morrinsville #creamofthecountry
Insisted that we detour from our family holiday to visit New Zealand’s most sacred religious site, the Morrinsville Mega Cow. Everyone loved it and did not resent me
