A Pukekohe local was shocked to see a wooden carving on Pukekohe Hill missing its fern.
John Henry Longson visited Pukekohe Hill in Auckland weekly and was annoyed to find that the fern, created by master carver Ted Ngataki and his team, was missing.
Longson had previously taken drone footage
of the area and shared the before and after images of the missing fern on a local Facebook page.
He assumed that the fern had been stolen and wanted to inform others.
"I was a little bit angry but just more disappointed," he said.
