A place to call gnome

No, we didn't bring Gordon, our faithful garden gnome - he's back in Auckland house-sitting.

A random gnome appeared on an adjacent roundabout in 2004 and locals placed others nearby so he wouldn't be lonely. Now the whole thing's got right out of hand and it's world famous in Australia.
