Photo: Beach Bulldozers Ngawi New Zealand

Beautiful colored bulldozers along the beach of Ngawi, New Zealand used to haul the boats out of the water.

Each of these colorful bulldozers have a name, the green one being Kermit and one of the pink ones called Tinky Winky. These bulldozers are used along the beach in Ngawi on the North Island of New Zealand to help boats get in and out of the water.

Rough waters and the rocky coastline can cause havoc for boats at times, so the bulldozers will help any boats out of the water and off the beach. There is no wharf to tie up to and the beach is the only access to the water. There have been times when even the bulldozers will get stuck on the beach as the water crashes against them, but they can eventually get themselves out where vehicles could not.

These bulldozers brighten up the beach and are easily seen by cars and people due to the bright colors and the sound of them. The town of Ngawi, New Zealand probably has more bulldozers floating around than permanent residents.This close knit fishing community bands together and welcomes all tourists who come to Ngawi for the recreational and commercial fishing. ... continue below the picture...
