Toothbrush Fence

The Toothbrush Fence is a unique roadside attraction located in Te Pahu, Waikato, New Zealand.

It was built in 2006 by Graeme Cairns as an absurdist art project, and it has since become a popular tourist destination. The fence is made up of hundreds of toothbrushes that hang from a wire fence along a quiet rural road. Visitors to the Toothbrush Fence can deliver their own toothbrushes in person, making it a fun and interactive experience. The fence is a great spot for taking photos and enjoying the beautiful New Zealand countryside.

The drive to get to the Toothbrush Fence is through classic Waikato countryside, with views of cows, Mount Pirongia, and nearby bush walks. The fence is located at 294 Limeworks Loop Road, Te Pahu Waikato, New Zealand. The Toothbrush Fence has gained international recognition, thanks in part to its appearance on the HBO show Flight of the Conchords. Rhys Darby's character Murray Hewitt, who plays the Deputy Cultural Attaché at the New Zealand consulate, references the fence on the episode "Bret Gives Up the Dream" as a major New Zealand attraction.

Overall, the Toothbrush Fence is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Te Pahu or the Waikato region. It is a unique and quirky piece of art that perfectly captures the spirit of New Zealand's creativity and sense of humor.
