Founders Heritage Park, Nelson, New Zealand 🌍

Although a mock mill, with the exception of the sails, this is a fairly accurate external repesentation of Bush's Windmill that once stood in the centre of Nelson. Very much the signature building for the Founders Heritage Park, for which it provides the entrance, ticket counter, and gift shop. It also features as the park logo, which amongst other places is used on the park fire engine exhibits - rather ironic really since the original mill burnt down.

The sails of the mill are free to rotate in the wind, but the fantail is non-operational, so the sails always face the same way. Since the prevailing wind seems to be from the side of the mill (there is a quite steep hillside 'behind' the mill, which probably helps funnel the wind in this direction), this means that the wind acts on the side of the sail stocks, rather than the face of the sails - which actually results in the sails regularly rotating the wrong way round.
