The six pou which stand at the entry to Pegasus Town were carved from wind-felled Totara tree that once grew in Okiwi Valley near Kaikoura - the timber was gifted to by Te Runanga o Kaikoura on behalf of Ngati Kuri.

It took the carvers Fayne Robinson, Riki Manuel and Caine Tauwhare eight months to carve them and they represent the cultural heritage of North Canterbury and many of the environmental values on which the town is built. They ere unveiled and blesses at a dawn ceremony in 2008.
