Toothbrush fence, Roadside art installation in Te Pahu, New Zealand

The Toothbrush Fence extends along Limeworks Loop Road, displaying hundreds of colorful toothbrushes hanging from wire strands in the rural landscape.

Local resident Graeme Cairns established the Toothbrush Fence in 2006, initiating a collection that includes contributions from Prime Minister Helen Clark.

The fence received international recognition after being featured in the HBO series Flight of the Conchords, highlighting New Zealand's eccentric attractions.

Visitors can contribute to the installation by mailing their toothbrushes to The Toothbrush Bucket at 294 Limeworks Loop Road, Te Pahu.

Following a car accident in 2014 that damaged the fence, the community gathered to restore the installation within a week, demonstrating local support.
