Summer 1950-51
Here are some box Brownie photos from our family holiday at Christmas 1950. Noel and Stuart trying out the Bumper Boats at Caroline Bay in Timaru.
In those days the car was hoisted on to the deck of the ferry for the trip between the islands: Wellington to Littelton. Our boot was loaded with luggage and spare petrol cans to cope with the family of five in a 10 horsepower Ford.
One of the fascinating places we stopped for a look was the Hanging Rock near Fairlie, with its cave paintings.
And the extreme southern adventure on New Year's Day was to Half-Moon Bay at Oban, Stewart Island, for a swim.
Stuart was nine, I was seventeen, and Olwyn fourteen at the time.
