On Road through Totara Reserve

Description

This photograph is taken at the entrance to Foxton Reserve and shows the Pohangina Valley East Road in the days when it was little more than a muddy track through the bush.

The man on the white horse, left, is Mr Bill Oliver who lived at Raukawa, near Ashhurst.
