The Re-enactment of Settlers Arriving in Palmerston North

Description

This image compliments a story that ran in the Manawatu Evening Standard on 13th March 1971 "The enactment today of early Palmerston North settlers arriving by canoe on the Manawatu River was disappointing for most of the 4000 people who lined the Fitzherbert riverside for the event. Only a few hundred saw any of the action." [The crowds gather to see the re-enactment of Settler's arriving at the Manawatu River.]
