Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 28th December 1965 ""Come on in the water: it's fine" say Loraine and Shirley Valentine, who, with their parents, of Palmerston North, are spending the Christmas and New Year holiday period camping at the Pohangina Valley Reserve. Sheltered from all winds, many families spent Boxing Day picnicking and bathing, or just sunbathing, at the Pohangina Valley Domain."
