Description

Karere Lagoon is one of the many ox-bow lakes along the banks of the Manawatū River. The original photograph is captioned “Mr Monrad’s. A lagoon at Karere with maori canoe”. The children are probably those of Olga and Viggo Monrad, who farmed beside the lagoon. Karere is situated at Tiakitahuna, between the Manawatū river and State Highway 56.
