Cousins at the Botanical gardens
Cousins at the Botanical gardens
"Cousins at the Botanical gardens. Note there are only two boys in the photo. Rodney Cooper on the left and Perter Harkess. The woman back row middle is Edith Sergison and her sister Hilda Harkess is right on the end. These women were Hustons. The children are first cousins, Sergisons, Judge and Harkess. They took the Lyttelton train to Christchurch and then walked to the Gardens carrying all their food and drink. The Botanical gardens was well frequented by families. Peter fell into the Avon after this photo and his mother had no change of clothes for him." - Contributor's note
