Manual lawn mower

August 2002

"Dad used the very first manual lawn mower he purchased in his life. This was taken on the pavement in front of his house. Mowing the lawn and using a lawn mower was a new concept to us at the time, since we had lived in an apartment before migrating to NZ. We never lived in a stand-alone house with both front and back yards and yet alone mowing the lawns." - Contributor's note
