Having a picnic in Akaroa

1960s

An unidentified woman sitting and having a picnic on the grass near the beach in Akaroa while a sail boat can be seen in the distance.

Contributor’s note: “All of the photos were taken by my grandfather in the mid 60s. After coming over from Holland and working at the railways as a coachbuilder. His favorite hobby was making films and taking photos”.
