Holiday at Rakautara, north of Kaikoura
Holiday at Rakautara, north of Kaikoura
"Christchurch families enjoying a break just north of Kaikoura at Rakautara. We pronounced it 'Ra-cow-tra' back then. [N]ow I know different and love working on the correct pronunciation. My uncle had a bach here where we took many holidays. In this photo the camera is set to self timer on top of the bonnet of the car. But the camera begins to slide off as the photo is about to be taken. Sally on the far right is positioned ready to make sprint to save the camera. Me (Susan) on the far left is hidden behind my rabbit. My mum behind me (far left at back) gasps as she watches the camera slide off the car. And strangely my dad has his arm around the waist of Ailsa who is not my mum. All the adults were friends and our photo albums show many summer days spent together both in Christchurch and away." - Contributor's note
