Changing the tyre

Changing the tyre

1960s

Changing a flat tyre on the way to Hanmer Springs on holiday with our grandmother Lillian Marker [on right] and a friend.

Winning entry for a collection in the 2015 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt.

Judges' comments: "These three photos told a wonderful narrative of a holiday in Hanmer, something that so many Cantabrians still enjoy today. We loved the sense of adventure and capability in setting out on holiday... and having to deal with an unexpected flat tyre."
