Harold Newby,rabbit shooting at Kopara .ca 1974.

About this image

DescriptionThis is my Dad rabbit shooting at Kopara, with his dog, Skip.
He used to take us rabbit shooting sometimes out Kokatahi way and he would stop at the pub in Kumara on a Sunday and we would go through the back door and have a raspberry and lemonade. There was always about 4-5 old men sitting at the bar chatting away to each other.Date of Photo1969-1974.Map^[1]ContributorHeather Newby
