Maurie McGrath
I would question the date as there a telephone pole is the photo.

Christine Hogg
Maurie McGrath the date is probably correct. First telegraph, Lyttelton to Christchurch, was 1862, Cook Strait cable was laid 1866

Stephen Wright
Communication by telephone was established between Bealey and Taipo in the winter of 1892, with telephone offices at Otira Gorge, Jacksons and Taipo.

Poor horses must have been tough going on them.
