By: Rebecca Miles13th Nov 2021 7:15PMHi :) can I please ask if the Duncan Sutherland tagged in this pic is in the last row third from the right? I am looking for Duncan Campbell Sutherland train driver NZR Greymouth 1940s/50s married to Winifred. He would be my son's Great Great Uncle. thanks very much - Rebecca (Christchurch)

Helen Chappell Loved those picnics. We got on the train and travelled down to the lake. Most of the dads got plasted and the mums looked after the kids but it was an awesome day. On the way home we got lollies dished out to us and icecreams. Lots of fun - didnt do us any harm.

Helen Chappell Hi to you both as well. I went to the coast nov last year, over the otira, through Kumara, down to Hoki, into Greymouth to have a look around, then out to Dobson, up through Moana and over the Stanley Goodman Bridge. Just loved it. Have been in Christchurch since i was 17 and still call Dobson "home".

Lyn Wallace Great memories from the Miners picnics.
