Date Created12th June 2019CommentsSheila Haymackenzie: Where was this photo taken...

Marilyn Grady: Sheila Haymackenzie

Amy Haymackenzie was my Great Aunt. Surely you must be a relation.

Sheila Haymackenzie: Amy Hay-MacKenzie nee Pain was my husband's grandmother. His father was Henry, one of Amys sons. We use to live in Reefton but we are now in northland...

Laura Mills Detlaff: Ruth Naylor

Stuart McMillan: Looks like there’s been big flood

Valerie Robinson: It looks like a Karamea mill

Jo Currie: Graham thinks its Norris's sawmill where the Buller Adventure Tour's building is at O'connor's farm, Buller Gorge Road.

Jo Markham: Alan McPeake.

Jessie Guy: No definite answer yet Maye but an extremely interesting photo. Love the people standing on the bridge waiting for a miracle to happen

Geoffrey Bell: The bridge appears to be fully intact. The flood has washed away the approach and changed the course of the river.

Ruth Naylor: Flooding Omanu Creek Buller Gorge 1940.

Maye Dunn: Ruth Naylor thank you

Mary Kirkwood: Looks like O,connors farm, going by where the river is and the house on the left.
