The blaketown ,blackball bus was New Zealand railways buses

The Blackball Taylorville school bus was shared with the public it was the first to arrive at GHS and last to leave, long day especially for the moonlight students. The bus stopped there to pick up passengers a bit crowded on Fridays there was a second hand bookshop and the ABC quicklunch I don’t remember the butcher so could have been before 1978

Geoffrey King
Gary Glasson I think the book shop was run by Pat Taylor who use to be a reporter for the Press along with Les Guiney.

Colin Skates
Geoffrey King Dead right Geoffrey and the two said gentlemen loved to share a drink in your hotel especially on friday nights

Maxine Helmling
