About this image

DescriptionMoe Bowes.."The guy with the shorts is 21 yr old Gary Hutchison from Blackball. I told him about what was in the pics and he thinks the other two are both now deceased if it is Maurie Gason and John Armstrong at Dingbat Flat, Waiuta. The big black pipe is for breathing air, the small pipe is for air to run their machines, The bar at the front of the box opens the other end to tip."
