Was red paint on sale?

Brent David Hahaha. I just looked at this post and thought the same. Looks really odd, all the roofs the same.

Sure that is 1960? I was born in Moana in 1963 and while I obviously don't remember exactly I am sure there were a lot more houses there than that? Geoffrey Bell???

Maureen Sadler
We lived at Bell Hill in 1963 and I'm sure they had more buildings than that.

Victoria Sawyer,

Jean Gosling, this is what moana looked like 12 years before dad started building the batch

Colin McLeod

Moira O'Shea
Not 1960 - the Lake Brunner School opened around 1959 and it's not in the photo

Tony Kokshoorn
Moana School is to the right of the photo and the Mill houses are to the left of photo out of site. The sawdust is from the Sawmill that was one of Two in Moana in the 50,s. Not in the photo.

Pete Muir
Not 1960, Dad had a photo taken in the 40's and there were a lot more houses, they lived in one of the railway homes

I preferred it when it was quiet and not flooded by chch fizz boats. If you don’t want to live on the coast, then don’t just rock up at your leisure and ruin their way of life and raise their house prices.

Daniel Reynolds
Moira O’Shea I thought at first glance it had to be earlier than 1960 , there are only ten buildings there lol

Our old house is all alone, up that long driveway! This must be earlier than the 60s tho

Lee Williams
Yacht club buildings and boat ramp by the train station. Spent a lot of time there as a kid.. my brother was a P class champ. We would swim in the lake and the school pool

Tracey Anderson
Wow

Geoffrey Bell
This photo was taken in the 1950's and is looking in the opposite direction and captures the buildings to the left of Tony's photo. In Tony's photo the top left shows the Tennis Court and Ana St next to it. Ana St was quite late being built. In the other photo the Tennis Court can be seen, Ana St isn't yet built and the house on the corner hasn't been extended to include the shop. In the early 1960's I can remember, after walking past the shop towards the Hotel and past to the white flat roofed house in the middle right of Tony's photo, there weren't many buildings. I believe Tony's photo was taken about 1960.
May be an image of outdoors

Jamie Steel
amazing to think what Moana is like now .

Anne Hines
definitely not the 60's.....

Sue McCallum
Rowena Beaumont ur old haunt

Myron Caldwell
Probably painted by A.J. Whites aviation who painted all roofs quite a deep red. No colour photos then. a relative in Auckland used to do the detailed painting of the houses,

Myron Caldwell interesting

Keren Bond
Bit different today

Mike Vincent
Dam it grew quick if you look at even 60s to 80s , great photo.

Garethferal Evans
Mike Vincent it's so bare it's scary

This photo has an interesting history. A friend of mine the Late Keith Klempel and I borrowed a large photo from another Late Friend Johnny Grant from the Arnold Valley, who told us the photo was taken of Moana in 1960. If you look at the big saw dust pile in the photo the sawmill is absent. That sawmill ceased operating about 1960. We built a Bach on that sawdust site in 1997 and the following photos I am posting are of the gardens we developed, fertilised by the sawdust. The gardens never needed any fertiliser over the past 25 years. Sadly that night after Keith reproduced the photo he passed away.
Joan Orchard
Alan and I bought the Station Masters House in 1968 for 810 dollars and paid 40 dollars a year for the quarter acre land lease to the railways. We eventually bought the land and spent several years doing the property up. The house is now the restaurant. Still has the 2 large front windows we installed.
