Where is this please?

Stephen Wright
About 1.8km east of the present Lake Brunner Road turnoff. It's close to where Bill Jackson used to live.

Harry Jensen awesome photo i think i can pin point exactly where it is because of the mountains

Must have just rained. No Dust

Peter Armstrong
PaulAnthony Teens the car coming towards the photographer seems to be creating dust either that or it's blowing a lot of smoke. I'd say the other car belongs to the photographer and it's parked.

Stephen Wright
Peter Armstrong That's correct. It was a Mercedes which belonged to my mother's parents of Christchurch.
