The bus has a black number plate so the date is not earlier than mid 1965.

I arrived in 1975 and remember parking outside store for a pie or drink. I also remember Derek in the early 1980s trying to dig up that roadway with that tractor digger of yours and trying to remove rocks as big as your digger. I think you where putting in the sewerage pipes in for the town. What a bloody big
Job then. Got a bigger digger in and even it struggled.

Good old Midland's bus, they built their own buses onsite in Christchurch.

The garage think would have been Frank Graham at that time. Ex Fergusons mechanic and author of book "Coastin Along"

When was the township first opened to the motor car?

Would the tarseal only be in the township or all the way from hokitika?
