My father Stan Price. We lived at Punakaiki. Queen Mary also collected the milk cans and took them to the butter factory in Greymouth. We often stopped at the Barrytown Hotel and the Punakaiki Tearooms as I remember. I haven’t seen this photo, so thank you for putting this up.

The back off this bus used to sit on a hill around Barrytown for years. Used to look out for it when we went out to Puni.
