My Grandfather Harlan “Bonnie” Anderson from Sheffield was a road worker. I think he worked through Porters Pass staying in huts along the way. Pick, shovel and a wheelbarrow.

Sun shining! Hard workers.

VW Yarrum
Nice clothes and shoes.

Roger O'Regan
What extraordinary and resilient men they were. Yet, if you asked them, they were just doing their job.

George Gardner
I forget his surname but that is probably the guy who loved in 'Jack's Hut' in the Gorge.
