Does anyone have a ‘modern day’ equivalent photo to compare?

Thanks Annie Swain ... it really hasn’t changed too much then. Still need to be polite and share the road for sure

Annie Swain
I guess this 1953 photo was taken just after a flood damaged the railing - photo from westcoastrecollect

Lynne McBride
Remember that well

John Armstrong
Comming from Auckland in the 50s 60s would we have been on that road ??

Roger O'Regan
The rail made us feel so secure in the fifties.

Judith Whitehead
Robyn Casey do you recognize this road ??

I have seen the river up to the top rail of the fence one night when she was in flood back in the eighties
