Description: Mainly a series of holidays, tramping trips, and local excursions. The first is a trip to the head of Lake Te Anau and Milford Sound via the Milford track. It begins on the road between Glenorchy and Paradise, then through the valley of the Route Burn River to the Hollyford Valley where the party camped on the shores of Lake Howden. From there they passed Lakes Fergus and Gunn into the Eglinton River Valley and on to Te Anau, and then onto the Milford track to Milford Sound via the Clinton River Valley. Images on the way include Mount Balloon, Mount Elliott, Routeburn Hut, and Lake Ada. There is a view of Mitre Peak, Mount Tutoko, and the Pembroke Glacier from Milford Sound. The second series relates to a camping trip to Wanganui and the Whanganui River. This includes a game of golf and visiting friends in St John's Hill. There are views of the party's camp and a number of images taken during a canoeing trip up the Whanganui River in what looks like a Maori dug out canoe. Two other images in this group are of men standing beside the trigs on Mounts Holdworth and Dundas in the Tararua Ranges. The third series is of family and friends at home in Eastbourne and in the bush at Muritai; Girdlestone, a friend, and two women on motor cycles on the coast road; views of Eastbourne from the hills above the suburb; women on the beach and reading at home. The fourth series relates to a trip to the Volcanic Plateau during which the party climbed Mounts Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. There are two group photographs of the whole party, one taken in front of the Waihohonu Hut, and the other on the summit of Mount Ruapehu. The fifth series shows a party of men and women on a walk and a picnic in the beach forest in Gollan's Valley near Eastbourne. The sixth series is a record of a holiday to Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds taken by a group of men over Christmas 1913. There are views of the sounds and surrounding landscape, of Portage where the party stayed, and of boat and fishing trips that they made during their stay. The seventh series is of a tramping trip to the Orongrongo River Valley. The views are of native forest, the river and the mountains, and one of two men boiling a billy beside their tent in the bush. The eighth series consists of two photographs of the wreck of the "Devon" on the rocks at Pencarrow Heads, Wellington harbour. This occured on the 25th of August 1913.

Description: There are three general groups of images in this album. The first records a holiday to the Volcanic Plateau, taken by a group of men over Christmas 1912, where they climbed Mounts Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, and Tongariro. The story starts with the group outside the 14 miles stables where they hired a wagon to transport them into the mountains. The route they took was from the north eastern side of Ruapehu to the Waihohonu Hut situated between Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. They climbed Te Heu Heu Peak and then trekked across the snow to the Crater Lake returning to Waihohonu Hut and a dip in the Waihohonu Stream. The next day they set out for Mounts Ngarauhoe and Tongariro. They paused at the source of the northern branch of the Waihohonu Stream on their way to climb to the crater of Ngarauhoe. By the end of the day they reached the Ketetahi Hut on the northern slopes of Tongariro near the Ketetahi Springs. The next day they tramped out via Lake Rotoaira to Tokaanu where they set up camp on the shores of Lake Taupo. The Party then moved north to Wairakei and Rotorua taking in stops at the Huka falls and the Aratiatia Rapids. From Rotorua they returned to Wellington by train. The next group records a hunting trip into what is today the Haurangi State Forest Park in the south eastern Wairarapa in February 1913. There are views of the camp with Girdlestone's mother and another woman visiting. The area depicted is in the valley of the Turanganui River and the surrounding hills. Images include native forest views, a forest fire, hunting pigs with dogs, riding horses, the corpses of wild pigs, groves of Karaka trees, and partly cleared land. The third group of images are of social and sporting events associated with two houses. In both cases the sport depicted is men and women playing tennis. Other images include a child driving a peddle car, views of the "Devon" wrecked on the rocks at Pencarrow Head 25th of August 1913, and women and children with horses. The last image in the album is that of a young woman writing as she holds a telephone reciever to her ear. Quantity: 1 album(s).

Date: [ca 1914]

From: Macpherson, Beverley :Photographs relating to the McCracken family

Reference: PAColl-8577-1-038

Description: Group of people photographed seated on the ground. Groups of flax plants are behind them, and coastal plants in the foreground. Photographed by an unknown photographer in about 1914. Though the date of "about 1905" is inscribed on the back of the orignal mount, the clothes of the women are the every day wear of 1913 - 1918. I have opted for a pre World War One date (ie the summer of 1914) because two of the women are wearing the very large hats that, generically, belong to the period 1908-1915. On the other hand it may be later. One of the men is wearing a military hat, but then he may be member of the local volunteers. Inscriptions: Verso - McCracken photo at Ruspuke about 1905 nr Raglan Quantity: 1 b&w original photographic print(s). Physical Description: Gelatin silver print, 15.7 x 11.2 cm on cardboard mount
