From: Gifford, Algernon Charles, 1862-1948 : Albums and photographs

Description: Photographs of a group travelling in two Darracq automobiles, photographed by Algernon Charles Gifford. Probably a trip taken by Gifford and friends along Lake Pukaki to Mount Cook [in 1907]. Views show the cars on the road, fording rivers, and negotiating rough patches on the unsealed road. This album appears to be linked with Gifford albums 2, 4, 6 and 7. An undated article written by Gifford `To Mount Cook by motor car' (pasted in the back of Gifford album 2, at Pa1-o-182) was written for the Oamaru Mail. It describes the trip in detail, and this album appears to follow events spoken about in the article. The other albums show the party in the mountains, with mountain views, scenes of the group crossing the Tasman Glacier, and relaxing at various spots, including at Ball Hut and Malte Brun Hut.
