- Description
Section of the beach tramway between Karekare and Whatipu, showing a wagon of sawn timber drawn by a large team of horses, being carted across the beach. Photograph taken by Albert Percy Godber, between 1915 and 1916.
An original print from this negative is at Pa1-o-195 (Godber album vol 101, p 19.)
This image is reproduced in "The Piha Tramway" by David Lowe, where he says "a large horse team prepares to struggle across the Karekare beach in the days before tramway had been built". However, Godber was in this area between 1915 and 1916, and shows numbers of pictures of the completed beach tramway.
