- Description
Ngauranga Gorge in Wellington, circa 12 August 1938. Shows a saddle, between the two white crosses, which will be removed for the new road. In the middle ground, small figures of workmen prepare machine access to the saddle.
This photograph was published in the Evening Post, in 12 August 1938, with the following caption "The Johsonville end of the big cutting in Ngahauranga Gorge. It will remove a saddle (between the white crosses) and cut out thirty chains of winding road. The creek is below the disused main road, which, thirty chains further along its old course, passes close under but far below the pole at the top of the picture. The new road will pass actually below the level of the creek in the foreground, but well above the level of the road on the other side of the saddle. Men are seen preparing access to the saddle, where machines will work more or lless between the two white crosses."
