Description

Photographs of large groups of people taken on tours run by New Zealand Railways, using rail and road transport.

The album covers various trips taken by large groups of unidentified people, mostly in the North Island, and only as far south as Tokaanu and the Whanganui River. They travelled by rail, by road and by ferry.

Very few of the photographs have captions, but several are labelled "Commerce trip", and include images of farming, ploughing, stock sales yards, and a large group of men picnicking around a hangi (p. 14).

There are a few South Island views, including Lincoln College and Akaroa
