Photographs relating to Mary MacGowan's world trip

Mary MacGowan's journey out to new Zealand is represented by 8 photographs relating to Panama and the Panama Canal. There are some photographs collected during holidays in New Zealand which include views of Wairakei, Mount Ngauruhoe, Christchurch, Lake Kanieri, and Hongi's Track. Most of the photographs are associated with Mary's return trip to England. She left Wellington for Sydney on the "Awatea" visiting Hobart, Tasmania, and spending enough time in Australia to see Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. From Sydney she sailed for home on the "Orontes" via the Suez Canal. Groups of photographs record deck life and other passengers, the warves, people and places visited while in Colombo, Sri lanka (Ceylon), the approaches to Suez and a visit to the pyramids sphinx and temples in Egypt, a stop at Naples and a lot of photographs and some postcards of Pompeii, and finally views of Gibraltar including one of a Spainish guard at the boarder post.
