Waiuta jubilee

Image

Whether they came from along the road or far away, everybody attending Waiuta’s 1931 jubilee strictly observed the dress code of the day. They included Tony Anisy, in the front centre with moustache and wing collar, a familiar figure in the town's earliest days, when trudged the muddy streets hawking goods from a large portmanteau. This was one of those rare times when Divis looked as if he had only just beaten the shutter timer in his bid to be in the photo.
