A Popular Railway Picnic Resort
(Photos by P. J. Rodgers, Petone.)
On Saturday, 23rd February, the annual picnic of the combined staffs of Lower Hutt Workshops and the Maintenance Shops at Kaiwarra, drew a record attendance of members and their friends to Maidstone Park—Wellington's beautiful rail-served picnic ground. The picnic arrangements were in the hands of a large and capable committee, to whose energetic work the success of the outing was, in a large measure, due. A feature of the day was a free distribution of toys and sweets to the children, to whom the outing proved a memorable one… The views shew: (top) the picnickers at Maidstone Park, and (bottom) Petone Railway Station before the departure of the special picnic train.
