    Had a look at these photos.
    I think my father has some photos he took shooting Wye creek or thereabouts in the early 60s.
    Will catch up with him,check them out and if possible scan and post them.

    Have got around to it.
    Just took photos of photos in album.
    May have to consider scanning negatives but would be a major as dad has been taking photos since 1952 or thereabouts.
    These were taken when dad worked on Cone Peak station now called Kawarau Station.
    Dad and my Uncle walked from Cone Peak to Wye Creek assume they got picked up at the bottom Wye Creek.
    Have left mums titles in as they tell the story.
    The deer caught in the snowgrass was a bit unlucky as he got a couple shots whacked at him before one got him.
    Uncle was using .303 dad .22 Hornet.
