Historic Eketahuna through the lens of aronimus.
Here we have an image of the bush being cleared in order to establish the town of Eketahuna. Way, way back in the pioneering days… aronimus did lurk in the bushes observing the locals. Much like David Attenborough but with an anthropological bent. With the application of camouflage, stealth and great skill he did take this shot with his trusty pocket camera. We see here in plain view, those classic tools of the early Scandinavian settler… the Toyota Hilux and the bulldozer.
Here we have another image of the Toyota Hilux Spray Wagon. That great weapon against the troublesome gorse scourge the moved in to replace the native forest that had been felled.
Tagging along beside is that mighty hunter of the wild New Zealand bush, the golden labrador.
