Description Fruit Picking. Rapaura raspberry gardens. A series of five glass plates.

From a local history book; " Raupara, A District History", (DU420) we have learnt that these photographs were taken in 1913, on the property of William Robinson, Rose Tree Cottage, at Raupara. The book suggests it was probably the first horticulture venture in the area.

Information from photographer Gordon McCusker's index book (see Notes), and from Archives Staff.
