Harry’s farm was on South Manakau Rd and it was known as Mt Olympus.
It appears he was a keen golfer and belonged to the Otaki Golf Club as did his brother Lance. A photo with both brothers and Ralph’s daughter Barbara circa 1908 hangs in the upstairs lounge of the Otaki Golf Club.
The family emigrated to Australia from Britain (circa 1899). They sold their property at South Sydney Harbour to come to NZ in 1902.
