Description

Typed on piece of paper: “Weraroa Boy’s Training Farm. Man at centre, with cap and moustache, may be Superintendent Major Burlinson. Making eel baskets.”

A typed inscripton on a slip of paper reads: “Weraroa Boy’s Training Farm Man at centre, with cap and moustache, may be Superintendent Major Burlinson. Making eel baskets.” However, this photograph of a group of Maori making hinaki (eel traps) from flax under trees also appears in the McDonald collection as 1977.047.0037 and 1977.047.0044 with no reference to the Weraroa Boys Farm.
