EDWINA (Rotomahana)
Its Spring !! summer is so close – so I thought we needed some stunning woody imagery to celebrate the day 🙂
It’s not often do we see a woody with such scenery and with snow in background. The above photos of the 1923, Bailey & Lowe – Edwina were taken by Roger Guthrie & show her on the beach at Waterfall Valley Outlet, on Lake Wanaka.
WW followers will know Edwina as John Pryor’s old Rotomahana. Now owned by Dean Weatherall.

That 1939 reporting number will be useful getting through the anti-submarine boom and nets without the risk of being blown out of the water by the Wanaka shore batteries.
