walking to the tram, Wellington Botanic Garden, 1950

The tram would have come from Karori.  The date of Sunday, 15 October and what look like tulips in the foreground suggest that new blooms was the occasion for the larger than normal crowd.  The building across the the road was later replaced with the Sharella Motor Inn during the 1960s.
