Manorburn dam history
I’ve been fishing through my families old photo albums and found the following photos of the Manorburn dam from the past that some of you may find interesting.


From left: Lynn McArthur, Ronald Hellyer, Pamela Hopkins, John Hellyer, Ken Hellyer and Robyn Reid on the central basin of the Manorburn dam in 1954. The hand writing is courtesy of my Nana.


From left is Ronald Hellyer, Ken Hellyer, some random guy, Phylis Hellyer and John Hellyer on the Manorburn dam in 1952.

Ken Hellyer. I think this is the Manorburn dam, but I'm not entirely sure which part. It may have been somewhere else, but I'm not sure where that would be. I'm guessing this is some time around 1970.

This is my brother Scott Hellyer on the tiny ice cube they called a rink which sat beside the Manorburn dam. This would have been around 1984 I think.

Pink Warriors
I was/am supposed to be playing for the Soft Sticks field hockey team. Except I decided to dislocate my shoulder last week instead
The opposition for the day were ‘Out 2 Score’. Unfortunately my batteries were running on empty so I couldn’t load up the LCD screen to change the ISO settings/exposures so the pictures are all messed up and then it ran totally flat after only taking a few shots
Hopefully I’ll get some better shots next time.

Mum and Dad's 35th Wedding Anniversary
Some photos from my parents 35th Wedding Anniversary. Thanks to Scott and Marthah for organising everything and eventually remembering to invite me
The lighting was utter crap so the photos are a bit blurry.
My Mum (Joan Hellyer) and Dad (Ken Hellyer) posing for the camera.
The cake. It was a carrot one and tasted damn nice!
Siblings: Robyn Reid, Ken Hellyer, David Hellyer and John Hellyer. Or as I know them, Aunty Robyn, Dad, Uncle David and Uncle John.

Lehn Stock photos
The poster presentation at Lehn Stock 2007 was a good chance to network with chemists from other parts of the country.
A rather stunned looking Matt Polson walking in front of my attempt to take a photo of the Steel group from Canterbury. Matt used to be lab demonstrator many moons ago.

Rally of Otago
I went to see some of the special stages of the Rally of Otago with Scott and Marthah (my brother and his fiance). Lots of sideways action, dust, noise and excitement. The photos didn’t turn out too well, my camera lens got quite dirty and I didn’t realise till after I uploaded them

Orana Park
Family trip to Orana Park in Christchurch some time in the 1980′s.

The lions. You used to be able to drive in to the lion area during feeding time and the lions would walk around your car. Apparently they've stopped it these days due to safety concerns
