My paternal grandmother went to Kumara school and my paternal grandfather's family lived in and around Greymouth, Westport and futher north up the coast.

I took some photos of Kumara School last February, met some locals and heard that the last Honey had left the area just a couple of years ago.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283997964769045047noreply@blogger.com
