This collection of 7 flood photos was given to Terry Alve at the end October 2022 by the grandchildren of Theresa's sister Martha. They were taken/posted to Tasmanian relatives by Theresa Alve (nee Wagner), possibly in 1930 - see newspaper 'Personal' below. Theresa spent that winter in Tasmania around the time of her mother's 80th birthday on 29 September, although we believe she returned home before this date accompanied by Nellie Bender her niece and a daughter of her sister Annie Caroline Bander. Flooding across the Alve's Rangitane, Manawatu farm was constant during the forty years Theresa lived there from 1917-1957.
