A cumbersome old bullock wagon of the type favoured- for country transport last century made an unusual addition to the city’s traffic yesterday as it was towed through the streets behind a truck. A scrawled inscription on one side of the wagon ascribed ownership to “ Dad and Dave, Ltd., Snake Gully,” but this whimsical claim would be contested by the Early Settlers’ Association. The wagon was brought from West Taieri, and will be partly dismantled, reconditioned, and reassembled in the Early Settlers’ Museum as part of a centennial cyclorama.
