This train was tipped after an earthquake hit
Hawkes Bay. The roads were torn to bits so no one could go on them. It wasn't just Hawkes Bay that was hit in 1931. Napier was hit as well. You can see that the power line poles were are leaning and so were the fences. The little train would have taken a long time to get it back to the

station.

Labradors
His strong legs are planted firmly on the grass
His tail swings happily but his face looks like he is going
to cry.
            His rich golden fur is soft like a mink coat.
His loud bark echoes along the lawn.
His breath smells like a silage pit.
His slimy mouth reminds me of a wet sponge
