Waiuta in the early morning
Banked-up fires in the hotel at left and the mine in the distance are about the only signs of life in this early morning photograph. Although Waiuta had been established for 20 years when this picture was taken, it still had the look of a frontier settlement constructed of wood and corrugated iron.
