The Douglas children learned a great deal in that space, despite the lack of electricity—Wimbledon Road was one of the last areas to receive it. Rona recalls using special candlesticks at bedtime. After school, the sisters were kept busy with numerous chores on the farm, and they cherished the time spent together, finding joy in their shared experiences.Wāhi | LocationWimbledon Road|PorangahauTohu Matawhenua | Geo Coordinates^[1]
