Vintage weekend Whanganui

 It was a busy weekend in Whanganui...all the usual fun, music and performances everywhere, vintage clothing of all sorts being worn, mainly Edwardian and 1930s/50s plus a fair amount of Steampunk.

We saw the cars parked up in Victoria Avenue, met a local, originally from Canterbury, Kent with his Vespa and sidecar. Listened to music, saw some art...and generally walked our feet sore!!  Sunday was music on the Riverside and a quiet walk up Victoria Avenue...a nice chance to see it quiet and appreciate the buildings.

Monday, being a holiday, Wellington Day, there was the Soap Box Derby!!!























Sunday started with the Billy Webb rowing challenge..but that deserves another post!





















Racers of all ages and sizes!!



A marble run, marbles from the local glassworks of course!


And a walk back across the river to our "home"
