Picnicking at Judges Bay, Auckland, 1965

Family groups picnic at Judges Bay, Parnell, Auckland, in January 1965. By the 1960s picnics were usually family affairs, as shown by the small scattered picnic parties in this photo. The private car, rather than public transport, had become the favoured method of transport to picnic sites.
