_The Evening Post_, 30 Nov 1923:
FATAL ACCIDENT
CITY MILKMAN KILLED ON
WHARF.
As the result of a collision between a milk-lorry and a motor-tractor on the Queen’s Wharf, where the Nelson ferry steamer berths, shortly after 11 o’clock this morning, an employee of the Municipal Milk Department named Andrew Craig, a married man, residing in Taranaki street, was killed practically instantaneously. Craig was in the habit of serving the various ships in port and the Harbour Board with milk, and he was about to drive his lorry off the wharf, when the vehicle was struck by a motor-tractor. The impact was a heavy one, and the horses attached to the lorry reared up. As a result Craig was thrown heavily to the wharf, striking his head. He was picked up and taken to the Harbour Board bond store, but he expired almost immediately, before medical assistance could be obtained.
Craig was a married man, 50 years of age, and leaves a widow and family. He was a well-known figure on the waterfront.

More photos taken this morning while out riding.
1) One of our many wharfs on Tuggerah Lakes. 2) They are very popular with our pelicans.
3) I ride pass this tree quiet often, and I have never noticed it before today. Not far from home.
4) 4 trees with the same root system. I am sure very rare.
