In last week’s Photo of the Week, you saw the back of an Indian motorcycle with a side car. This week is the front view with photographer H J King’s wife in the passenger seat. In the background is the township of Moina, beyond the Sheffield district. H J King was the same photographer who took the picture of the Nut posted on 16 March 2018. Anyone interested in reading his biography, see link. What the biography does not mention is that H J King was a registered conscientious objector during the Second World War due to his Christadelphian faith.
