Looking back on today to 20 January 1915.

This day the rebuilt Yellow Bluff Bridge at Ōtautau opened, after it was washed out in previous floods and a temporary one was built.

Attached are images from NIWA that show the flooding from 1913 and the issues involved with that. The attached photo of the new bridge that was opened this day in 1915 was kindly donated to the Between River & Stream book project, by Ōtautau local Peter Gutsell.
