Bra fence near Cardrona (2nd of 2)

Bra fence near Cardrona

‘Don’t forget to leave a bra on the fence, it’s a Cardrona tradition.’ No one admits to the practice, but until 2006 it was alive and well on this particular fence on the Crown Range road to Cardrona, near Wānaka. In that year the local council ordered the bras removed.
