In August (1978) ARTHUR LUSH, B.E.,F.N.Z.I.E., died, aged 89.
When he retired in 1954, Mr Lush was a senior lecturer at the School of Engineering at Canterbury. Born in Auckland, he was educated there until he studied engineering at Canterbury, graduating in 1915 after practical work on Lake Coleridge power scheme. Early that year he joined the N.Z. Engineers, serving in Gallipoli and France. He was elected A.M.I.C.E. about 1920,became a Registered Engineer by virtue of "civil and electrical" experience and an Associate Member of the then N.Z. Society of Civil Engineers in the 1920s.
Photography was one of his other interests. When young, he had lessons from Josiah Martin in Auckland and was a keen photographer thereafter. The Weekly News published his photographs from time to time, featuring one of the Arapuni Gorge site on a full page. The Auckland Museum library holds a large collection of his negatives.
