Two more small boats further up the river, and, in the distance, a house and a row of cabbage trees. Likely to be a river in South Taranaki, or North of Wanganui, although not as far north as the Patea River, given the small size of Mount Taranaki in the distance. Possibly the Waitotara River.

Description: Scene near Poho O Rawiri, showing the Turanganui river in the background. Waka, whaleboats and sled houses may be seen in the distance. Photograph talen ca February 1866, probably by William Leonard Williams. Inscriptions: Album page - above image - Poverty Bay; Album page - beneath image - Tura[nganui ?]ort Photograph taken near Poho O Rawiri. The pa at that time stood much closer to the Turanganui River. The sled houses were brought in from outlying districts in early November 1865. Leonard was living nearby at Waikahua cottage at this time, and could have taken the photograph before he left the district prior to the battle at Waerenga A Hika. It would be safer to assume, however, that the photograph was taken on his return in February 1866. (information from Sheila Robinson, Gisborne Museum & Arts Centre.
