Description: Group of women and children alongside Climax locomotive 1650, at No 9 timber camp, Ongarue. Photograph taken by Albert Percy Godber circa 1925. Dated from assesment of the women's dresses. This image has been reproduced in three publications (as at February 2003): in "The era of the bush tram in New Zealand" by Paul Mahoney (1998, p 51); in "Rails through the bush" by Bob Stott (1973); and "The bush tram to the mill\" by Bob Stott (1981, p 51). The information given in Paul Mahoney's book suggests that this is a picnic party (as given in a pencilled inscription beneath the original print in Godber Album Vol 109, p 47 (PA1-q-102)); but Bob Stott suggests this conveyance was "used to bring bush camp families out to the relative civilisation of the mill settlement and the like".

Description: The Rev Charles Nelson proposing on one knee to Sophia Coates on the top of Mount Victoria, Auckland, on a windy day, with a flagpole with signal flags behind the couple. On the left, other men and women are struggling up the hill against the wind. The sketch is drawn to illustrate a letter written by the artist's wife Kate to her sister Anna. Sophy Coates is much taller than Mr Nelson. Her parasol is blown inside-out by the wind. The sketch forms part of the letter, which is on a single sheet, with writing on both sides and the sketch in the final section. Attribution based on reference in extended title to Charles Heaphy's presence at the picnic in question; style of drawing; handwriting of title below image. Date of 1874 or 1875 based on the fact that Charles Moseley Nelson and Georgiana Sophia Coates married in 1875 Location: Initially assumed by the Library to show Wellington's Mount Victoria, with signal station. However the couple becoming engaged were based in Auckland, where the artist also lived until the late 1870s. In addition, the Auckland Freemasons had an annual picnic on Mount Victoria, Auckland. Extended Title - He you know is very small, she is a "fine girl". Mr Heaphy will talk about a little boy sparrow and laugh, but she is much larger than he is. Sophy Coates and Mr Nelson, that is how it came about. Mr Heaphy was at the picnic so must know. Inscriptions: Recto - Title in Charles Heaphy's hand below image. Extended title above and below image in Kate Heaphy's hand. Likely to have been drawn while Heaphy was resident in Wellington between 1872 and 1878. Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Black ink on laid writing paper 208 x 130 mm (image, title and surrounding explanatory text) on folded sheet 260 x 208 mm Provenance: By descent from Heaphy's wife Catherine Churton to Marvin family of Australia.
