Description: A Pakeha male and two Maori walking on a rocky beach with cliffs and low scrub to their right, looking towards Palliser Bay and Wellington in the distance. Both Maori are in cloaks and are carrying taiaha. This work was given the title Turakirae Head by Library staff, possibly in the 1950s, 60s or early 1970s. Close inspection in January 1996 revealed a previously unnoticed title. Cape Palliser is a considerable distance from Turakirae Head, although along the same stretch of coastline. Modern photographs confirm that the site is Cape Palliser, and that the topography as recorded by Brees is accurate. The only modern change is a (probably man-made) pool half-way between the high tide mark and the cliffs. A copy of modern photographs of the same scene is with the watercolour. On verso: section of a manuscript map of Pauatahanui and Porirua Harbour, presumably by Brees. Pauatahanui is called Pawai Tang[inui? - paper trimmed]. Other Titles - Turakirae Head, Palliser Bay coast ca 1843 Inscriptions: Recto - lower centre over a sandy patch between the foreground rock outcrop and the closest Maori and rocks; in brushpoint and very faint and illegible in parts: Cape Palliser towards the Wairarapa. 1844.
