Spring Creek winds towards the sea in the foreground, and a large stand of bush is marked in with solid pencil in the middle distance On the verso is T. B. Collinson's pencil drawing [Tropical port with banana plantations] (A-292-092). This drawing relates to a privately-owned watercolour 'Part of Wairau, July 1845'.
