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'.

Collinson, in whose sketchbook this drawing appears. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - title and date and attribution in ink in the hand of T. B. Collinson. Bottom centre title in pencil, probably in the hand of Francis Dillon Bell Quantity: 1 drawing(s).
