On the face of the painting at the top, is "No. 271", with the N Z Company stamp, which is dated "14 July [18]48". Title is taken from verso Exhibited in 'Picturing Paradise; the colonial watercolours of William Fox', Exhibition at National Library Gallery 25 February - 18 June 2000; Hocken Library, Dunedin, 11 September - 15 October 2000. Curated by Jill Trevelyan. The Hocken Library has another version of this view, titled Port Underwood with Jacky Guard's house. A note has been added underneath the painting (probably by Dr Hocken): Jack Guard was the pilot of the 'Pelorus' and carried on business as a whaler and sealer. He was the first [Pakeha] to enter the south eastern mouth of the channel being driven in by a gale in 1827. Grave of Rangiawa (Kuika) native wife of Mr Wynen who with her infant son was found murdered at Cloudy Bay on the 20th Dec. 1842. The indignation of the Maoris at the acquittal of the white man who was supposed to be guilty of the murder is regarded as one of the indirect causes leading to the Wairau Massacre.

Description: In the foreground are five men moving a log with ropes. Beyond them is a saw-pit with prepared timber and there is further timber cut into planks in the right foreground, with two axes and a jacket. There are two millers' huts, many trunks and tree-stumps and large stands of kauri trees. Exhibited in 'Two centuries of New Zealand landscape art' Exhibition at Auckland City Art Gallery, 2 February - 22 April 1990. Exhibited in 'Treasures in Trust' exhibition to celebrate 75th anniversary of the Alexander Turnbull Library in 1995. The artist is likely to visited this timber camp between 26 and 29 December 1839 and the camp's location should be somewhere between Te Kopuru (south of Dargaville) and the confluence of the Mangakahia and Wairua Rivers, probably in the upper Wairoa, not far from Tangiteroria. It appears likely to have been a timber camp established by ex-Wesleyan Mission Society missionary William White, with a gang of Sydney sawyers, at a site known as Mangarata.

Description: View from Tinakori Hill, looking down over Thorndon, showing the Immigration Barracks, the first St Paul's Church and a single house on the shore at Oriental Bay.

Two flags are flying close to the shore The Hocken Library holds a lithograph (possibly a unique surviving copy) of this view, published by Jones & Bluett, Wellington, 1841. The view is taken at much the same time as Heaphy's 'Thorndon Flat, April 1841' (C-025-010) Features marked along the top, but trimmed, so that they are all incomplete: 'n Houses' is probably Immigration Houses'; 'a Esq.r' is probably Duppa Esquire [house in Oriental Bay]; 'Church' is probably St Paul's Church; 'ia' is the end of Mt Victoria; 'Bay' on the left, is Evans Bay. Dating: the associated lithograph was published in 1843. St Paul's Church, Museum Street, was consecrated in 1844, but possibly completed some time before 1844. Other Titles - Tinakori Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Pen and brown ink drawing 206 x 307 mm Provenance: Collection of Alexander Turnbull, purchased 1915, from Francis Edwards.
