There are houses on the slopes on either side of the stream, a stockade at the top of the hill at the right, and a waterwheel and mill on the left bank.

The men carry guns, although a pair standing upstream could be fishing, and one man in the foreground could be carrying either a flag or a fishing net.

Probably the Alpha Mill, described as being on the Huatoki Stream, by Ron Lambert of Taranaki Museum (see letter at AT 13/14/1, 14 May 1997). Based on an E A Williams watercolour. Dated by date of E A Williams work at B-139-006. Inscriptions: Recto - beneath image - [Title] Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Pencil and watercolour, 135 x 210 mm.
