Date: 1844

From: [Angas, George French] 1822-1886 :[Sketchbook 1844]

Reference: A-020-039

Description: The interior of a limestone cave, with stalagmites and stalactites, its size given scale by the presence of two seated Maori figures in the background. The caves shown may be in the vicinity of the Waitomo Caves, near where Angas was located on 18 October 1844. The name Poukumapou is no longer in use, but may refer to Pukemapou, some distance northeast of Waitomo. Angas in his journal and in Savage life and scenes (published 1847) refers to fording the Waipa and reaching Paripari (Parapara?) on 18 October, both some kilometres north-east of the Waitomo Caves. The suggestion that the caves shown are in fact the Waitomo Caves, is possibly incorrect in that these caves were officially "discovered" as late as 1887 by Tane Tinorou and Fred Mace. 'Mr Lewis' is almost certainly Louis Hetet, a French settler, sometimes spelled Lewis Hetet, mentioned frequently by Angas in his journal. Other Titles - Te Paripari Parapara, Pukemapou.

Mr Springer of the Whanganui Historical Society writes (AT 13/14/1, 20 August 1995): "If you can get a copy of the old Lands & Survey NZMS 1 series ... sheet N85 WAIOTAPU, you will be able to see approximately where he was when he made the sketch of the Paeroa Road. It was probably to the northwest of the Paeroa Range and trig, facing the 'precipitous ricky faces' shown. It's about 13km to the northeast of Lake Ohakuri on the Waikato River".
