The diary has been rebound with the original manuscript pages removed to be replaced by typescripts. The original illustrations and title pages appear intact. The diary begins with the departure from England on 29 Aug 1884 of the travelling party aboard the `S S Doric'. The party includes Georgina Gertrude Anderson, her mother, sister and maid. There is a brief description of the voyage, shipboard life and ports of call (Cape Horn, Teneriffe and Hobart). Wellington is reached on 17 Oct 1884. The diary continues with details of a visit around Wellington township then recalls an adventurous journey to Foxton by coach, followed by a train ride to their destination in Wanganui. Next day the travellers continue to family properties in the Makirikiri Valley. The chief reason for the author's visit to New Zealand is for her sister's wedding on 20 Oct 1884 in Wanganui. From here she journeys with her mother to Wellington via the inland route through Marton, Palmerston North and Masterton. From Wellington they ventured aboard the steamer `Wairarapa' to Port Lyttelton, then onto Christchurch. The next big event is Christmas 1884 in Wanganui and the dairy reccounts their preperations for the celebrations and church service.
