Description: Shows G. F. Russell's house and timber yard at Kohukohu, Hokianga Harbour, with a ship and a barque, the Francis Spaight (nearer vessel) and the Bolina (on the left) loading kauri spars; and a row-boat hauling spars. On the hill behind is dense native forest. For many years, this watercolour was thought to show Horeke with Lieutenant Thomas McDonnell's house. However Maureen Lander's "Turnbull Library Record" article cited below proves that the image is of Kohukohu and of G. F. Russell's house. See Turnbull Library Record vol.22. no.1, May 1989, p.33-40 for an article by Maureen Lander establishing that this view is of Kohukohu and is accurate in its details. The view dates from a trip Heaphy made with other New Zealand Company employees in December 1839, looking for appropriate areas to establish cities. The New Zealand Company's vessel the "Tory", with the artist on board, was in the Hokianga Harbour between 2 and 16 December. See also the article by Brian Byrne in "Turnbull Library record" 1997, pages 73-76, identifying the "Francis Spaight" and the "Bolina", with evidence.

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.
