Description: Shows a view looking up the Huatoki Stream towards Mount Taranaki. 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. A road leads along the left bank, and there is a bullock wagon, and a group of men and horses in the left foreground. 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. Although this probably relates to an E A Williams image in the Hocken Library, it has similarities to the E A Williams watercolour at ATL B-139-006, showing the mill at the edge of the stream. 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.
