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.

Description: In the foreground are five men moving a log with ropes. Beyond them is a saw-pit with prepared timber and there is further timber cut into planks in the right foreground, with two axes and a jacket. There are two millers' huts, many trunks and tree-stumps and large stands of kauri trees. Exhibited in 'Two centuries of New Zealand landscape art' Exhibition at Auckland City Art Gallery, 2 February - 22 April 1990. 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. See 'The unknown Kaipara' by Brian Byrne, p. 165-168 for further information. Inscriptions: Recto - Chas Heaphy. No.8 [New Zealand Company numbering at top] Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).

Description: Shows a still dark green river with a virgin kauri forest, low scrub and flax on its far bank. In the centre of the view is a row-boat, with Colonel William Wakefield in top hat seated in the stern, trailing an oar. The other occupants of the boat are a Maori named Te Whare, a Rotuman named Saturday, Dr George Robinson, Dr John Dorset and Charles Heaphy. Heaphy is thought to be the fourth from the right, the young man with brown hair and a moustache. There are several ducks on the river to the left. The scene is almost certainly the upper Wairoa River, as described by Colonel William Wakefield ' Higher up, where the river narrows to the breadth of the Thames at Kew, both sides presented magnificent forest - some entirely of kauri in a state of the greatest profusion' (quoted in The unknown Kaipara by Brian Byrne, p. 166). Shows an incident that occurred after the grounding of the Tory on 19 December 1839. Painted after the event and dated 1840. See Wakefield, E. J. Adventure in New Zealand, vol. 1 p. 156ff. The boat was being rowed from Te Kopuru up the Wairoa River.
