Description: Four slab huts with raupo thatched roofs and slab chimneys in a clearing in New Zealand bush, with tree ferns and cabbage trees, as well as other large trees and dense bush in the background. There is a high rocky bluff to the right and tall hills in the background. Smoke is coming from the chimneys of the left- and right-most huts, there are steps leading to the central hut and the right-hand hut has a woman in a red skirt standing in the doorway. The top of the chimney for this last hut is formed by a barrel. Bush combined with rock formations suggest the Coromandel district, visited by Hoyte during the gold-mining era. The settlement is likely to be of semi-permanent miners' huts. Other Titles - Early settlers' camp.

Description: Shows a narrow curved beach below a steep hilside sloping down from the right. Two prospectors, one with a pick, and one with a backpack, walk away along the sand beside the water.

In the middle distance is a building with smoking chimney; this may function as part of the mining operations. On the hillside further away along the bay are several pitched tents of the miners' camp. A steep path descends from the slope above the building in the central distance. Location is possibly Shortland, showing the Firth of Thames in the left distance. The Shortland area was opened up in 1867. Hoyte moved from the Auckland area to Dunedin by 1876.
