Description: View from Tinakori Hill, looking down over Thorndon, showing the Immigration Barracks, the first St Paul's Church and a single house on the shore at Oriental Bay. The view looks across the harbour towards Mount Victoria and Evans Bay. There are several dead trees on Thorndon Flat. Point Jerningham is on the left across the water, and there are six ships and several smaller vessels in the harbour. Two flags are flying close to the shore The Hocken Library holds a lithograph (possibly a unique surviving copy) of this view, published by Jones & Bluett, Wellington, 1841. The view is taken at much the same time as Heaphy's 'Thorndon Flat, April 1841' (C-025-010) Features marked along the top, but trimmed, so that they are all incomplete: 'n Houses' is probably Immigration Houses'; 'a Esq.r' is probably Duppa Esquire [house in Oriental Bay]; 'Church' is probably St Paul's Church; 'ia' is the end of Mt Victoria; 'Bay' on the left, is Evans Bay. Dating: the associated lithograph was published in 1843. St Paul's Church, Museum Street, was consecrated in 1844, but possibly completed some time before 1844. Other Titles - Tinakori Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Pen and brown ink drawing 206 x 307 mm Provenance: Collection of Alexander Turnbull, purchased 1915, from Francis Edwards.

Description: Kaiwharawhara stream and bridge in foreground; across the stream is a raupo hut and John Lodge's two-storeyed public house (also known as the Rainbow Hotel or Kaiwharawhara Hotel). The raupo whare is either one built for road-makers, or the immigration barracks built by Te Kaeaea (Taringa Kuri) to house Scottish colonists put ashore at Kaiwharawhara in December 1840. The area is shown before the 1855 earthquake, which raised the flat land in this part, and made the stream more shallow. The road up the hill on the near side of the stream is the Porirua Bridle Path, 6 feet wide. On the far side of the stream is the original Porirua coach road.
