Description: There are six general groups of photographs making up this album. The first relates to a surveying tramp through part of the the south eastern Rimutaka Ranges. It begins at Wharepapa outstation west of Lake Onoke (Lake Ferry). There are views of Palliser Bay, Lake Ferry, Wharepapa outstation, the surrounding farmland, and people attached to the station. The survey team's tramp into the mountains followed the Wharepapa River north west of the station and then up the Papatahi stream to the Papatahi trig. Here they set up camp which is depicted under snow. They then moved south to the trig on Mount Matthews where they again set up camp. There are images of tents, men, native forest, Mt Matthews, the trig, dogs, the surrounding ranges, and views of Palliser Bay. The party descended with their equipment via Matthews Stream to Eglington's Whare at Mukamuka. The second group is a record of a family holiday at Tokaanu and Lake Taupo.
