View from where Moreing's Creek enters the Hutt River, looking south towards Petone, with the Western Hills to the right. H. W. Petre's house is the furthest house to the far right and the other houses are spread along Petone foreshore. Two horsemen about to cross the bridge over the creek, a Maori man on the far side of the creek and flax lining both river and creek. The central large house may be the Queen's Head Inn

Petre's house on the right is likely to be his first home at Petone, rather than his second built at Woburn, which was further into the valley and on the other side of the Hutt River.
