- Description
Four sketches in the Waitaki area in October 1848. Top left: 'Paretamokai' (an uncertain placename) showing a man sitting at the right in front of a tent above a valley. Top centre right: 'A Korari hoe on a razeed taia' (a Maori hoe). Top right: 'Camp at Otaitai' showing a camp site near the foot of a cliff; Bottom left 'Damn specimens. There's grub. M.Malmanche ascending ye wata & finds three wooden turnips' shows Mr Malmanche gesturing indignantly in favour of cooking turnips, rather than keeping them as specimens. Behind Malmanche is a seated Maori man with Malmanche again at the top of a ladder, raiding a whata, or food storage platform. There is a large whare alongside. Bottom right: Valley of the Waitaki Tuesday Oct 25, an extensive view of a valley and hills with a small fenced enclosure to the left, possibly a grave site.
The place name Otaitai appears to be no longer in use. It is likely to be just north of the Waitaki River.
