- Description
A scene in New Zealand bush with tree ferns and supplejack. Four Maori are assisting a Pakeha man with his luggage, while he stands and watches. The luggage is being lifted up a low cliff face. In the background is a mountain and part of a lake or the sea. Possibly intended to represent Lake Taupo, with Tongariro in the background
Probably used as an illustration for lecture tours. The title comes from a description of an illustration of this same scene in 'New Zealand and New Zealanders' (London, F. Baron, 1868) written by the Working Men's Educational Union 'Illustrates the difficulties of travelling in the absence of roads, from the hilly character of many parts of the country'
