Shows two foreground figures seated on the ground in front of a panoramic scene of surrounding hills, several with rockky outcrops. There are buildings of a pa at the extreme right.
Mr Springer of the Whanganui Historical Society writes (AT 13/14/1, 20 August 1995): "If you can get a copy of the old Lands & Survey NZMS 1 series ... sheet N85 WAIOTAPU, you will be able to see approximately where he was when he made the sketch of the Paeroa Road. It was probably to the northwest of the Paeroa Range and trig, facing the 'precipitous ricky faces' shown. It's about 13km to the northeast of Lake Ohakuri on the Waikato River".
