- Description
According to Brees in his "Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand" p.34: "This view is taken on Section 28 of the Ohiro District, which is a very beautiful spot. If the house should ever be completed as the learned and tasteful owner intended, it will have a truly English appearance ... the section is moderately hilly and the soil good." Shows flock of sheep with shepherd in foreground, large house set back against bush-clad hills. The flatter ground in the foreground has been cleared for grazing.
Ohiro was the early name for Brooklyn hill and the area beyond as far as the sea
