Shows a Maori man and woman with a child on the woman's back, walking beside their packhorse on a road at the left. The packhorse is laden with red saddlebags. The road continues into the foreground and curves away again to the right, disappearing into a bushcovered hilly area. The couple are passing a central rata tree in flower, and there are bushcovered hills in the distance. In the foreground in front of the rata is a pool or section of a river.
Location suggested to be the Hutt Valley, but may be one of the gorges off the western side of the harbour, possibly near the old Porirua Road.
