Coastline of Arahura district, Westland, looking south with Mount Cook in the distance and a sailing ship offshore, near the mouth of the Taramakau River.
Similar images are held by the British Library, in a private collection in Basel and reproduced in Hochstetter's New Zealand (Stuttgart, 1867). As this version has the initials 'C.C.' (Cherie Connell), it is possible that she painted this copy herself.
Originally dates from Heaphy's five-month long exploration from Nelson to the West Coast near Hokitika, in company with William Fox, Thomas Brunner and Kehu, March-August 1846. They were the first Pakeha to visit the Poutini Ngai Tahu settlements in Westland and to establish Mount Cook as New Zealand's highest mountain.
