Description: A long row of huts and tents, with sea in the left background and a flank of Mt Egmont in the right background. According to Cowan's caption for this picture: This encampment was an historic one, for it was the first Armed Constabulary position taken up after moving camp from Stony River (the Hangatahua), when forming the coast road southward to Opunake, in pursuance of the Government's decision to occupy the confiscated territory between Stony River and the Wai-ngongoro. Colonel Roberts (then Major) commanded the force. A ditch and bank protected the guard-tent on the left of the picture. A guard-tent on a mound on the right [not shown in the copy in Cowan but shown in the ink original] was similarly entrenched. The Waikino Stream flowed in rear of the camp.
