In 1866 he returned to NZ and for the next 4 years was engaged in exploring and prospecting the south-west part of the McKenzie country. He claimed to be the first man to refrigerate meat in NZ. He became the prospecting assistant to Julius von Haast and between 1873 and 1893 was a permanent officer of the Geological Survey and then a Mining geologist. In 1893 he was appointed Government Mining Geologist and retained this position till his retirement in 1906. He was a keen photographer and invented the telephoto lens. He paid for his nephew Peter Shankland to come to New Zealand in 1909 aboard the 'Ruapehu' in the hopes he would settle to farming in New Zealand.
