Reference: PA1-o-386

Description: Photographs of New Zealand scenery taken by various photographs of whom Wheeler & Son and the Burton Brothers are identified. There are a number of images of Mount Tarawera and surrounds both before and after the eruption on 10th June 1886. A few other images show the volcanic areas around Whakarewarewa and Wairakei in the North Island; all the rest are in the South Island. Two interesting images show people transported across wide rivers by flying fox, one with a woman sitting in the `cage', across a river near Lake Wakatipu (probably Deep Creek or the Shotover, near Skippers), and one with two people crossing the Hooker River. Most of the views of people are distant views, but several near the end of the album show close-up views of men climbing on glaciers with ropes and ice picks.

Description: Mainly a series of holidays, tramping trips, and local excursions. The first is a trip to the head of Lake Te Anau and Milford Sound via the Milford track. It begins on the road between Glenorchy and Paradise, then through the valley of the Route Burn River to the Hollyford Valley where the party camped on the shores of Lake Howden. From there they passed Lakes Fergus and Gunn into the Eglinton River Valley and on to Te Anau, and then onto the Milford track to Milford Sound via the Clinton River Valley. Images on the way include Mount Balloon, Mount Elliott, Routeburn Hut, and Lake Ada. There is a view of Mitre Peak, Mount Tutoko, and the Pembroke Glacier from Milford Sound. The second series relates to a camping trip to Wanganui and the Whanganui River. This includes a game of golf and visiting friends in St John's Hill. There are views of the party's camp and a number of images taken during a canoeing trip up the Whanganui River in what looks like a Maori dug out canoe. Two other images in this group are of men standing beside the trigs on Mounts Holdworth and Dundas in the Tararua Ranges. The third series is of family and friends at home in Eastbourne and in the bush at Muritai; Girdlestone, a friend, and two women on motor cycles on the coast road; views of Eastbourne from the hills above the suburb; women on the beach and reading at home. The fourth series relates to a trip to the Volcanic Plateau during which the party climbed Mounts Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. There are two group photographs of the whole party, one taken in front of the Waihohonu Hut, and the other on the summit of Mount Ruapehu. The fifth series shows a party of men and women on a walk and a picnic in the beach forest in Gollan's Valley near Eastbourne. The sixth series is a record of a holiday to Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds taken by a group of men over Christmas 1913. There are views of the sounds and surrounding landscape, of Portage where the party stayed, and of boat and fishing trips that they made during their stay. The seventh series is of a tramping trip to the Orongrongo River Valley. The views are of native forest, the river and the mountains, and one of two men boiling a billy beside their tent in the bush. The eighth series consists of two photographs of the wreck of the "Devon" on the rocks at Pencarrow Heads, Wellington harbour. This occured on the 25th of August 1913. The ninth series is a group of photographic postcards of the Te Anau, Milford region, and probably relate to the trip recorded at the beginning of this album. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
