Description

Shows two men in the centre foreground, one sitting against a fallen tree trunk, one crouched with hand to face. Behind them, at right a man raises an axe to cut a tree trunk, a fuel-gatherer carries a bundle of greenery and wood, and a man accompanies two pack-donkeys at left. Two men attend to a cooking-fire. In the background is a row of tents, shacks, a washing-line and a general store. In the right distance, masts of two sailing ships are visible in the port.

Date assigned with reference to dated picture of Hokitika Beach by same artist.
