Description

Shows a view looking in the direction opposite to that of A-050-030, with a house and flagpole (probably Governor Wynyard's) at the right. The ground is uneven and the scene is dotted with houses partly obscured by trees. The houses extend to the brow of the hill in the right distance. In the left foreground an Maori man in traditional costume is surveying the scene.
