Description

Shows two men on horseback in left foreground, on the approach to a low bridge over a creek. Along the other side of the creek are toetoe plants. In the distance are three house groupings, with a range of hills beyond.

The view looks south towards Petone beach. H. W. Petre's house is on the far right, close to the western Hutt hills, while the other houses shown in the distance are probably along Petone foreshore. Petre later moved further north in the Hutt Valley and built "Woburn". Moreing's Creek enters the Hutt River from the west.

Other Titles - Moreings Creek Petone, Honourable

The Library holds the original watercolour on which this engraving is based at B-031-002, with Brees' title Petoni.
