This photo seems to be taken from the modern Dunstan Rd area on the coastal (East side) of the Waipapa river looking SW towards Manutuke.The village seems to be where State highway 2 now runs through Manutuke.The camera is about 3km from the coast at this point.There is a close up of the villege taken in 1865(Alexander turnbull library-Charles Westrupp's Forest Ranger Camp) at the same camp showing 13 rather sorry looking rangers standing in front of 2 whares ,3 bell tents and 1 whare under construction with a 2m high strong pallisade fence in the background.In the distant background is the same ridge and line of trees.This photo shows the completed camp the next year.
