‘The level country at the South end’

This image in Adventure in New Zealand was drawn by the New Zealand Company draughtsman, Charles Heaphy. It shows land at the Nelson settlement near present-day Motueka, looking north-east towards the Marlborough Sounds. The cattle in the foreground were added to show intending emigrants that this was good ‘level’ farming country.
