- Scope and contents
- The Waihou River in the foreground, with a pontoon-type ferry holding men and horses crossing it. A paddle-steamer and another boat to the left. Across the river are tents and a number of huts with the steep slope of Mt Te Aroha to the right. The tents are those of hopeful prospectors in the Te Aroha goldrush which began in late 1880. Shows the Waihou River with Dibsell's Landing at the foot of Rolleston Street, Te Aroha.
- Historical notes
- The landing, on the banks of the Waihou River in Te Aroha, was thought to be originally a crossing place used by Māori. A Mr William Dibsell, an employee of Josiah Clifton Firth, established himself at the landing in 1879 and opened a general store and a licensed house of accommodation. A Mr Everitt later established a punt crossing here, then moved the crossing to the foot of Bridge Street, Te Aroha, with a punt large enough to take across a wagon and team of horses.
