An historical record of the upper reaches of the Waitemata Harbour.

The subtitle references Riverhead's role as a vital transport corridor. During the mid-to-late 19th century, it was a crucial portage hub where travelers and goods transitioned from the Waitemata Harbour overland to reach the Kaipara Harbour.
