Actually maybe it isn’t but it looks very similar!

No. 2 definitely is Mangonui in the Far North.

Thanks Lucy. It certainly looks to be Kuaotunu.

According to Papers Past (http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=HNS18961020.2.30.4), photo 10 may be Kuaotunu, where Tammadge and McSheffrey’s store was destroyed in a fire in October 1896.

N0 2 could be the wharf at Point Howard in Wellington Harbour.

Rebecca - it is definately Ravensbourne (see above) but the date is uncertain. They could be telegrah lines which were installed between Dunedin and Port Chalmers soon after the Chch to Lyttleton lines were put up in 1862.

Thanks Sue McMillan - I agree that it is Ravensbourne. Looking at the buildings below the church (which seems to have gone now) - there is the Post Office and the old Coronation Town Hall with the site between occupied now by the Lodge Maori No 105. You can also see the two shops back towards Dunedin still there as well.
