Description |
English:
In 1846 explorers Thomas Brunner and Charles Heaphy, with their Māori guides Kehu and Tau, were travelling south along the West Coast of New Zealand. They reached Te Miko (now Perpendicular Point) north of Punakaiki, a sheer cliff ascended by ladders make of flax and rotting rātā vines. Heaphy (1820-1881) made this sketch of Brunner ascending, with his Scotch terrier Rover being raised by a flax rope. "The cliff overhanging slightly, the ladders are quite perpendicular and as several of the rotten steps gave way under our feet, our position was far from being pleasant. A number of cormorants and other marine birds, too, that had their nests in the crevices of the rock were screaming and wheeling about us at the intrusion".
