A single-lane bridge across the Kerikeri River, about 2km north-east of the present Kerikeri township in the Bay of Islands. In the background is Kemp House, New Zealand’s oldest surviving building. The two-storeyed house was built between 1821 and 1822 for the staff of the Kerikeri Mission, established in 1819 by the pioneer missionary, the Rev. Samuel Marsden. The house, and a nearby stone store, are in an historic area known as the Kerikeri Basin, the site of New Zealand’s oldest town. It was here that the early missionaries met and made friends with Hongi Hika, the leader of the Ngapuhi tribe. Photograph by JULIANNE MYERS.
