	Charles Heaphy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Heaphy (1820 - August 3, 1881) was a New Zealand explorer and a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
		Charles Heaphy was just seventeen years old when he was appointed as resident Artist and Surveyor to the first New Zealand Company expedition to New Zealand, sailing with William Wakefield on the Tory and arriving in what later became known as Wellington late in 1839.
		Charles Heaphy was an accomplished artist and his watercolours are an important record of many scenes in the early days of European settlement in New Zealand.

		Occasional tantalising glimpses of the Heaphy River below are seen through the forest; the sounds of rushing water grow louder and suddenly the hut is reached, at the junction of the Heaphy River and the smaller Lewis River.

	Jacket 25 - Susan Ash reviews "Young Knowledge: The Poems of Robin Hyde," edited by Michele Leggott
		Heaphy takes for granted his capacity to produce ‘meaning’ despite the insubstantial and uncertain ‘weight’ of his own knowledge.
		And inevitably it would ‘misfire.’ The message extirpates a people as such, but even as his desire ‘voids,’ something else is done as well: something else is said, contributing to a long history of shame both in colonial and, tragically, in indigenous communities in the future.
		It would be all too easy to disregard Hyde’s account of Heaphy as yet another instance of explorer/ writer rendering a relationship of dominance between the seer and the seen, by situating perspective from a high place, assigning significance and value to what s/ he sees.

		Thomas Heaphy, who was in his day a popular and successful painter was born in London on December 29th 1775, in the parish of Cripplegate, and according to the brief memoir written by F.
		Redgrave's statement about Heaphy's origin agrees with that of Roget, that the painter was descended from a Frenchman, who, on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes* (1685) left France and settled in the eastern part of London, where many of his countrymen were engaged in the manufacture of silk.
		Thomas Heaphy, though he mastered the art of engraving, and was able many years afterwards to return to it and complete a plate of his most important picture, never loved the profession to which he was bought up.

		They followed a trail over Gouland Downs from the Aorere to the Whakapoai (Heaphy River) and also travelled the treacherous coast north of the Heaphy River mouth, risking wave-swept beaches and rounding huge bluffs using flax ladders.
		The track continues through a bright and vine-festooned forest, following the naturally tannin-stained Heaphy River to its mouth.
		The final section of the track skirts the beach and has both a subtropical and a sub-Antarctic feel to it; while the forest is very lush with many large-leaved glossy plants and vines, the cold sea is far from inviting, running far up the beaches and pounding the rocky points.

		Thoms was a prosperous trader, involved in many areas, but he still tried any work that might provide money.

		Arguably, Heaphy's Mount Egmont, with its radically simplified and symmetricalised profile, offers less of the natural facts, of the 'truth', than similar mountain profiles by the derided Hodgkins or Gully.
		Or, to compare Heaphy to himself, his 'Topographical' Egmont is no more or less truthful than his late Bream Head, Whangarei, where Brown and Keith say he has 'abandoned himself to the picturesque'.
		In fact, the latter work shows an outline far closer to that of the actual Whangarei Heads than that of the praised earlier work is to the actual Egmont.
