In its original form the journal covering the period  January to July 1847, exists as a pair of  handwritten notebooks in the Special Collections  of the of the Auckland City Libraries who kindly  gave their permission to transcribe and publish  this important document covering early Hokianga  and New Zealand History.  The transcription was
carried out for the Hokianga Historical Society by  Owen and Alexa Whaley.

The Journal is rich in its descriptions of people  and places on the Hokianga in 1847 and the  transcription is dedicated to the descendants and  all the people of Hokianga.
