 To its left, in about the middle of the painting, is a still-lower bush-clad hill, which was the burial ground in Te Putu's time and below which his home of Te Mata-o-tutonga stood.The present-day burial ground is directly above State Highway 1 and the North Island Main Trunk railway line on a steep slope.Parking and access is difficult, because the road and railway lie largely on land at the foot of the slope that has been reclaimed from the river.
