Awapuni Lagoon was one of 5 original lagoons in Palmerson North when pakeha arrived for settlement. It was later drained. Written in pencil on the old print are the words: “Awapuni Lagoon 1881. Returning to Pah from Waldegraves”. Note the old wharepuni on the right, part of the Awapuni Maori settlement between the Foxton - Palmerston North Road and the northern bank of the Lagoon. The people in the canoe are probably the Mr and Mrs W H Luxford and daughter.
