The triangular tuft on the South Head bears by compass from it S. E., and East ½ East, distant about five miles; and the centre green patch on the North Head N. E. ¼ E., distant six miles: It is laid down in five fathoms water, the width of the channel on the N.E. being about ¾ of a mile. Vessels should pass on the north-east side if possible, but if obliged to do so on the south-west, not further than half a ship\'s length from the buoy. The Tory shoal buoy is visible on rounding the outer buoy at a distance of two miles, to which the course given in Captain Drury\'s directions will lead; it is in seven fathoms, and should be rounded only on the south-west side, where the fairway is at least a mile in width. From this buoy the bearing by compass of the triangular tuft on the South Head is S.E. ½ E., and of the centre green patch on the North Head N.E. by E. This buoy is also red, but with a globe beacon on the top.

PDF — Auckland Provincial Gazette 1856, No 18

After Parliament moved to Wellington in 1865, the Auckland Provincial Council sat in General Assembly House (depicted).

It was nicknamed the 'Shedifice' as it was large and drafty, with a leaking roof. First premier Henry Sewell described it as 'a great wooden barnshaped affair, which might serve for a Hospital, a Jail, or a Barrack'.
