There are detailed descriptions of the Waitahuna and Tuapeka diggings, observations about transport to the fields, and on the process of digging for gold. Houston has also written up 'Mr B's Narrative' of the first rush to Gabriel's Gully, also titled "An Adventure in Going to and Returning from the Otago Gold Fields".
The second part of the manuscript titled 'Tour in Otago, New Zealand, 1864/65' contains descriptions of Taiaroa Head and Dunedin Harbour, Port Chalmers and Dunedin 'City'. There are sections commenting on Dunedin's legislation, house fires, streets, vehicles & stables, vegetation, police, churches, business failures, trade depression and food prices. Houston also provides a dictionary of colonial phrases and comments on other sections of his stage coach journey south to: Taieri Bridge, Tokomairiro, the Clutha River and Balclutha, Warepa district, and the Kaihiku Ranges. It is interspersed with observations on soil fertility, vegetation eg. the Tutu vine, and farming.
The folder contains a photograph of Gabriel's Gully, Map of Queenstown area, 1864, 1865 map of Otago and other illustrations, and 'Reports of the the Mining Surveyors for the quarter ending June, 1864' / Province of Otago.
