Description

“The Camp, Natuatuacoko, Novr. 1879. M.B. Dovie.”

Photograph of a pencil sketch of Fort Carnarvon, the Armed Native Constabulary camp at Natuatuacoko, which was established on a hill overlooking a bend in the Sigatoka River in the kai Namataku country, between Keiyasi and Sawene. Fort Carnarvon was established following Sir Arthur Gordon’s “Little War” of 1876, in preference to the earlier camp at Nasaucoko on the Waitabucake tributary of the Sigatoka River.
