The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District]

[Whenuakura]

This is the name of a flag station—the most northerly in the Wellington Provincial District, on the Foxton-New-Plymouth Railway Line—which is 168 feet above sea-level. It is five miles from Patea and thirty-six miles from Wanganui, and is in the Waverley Riding of the Patea County and in the Electoral District of Patea. Purely a farming district, with a population of forty-eight, there is a post-office where mails are received and despatched daily. Waverley, four miles distant, is the nearest telegraph office.
