An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand

4 Wairere Block

4 Wairere Block.

This is situated on the eastern bank of the River Thames, and extends from the southern extremity of Te Aroha Block to Okauia, and inland to the western boundary of the Tauranga Block. The land is unsurveyed, but the probable area is 35,000 acres, about one-third of which is fit for settlement irrespective of the requirements for Native purposes. The owners are the Ngatihinerangi tribe, who are connected with Ngatiraukawa of Patetere, and the Ngaiterangi of Tauranga. At the time of the sitting of the Native Land Court in Te Aroha case, the principal chiefs engaged me to act as their agent in any future disposition of their land. I have not as yet entered on the question, but believe action might be taken and negotiations brought to a successful termination.
