George, arriving at Porangahau Station at just nineteen, quickly acclimated to his new surroundings. He dedicated himself to improving the land, breaking in new plots, erecting fences, and constructing dams to enhance the property. As times improved, his partnership with Paul flourished, further cementing their family's legacy. Like their father and grandfather before them, both brothers became deeply involved in community affairs. In 1921, George was honoured as a Knight Bachelor and served as a Justice of the Peace, reflecting his commitment to the local community. Paul, too, followed in the family's footsteps, engaging actively in local politics. He held significant positions, serving as the chairman of the Waipukurau Dairy Company, as well as vice president and treasurer of the Waipukurau Agricultural and Pastoral Association. Together, the brothers contributed greatly to the growth and development of their community.Wāhi | LocationPorangahauTohu Matawhenua | Geo Coordinates^[1]
