IN THE KAIMANAWA FOOTHILLS
A view looking northwest toward the Taupo-Napier Highway from a bush burn near the southern end of Poronui Station, which lies south of the Highway and east of the Kaingaroa State Forest. The Taharua Stream flows through the valley bottom from right to left to join the Mohaka River, this flat tussock country, between two and three thousand feet in altitude, being typical of three large blocks of potential farm land southeast of Taupo totalling 139,000 acres. Sheep and cattle are being run on Poronui Station, and the bush on the hills provides the market with a supply of native beech (popularly known as ' "birch") posts.
