Mr. Charles Dunbar, Manager of the Porirua Asylum Farm, is a native of Morayshire, Scotland, where he was born in 1862. Brought up to country life in the “land of brown heath and shaggy wood,” he came to the Colony via Melbourne in 1888, and after a short time in Dunedin he removed to New Plymouth. For several years Mr. Dunbar was engaged in country pursuits in the Wanganui district, being appointed to the office he now holds in March, 1895.
