Tupetupe Station

Tupetupe Station, the freehold property of Mr. H. S. Ludbrook, contains 2000 acres and extends through to Pakaraka, with a frontage to the main road nearly the whole distance. The run originally belonged to the late Mr. S. B. Ludbrook. It is of a volcanic nature and, with the Pouerua station, runs 5000 Lincoin and Romney sheep, besides 750 Shorthorn cattle. It is stated that, in former times when the Maoris were numerous, the native owners had over 5000 acres of this property under cultivation, their only means of tilling the soil being the old Maori wooden spade.
