Mimiwhangata Station

Mimiwhangata Station, the extensive freehold property of Mr. R. J. Corbett, borders the east coast for five miles and faces the bay from which it takes its name. The area is 1692 acres, and, with the exception of 400 acres, is fenced throughout and subdivided into ten paddocks. Full half the property is of an undulating character, is cleared and rich in grass and graces over 1000 healthy sheep and about 150 head of cattle. Mr. Corbett forwards his produce to Auckland, there being monthly communication with that city, and obtains the best market prices. The homestead is a very complete one with numerous outbuildings, etc., giving an air of solid prosperity to Mimi-whangata. Puriri and pohutukawa timber abounds and is of considerable commercial value.
