The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Ahipara

Ahipara is a gum digging district in the county of Mongonui, and is 224 miles from Auckland. There are several stores and a school in the township, and gum digging throughout the district is carried on chiefly by the Maoris. A weekly mail leaves Auckland every Monday, and reaches the local post office on Thursday afternoon. Ahipara is forty miles from the town of Mongonui, and travelling between the two places is done chiefly on horseback.
