Rawene

Rawene, 182 miles from Auckland, is the original native name of the chief settlement on the Hokianga river, which also bears its old European appellation of Herd's Point, after Captain Herd. There is a small mixed population with no important local industry, the place being almost wholly a distributing centre, and there is regular communication with Auckland by steamer. Rawene has a post and telegraph office, court-house, three hotels, a public school, and a weekly mail service.
