Kohukohu

Kohukohu is the chief centre of the timber industry on the Hokianga river, and the Kauri Timber Company has large mills and offices at the township. Vessels of heavy draught can sail up the indented estuary from the Heads and find berthage at the mill wharves. Kohukohu has churches, a good hotel, several stores, hall and public school, post and telegraph office, and a population of about 300. The timber industry is in itself of great immediate importance, but it also means that as the bush is cleared off thousands of acres of excellent land will become available for settlement. Mr. Breidecker has a vineyard close to the township and produces many hundreds of gallons of excellent wine, and this industry bids fair to be eminently successful in that part of the district. The Hokianga Fruit Association has its headquarters at Kohukohu, and there are many excellent orchards in the neighbourhood.
