Robinson, Thomas Edward, Settler, Walparera, Parua Bay. Mr. Robinson was born in Guernsey in 1862, and came out to Auckland in 1865, with his parents in the “Andrew Jackson.” The family went to Onehunga, but moved to Taiharuru in 1867. After spending over five years in that locality, they removed to Parua Bay and in 1894 took up their present property at Walparera. Mr. Robinson confines his energies in a great measure to poultry raising with a view to egg-production for the Auckland markets. The land being formerly a swamp but now thoroughly drained, the soil is very rich and well adapted for grape growing, Mr. Robinson is trying lemon culture, which also bids fair to succeed. He is a good artist in oils and an excellent amateur photographer.
