History of OLD Lower Hutt 1800-1850
Pre the first New Zealand Company ship Tory 1839 landing near Petone beach, Lower Hutt or THE Hutt as it was called, on the Heretaunga River was the beach and then dense bush.
Very few white people lived in the area, many were old Whalers.
Waiwhetu Pa was by the mouth of the Hutt and Waiwhetu Rivers and boats were able to navigate up them both.
A flock mill was on Waiwhetu stream about Fairfield area.
Does anyone know about this and the Porutu family?

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
