Ōkahukura Peninsula

New Zealand

The Ōkahukura Peninsula, sometimes called the Tapora Peninsula, is the southern-most peninsula of the three eastern Kaipara Harbour peninsulae. The Ōkahukura Peninsula was occupied by Mãori prior to European settlement, with Europeans using the peninsula to mill and dig for kauri gum. In 1877 Thomas Henry Fitzgerald purchased the entire peninsula and converted it to pastoral land. Through out the 20th-century the peninsula was subdivided into smaller run holdings.
