Haurata had the privilege of having Mrs Honey ( a very fit 90 yr old )and her daughters to stay. They used to live at Aerial stn ( our place ) but unfortunately they had to move to Gisborne when the girls were young for education. It was fun seeing the old photos and hearing all the stories from the area.
