Barry,

From the attached letters, it seems Garry Hooker had a copy of the Deed of Conveyance in August/September 1981.

This would have confirmed his letter to Lady Aileen Fox, Auckland Institute and Museum dated the 4 January 1978,
that Te Roroa had no interest in Manuwhetai or Whangaiariki. He would have found, as you found, "That neither the
Manuwhetai or Whangaiariki areas are identified as reserves." The only reserve included within the purchase is
the 250 acre Taharoa area adjoining the southern boundary. (For Parore te Awha)

Barry, it seems your old mate Garry, with the help of David, may have had you all on all along!!!

A Deed of Conveyance is a legal document that can only be over-ruled by documented evidence, and in this
case, there is none. The Crown is not above the Law!!!

Regards,


Ross Baker.
