"We moved to Akararawa around 1945. Hec Poulson owned a farm near where the road started climbing up after a wee bridge on the way to what became Cloustonville. There used to be a school house near Karapoti Road. We lived about a mile from Cloustonville."

By: Rachel Sonius15th Feb 2017 1:22PMAcclimatisation Societies were established around NZ by colonists from the 1860s, with the aim of introducing new species of both plants and animals from the old world. Many committee members had links with shipping agents, so transporting flora and fauna was often cheap or free - apparently, with animals generally kept in cages on deck, a survival rate of more than 25% during the long voyage from England was considered a success! Some species were more successful than others, of course, with trout, deer and Canada geese adapting well to our Kiwi conditions, but sadly Atlantic salmon, partridges and European crabs did not. In 1990 the remaining Societies became regional fish and game councils then, eventually, Fish and Game New Zealand. (posted on the Upper Hutt Heritage Facebook page by Rachel Sonius, 26.2.2017)
