VV*3g± flew Sheep first came to tine Wairarapa AS we look at the great flocks of sheep that spread over the New Zealand landscape, it is fitting that we should remember the courage and fortitude of the pioneers who brought the sheep to this country and drove them to their holdings. Among the first to bring sheep here were C. R. Bidwill, Charles Clifford and William Vavasour. They purchased land in the Wairarapa from the Maoris and landed their sheep at Wellington from New South Wales in 1844. Bidwill, with two men and a boy, started his sheep from the Hutt Valley on the sixty mile journey round the coast shortly afterwards. A few days later, Vavasour with Petre and Weld followed with another lot. After tremendous difficulties and hardships at some parts of the journey the sea washed up to the cliffs and the sheep had to be carried the parties met on the banks of the Lower Wairarapa Lake, having Vl lost, it is recorded, “an immense number of sheep” on the way. Eventually they reached their destination, near where Martinborough now stands. Clifford and Vavasour later moved their sheep to Marlborough but Bidwill remained—the first settler in what was to become one of New Zealand’s finest sheep raising districts. We at Tattersfield are ever mindful of the debt we owe to these sturdy pioneers of our industry. It was their courage and faith that made it possible for us to manufacture beautiful mattresses and floor rugs from New Zealand grown wool.
