Taia Toia Mr Taia Toia, 86-year-old member of the Mahurehure tribe and Ngati Tawaki subtribe, died at his home at Waimate North. He was one of the old-time kauri bushmen of Northland, owning and operating his own bullock team. After farming for some years, he started the Toia sawmill near the shores of Lake Omapere. It was later moved to Okaihu East. After his sons had gained the necessary experience, he handed the sawmill over to them and returned to develop 250 acres of gumland at Lake Omapere to farming standard. He is survived by his five sons and four daughters.
