Special settlements

Auckland province offered immigrants 40-acre (16-hectare) land grants, and under this scheme a group of settlers came from Bohemia (now part of the Czech republic) in 1863 to Pūhoi, north of Auckland. This photo shows the Pūhoi settlers at the 50th anniversary of their arrival.
