Port Albert<br />
Excerpts from the Reverend Vincent Binet’s diary.<br />
On 2 December 1932 they left Auckland by car, heading north via Port Albert.<br />
5 December 1932 Waitangi<br />
A local lady resident had the temerity and yet, withal, the generosity, to loan her rowing boat to the ministerial<br />
party so that General Hobson’s house, where the Treaty was signed in 1840, might be visited. Fortunately the<br />
present occupant, Mr Gordon Hewen, was available and kindly placed his valuable information at the disposal<br />
of the travellers, who were shown through the old house at Waitangi, and later we stood together in front of the<br />
house, exactly upon the spot where the famous Treaty was signed on February 6, 1840.<br />
Waitangi<br />
