Waihora Station, Te Karaka.
« on: Tuesday 10 January 17 07:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, does anybody have references to unmarried mums going to Waihora Station to have their babies? 1940's/ 50's.
Would seem an ideal spot, in the middle of nowhere.

Have thought about this and now think Te Karaka Hospital was more likely.
