Yeah some of them popped over here too to do a bit of off the cuff land settlement. Mercer, of Waterloo fame, being a General by 1850s has a barely inhabited village named for him, a few shops and a petrol lay-by now, plus a famous Dutch cheese shop! It was where he improvised a gunboat assault; a 6pdr (possibly) placed in a special built iron 'tank' (think water tank size) on a river boat, as 'artillery' and ran up the Waikato River to enfilade a dug in Maori position. The approach was too swampy (it still sinks to this day) for anything heavy thus the 'gunpits' had been unassailable until the canon forced their withdrawl. regards d
