The family reunion took place at Te Waimate on the 3rd and 4th April 2004, the exact date of George and Martha Clarke’s arrival in New Zealand – 180 years ago.
They first arrived in Kerikeri and spent the first six years as missionaries living in the Kemp House… Building the roads and bridges to their new site “Te Waimate,” the Clarkes were joined by Rev. Hamlin and Rev. Davis and established the first homes and missionary buildings there.
