Tipua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (133 words) |
 | In Polynesian mythology (Maori), the Tipua are a type of shapechanging demons. |
| Tipua could be common objects; sometimes even trees and rocks were associated as these types of evil spirits. |
| These places where tipua were believed to inhabit served as areas where travelers would make offerings to the spirits of the land, in the form of herbs or branches. |
| Alfred Buxton (1096 words) |
| Buxton laid out many of the finest gardens, both public and private, in the South Island and when he expanded his Christchurch business to the North Island, he was, for the next 30 years, responsible for many of the great country station gardens in Wairarapa and on the East Coast. |
| It wasn’t until 1940 that the single-storey house was built, half the cost of the garden at £700, and from its site in the middle of the garden looks out on the rose beds, and the 38m-long “wisteria walk” which separates the front garden from the back where the swimming pool has been set. |
| George junior died prematurely in the 1960s and Keith bought the 250 acres that was Tipua. |
