Twenty-six miles south of Rotorua on the Taupo Main Highway you pass through the Mihi Farm' Settlement Scheme where pumice land has been developed by the Department of Lands and Survey. The stunted manuka, fern, and areas of larger manuka and tussock were crushed early in 1952, cultivated, and sown in grass in spring 1952.
