The Riverley Station, Kauangaroa, Fordell
The Riverley Station, Kauangaroa, Fordell, is managed by Mr. Hugh Middleton, who was born in 1863 in Aberdeenshire. His early days were spent on his father's farm in Kincardineshire, and in 1886 became out, to Port Chalmers. After a short, tour of the South Island, he crossed Cook's Strait, and succeeded to the management of the Riverley Station. Mr. Middleton has made great improvements in the breeding of the stock on the property, and also in the practical working of the station.
