W. Fitzherbert's selections, and by Section No. 42, Hutt District,
excepting Sections Nos. 28,29,30,31,32 and 33, Wainuiomata District
- will be open for purchase and selection at this office on and after
Wednesday, the 27th day of September next, under the Land Regulations
of the Province of Wellington. A plan of the land is open for
inspection at this office. Wm. Holmes, For the Commissioner of Crown
Lands.
Evening Post 15 Oct 1867 p2
Mr G. H. Vennell held a land sale today at the stores of Mr Edward
Pearce, and disposed of the following property. A block of land in
the Wainuiomata District, containing 300 acres, to Mr Sinclair for
700 pounds. An acre on Tinakori Road, with dwelling-house thereon,
fenced in, was purchased by Mr Sinclair for 525 pounds; and Mr Cattle
bought 1808 acres in the Rangitumu Block, Wairarapa, at the rate of
5s 6d per acre.
Evening Post 15 Feb 1868 p2
Mr Charles O'Neill, C.E., returned on Wednesday from an exploration of
a line for the Wairarapa railway by the Wainuiomata. It having been
reported to the committee that a line by this route would be easier,
shorter, and less expensive than by any other route, they immediately
gave instructions to have the same examined and reported upon, and we
consider that the committee acted wisely in taking the steps, for
certainly it is satisfactory to know that they are most anxious that
the best line shall be chosen between Wellington and the Wairarapa
Districts. As Mr O'Neill is busy preparing plans and sections of the
line just explored, his report will not be laid before the committee
for a day or two, but we have gathered that although some parts of
the line will be comparatively easy, other parts will be very expensive.
The report, however, will show the details of the whole line. Mr O'Neill
was accompanied by Mr Sinclair, an old settler in the Wainuiomata, and
who kindly volunteered to pioneer the way. The party left Mr Sinclair's
house on Thursday, 6th inst., and got to Mr Burling's at Lake Wairarapa
on Sunday evening, where they were very hospitably received by Mr
Burling. On Monday the distance from Mr Burling's to Featherston was
measured for the purpose of completing the whole length. We think the
committee will now come to a decision about the route, and at once
proceed with the surveys of the whole line, for the season is fast
passing on, and the sooner we have the plans ready to send home the
sooner will we have the capital raised, we therefore trust the
committee will not lose a day in getting in the subscriptions for the
survey, as the people look to them to be in earnest in the matter.
Daily Southern Cross 31 May 1869 p3
Dr Hector, who visited the Wainuiomata Valley, Wellington, on Saturday,
May 22, informs the Independent that Messrs Sinclair and Grace
have succeeded in discovering what they believe to be the reef which
is the source of the specimens which have from time to time been picked
from the bed of the stream and sent to the Museum for analysis, one of
which yielded notable traces of gold. The reef is of blue quartz, full
of mundic, and weathering to a rusty rotten quartz that looks promising.
It has been found on the slope of the hill in such a position as to
preclude the idea of it being only a loose block.
Evening Post 5 Jun 1869 p4
The same journal says [the Independent], with reference to the late
discovery of detached quartz boulders in the Wainuiomata Valley, that,
since then, a main reef has been discovered in the vicinity of
Orongorongo. A number of specimens have been brought into town and
given to Dr Hector, for analysis. The result has not yet been ascertained.
The Doctor and some friends, accompanied by J. C. Crawford, Esq., will
proceed to the valley to day to inspect the locality. We may say that
this reef is not in the immediate vicinity of that previously tested.
This is in the Orongorongo Valley, well up in the mountain gorge, while
the other was near Mr Sinclair's residence.

The Rimutaka Deviation. The Wainuiomata route by D. Sinclair, County
Engineer, Pohangina. One column.
Evening Post 28 Mar 1899 p5
The Rimutaka Deviation - how the present route came to be selected,
the other proposed routes, the Wainuiomata route impracticable.
The Wainuiomata Route Tested
... a report from the surveyor to the Minister, dated 17th Jan 1871
states that "agreeably with your instructions, I called on Mr Hugh
Sinclair for the purposes of examining a route to the Wairarapa
discovered by his sons."
...
On the Sinclairs going over the route (in 1871) with Mr Rochfort, it
was found at one part of the Wairongomai River that the ranges presented
the problem of a sudden drop of 900ft, which there was no way of avoiding.
Mr Sinclair said that he had never seen that part of the range before, or
he would not have put the Government to the expense of exploring the
route, and expressed himself as quite satisfied that it was impracticable.
The altitudes recorded by Mr Rochfort on the Wainuiomata route were the
following:- Summit level between Hutt and Wainuiomata, 567ft above the
sea; Mr Sinclair's house, 253ft; six miles and a half up Wainuiomata,
744ft; summit level between Wainuiomata and the Orongorongo, 1485ft;
confluence of the two branches of the Orongorongo, 976ft; watershed between
the Orongorongo and Wairongomai, 1130ft; and at the junctions of the first
and second streams flowing into the Wairongomai, 250ft and 205ft respectively.
From these figures it will be seen that a line via Wainuiomata must solve
the engineering problem of climbs of 1495ft and 1130ft, not counting the
minor grades of 976ft and 567ft. The present summit tunnel has a height
of 1144ft. Another fatal objection to the Wainui route is that it winds
its way laboriously over mountain and dale (mostly mountain) away to the
south towards the sea, making the journey many miles longer, instead of
shorter.

According to the latest files of Sydney papers, Trooper Duncan Sinclair,
of Palmerston North, who is serving with the Australian Bushmen in South
Africa, has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant. It will be remembered
(says the Manawatu Standard) that a few days ago we stated that he had
been specially mentioned in Lieut.-General Baden-Powell's despatches, and
doubtless the promotion is the result of that General's recommendation.
