 Tawa History - Article by Elsdon Best on Porirua and They who settled it
The district was occasionally raided, or traversed, by enemies, who usually came from the west coast of the island, for Porirua, prior to the twenties of last century, was ever occupied by clans of the East Coast people.
There is not, in the whole district, a single example of the elaborate defences, heavy earthworks and deep fosses seen on the East Coast, in the Bay of Plenty, in the far north, and the Taranaki district.
This fact is essentially a rocky district, and the bluffs, knolls and promontories which were selected as sites of fortified hamlets showed rock so near the surface that heavy earthworks could not possibly be formed by a people not possessing metal tools, hence the defences of such places were composed principally of stockades.

Carriers that violate the AWA by failing to meet the AWA transportation regulations and standards are subject to fines and/or penalties.
We believe that the 180-day delay in the effective date of applying AWA regulations and standards to the operations of foreign air carriers should allow adequate time for them to become familiar with the provisions of the AWA and the AWA transportation regulations and standards and to make any necessary changes in procedure.
In addition, depending on the species, the AWA regulations may require that instructions for the administration of drugs, medication, other special care, food, and water, as well as other shipping documents, be attached to the outside of the animal's primary enclosure.
