| | Kerikeri A Pocket Parramatta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Founding links between evangelical Kerikeri and penal Parramatta were so strongly forged and express themselves so tangibly in the Kerikeri Mission House and Stone Store that those buildings might be said to form part of the built heritage of New South Wales. |
 | | An ex-convict stonemason from Parramatta did build the Stone Store at Kerikeri Landing, but the mill was forsaken as the Kerikeri settlers supposedly recognised, in the very act of laying the mill's foundations, a wheel-stopping tidal factor. |
 | | It would be a century before a back-watered Kerikeri could again aspire, with successive influxes of Pakeha settlers, to become what the grand manipulator of New Zealand's colonisation always intended it to be: a pocket Parramatta. |
