History

Beginning of 1868 sold John Anton Subritzky and her family's shares in Maldon in Australia and took the Barkentine Prince Alfred to New Zealand. They arrived in the port of Auckland and took a family-owned schooner after Houhora and Mount Camel Station, a large estate, which his older brothers Captain Ludolph Johann and Heinrich Wilhelm belonged.

In a short time was almost the entire north of the country from Awanui owned or controlled by Subritzky family. The place Awanui was built by them and the wider family circle, which included both Pakeha and Maori. The hub of the business of the family was the Mount Camel Station. My major influence on the extreme north of New Zealand held the next 50 years. They imported cattle and developed their own breed of Shorthorn cattle. They set up a shipping route to Auckland and transport many of the early pioneer families in the north. The Subritzkys built flat mills and started the fibers for the sale and export recycle. Then the days of the Gum Digger came and for the rest of the 1800s and well into the 20th century bore the trade Kauri resin to prosperity in Northland.

When sinking of the steamer Elingamite on 5 November 1902, the city played a role, because of Awanui one of the rescue ships and launched three of the victims were buried there.
