I think the 'regions' thing is a bit problematic, because there are all kinds of different ways of defining a region. But even then, I don't think there's any possible definition that puts Kerikeri in Waikato.

Was Portland not the first permanent settlement in Victoria (a lot later in 1834)? I think you have confused Longford, Victoria; with Longford, Tasmania
