Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - Te waipuke o te Moana-a-Māraki o te tau 1953
kāore i nui te pānga whakangaromanga ki a Dirksland pērā ki te toenga o te motu, nā te mea he teitei ake a Dirksland. Ko Dirksland te mea nui rawa o nga hapori e toru i roto i te taone o mua me te whare hauora anake i te moutere o Goeree-Overflakkee. Ko te hōhipera o Van Weel-Bethesda tētahi o ngā hōhipera iti rawa o te whenua, engari he ingoa pai tōna. Ka taea te mohio ki a Dirksland mai i tawhiti i te pourewa wai teitei rawa o te whenua. He ahuwhenua te arotahi o ngā taone, ā, he maha ngā wāhi puni mō te hunga e hiahia ana ki te okioki i te wāhi o Ouddorp, engari e hiahia ana ki te noho tata ki te takutai. Kei a Dirksland tetahi tauranga o roto me te tauranga kua whakahoutia hou.
