Subdivision 13.

Small Grazing-run No. 167, Block VIII.; 1,520 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral land, at an elevation varying between 240 ft. and 1,600 ft. above sea-level. This run includes 35 acres of flat agricultural land on the road frontage. The remaining 1,485 acres of pastoral land consists of hills, downs, and flats in their native state—that is to say, there are fern, tussock, and native grass, with scrub in many of the gullies. The flats in the forks of Tachall's Creek and a few of the other slopes and flats are suitable for growing root or fodder crops, but the access is too difficult for any other kind of cultivation. A little clover and English grass is intermixed with the native grass in a few places. A cart can be taken up the bed of the Needles Creek. Watered by the Needles Creek and Tachall's Creek. Situated on the Gulch Road (unformed), one mile and three-quarters distant from the proposed township, and seventeen miles and a quarter from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the run) consist of 51 chains of boundary and other fencing, valued at £19 2s. 6d.
