The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 77

Small Grazing-run No. 180, Block VII.; 1,312 acres

Small Grazing-run No. 180, Block VII.; 1,312 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral land, between 100ft. and 1,100 ft. above sea-level. This run comprises 70 acres of agricultural flat and 1,242 acres of pastoral hill. The agricultural land is of very good quality, laid down to grass many years ago. The pastoral land is a very good volcanic hill, with downs fronting Lake Elterwater. The back of London Hill was sown with English grass, which has taken well, and doubtless a further area is capable of similar improvement. The whole is well covered with tussock and native grasses, with a sprinkling of English grass amongst the tussocks. There is permanent water in Lake Elterwater, and possibly in other places. This run is situated on the main road between Blenheim and Kaikoura, and twelve miles distant from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the run) consist of 355 chains of boundary and other fencing, valued at £135 15s.
