Section 5, Block VI.; 297 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral land, at an elevation varying between 100 ft. and 300 ft. above sea-level. This section comprises about 91 acres of good agricultural land and 206 acres of pastoral hills. The agricultural portion consists chiefly of flat land on the Flaxbourne River, in very old English grass, and of flat and undulating land scattered throughout the section. The pastoral hills are all in tussock and native and English grasses, the northern faces being rather bare, but the southern faces and valleys well covered. Parts of the pastoral land are ploughable. This section is watered by the Flaxbourne River and Needles Creek, and adjoins the proposed township. Situated twelve miles and a half distant from Seddon Railway-station by the main Blenheim-Kaikoura Road, to which it has frontage. The improvements (which are included in the price of the section) consist of 164 chains of boundary and other fencing, valued at £56 10s.
