11 Tararu Block
11 Tararu Block.
This block consists of two pieces, known as Tararu North and Tararu South, which have been surveyed by the Native owners, the total area of the two being about 3,500 acres. This land is of known auriferous character, and is likely to support a large mining population. The title is not disputed, but the Natives are not disposed to sell it. No reserves are required, the land being of a class unfit for Native or other cultivation. The kauri timber from Tinker's Gully to the source of the Tararu Stream has been sold to the Moanataiari Water Supply Company.
