page 20

Section 1, Block IX.; 190 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral land, at an elevation varying between 160 ft. and 400 ft. above sea-level. This section comprises about 160 acres of agricultural downs and flat land, nearly all of which was cultivated, and now in eight-years-old grass, which is much run out; and 30 acres of pastoral land consisting of the steep faces along the creeks, all of which is well covered with tussocks and native grasses, and a sprinkling of clover and English grasses. Water is generally to be found in some of the creeks, though its permanency throughout the summer is doubtful. Situated on the main road between Blenheim and Kaikoura, and sixteen miles and a quarter distant from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the section) consist of 92 chains of boundary-fencing, valued at £45 5s.
