Small Grazing-Runs.

Subdivision 10.

Cape Campbell Sukvey District.

Small Grazing-run No. 165, Block V.; 2,443 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral land, at an elevation varying between 250 ft. and 1,960 ft. above sea-level. This run comprises about 60 acres of agricultural land and 2,383 acres of pastoral land. The agricultural portion consists of good fiat land—50 acres cultivated, and now in English grass—the balance being in tussock and native grasses. The pastoral portion consists of hills and downs, and a fiat difficult of access; some of the hills are very steep, rough, and rocky; about 130 acres of the flat is ploughable land, and might be used for growing fodder crops. All the pastoral land is in tussock and native grasses. Watered by the Flaxbourne River. Situated at the western end of the Kaka Road (unformed), two miles and a quarter distant from the main Blenheim-Kaikoura Road, and fourteen miles and three-quarters from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the run) consist of 437 chains of boundary and subdivisional fencing, valued at £173 18s.
