Small Grazing-run No. 179, Block VI.; 1,041 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral, at an elevation varying between 100ft. and 600 ft. above sea-level. This run comprises about 193 acres of agricultural land and 848 of pastoral land. The agricultural portion consists of the flats between the Kaka Road and the Flaxbourne River: 115 acres (partly stony) have been cultivated and now in English grasses; the remainder being in tussock, native grasses, and flax. The pastoral portion consists of flat-topped spurs on the north of the Flaxbourne River, falling abruptly into that river and the creeks, and also of the steeper terraces south of the Flaxbourne River. Is in tussock and native grasses, with a sprinkling of English grass and clover in some of the valleys and on the upper part of the flat spurs. Watered by the Flaxbourne River. Situated on the new deviation of the Blenheim-Kaikoura Road, and twelve miles and three-quarters distant from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the run) consist of 221 chains of boundary and other fencing, valued at £105 15s.
