Section 8, Block VI. (156 acres) (Homestead-site for Small Grazing-run 182).

Agricultural and pastoral and, at an elevation varying between 200 ft. and 528 ft. above sea-level. This section comprises about 54 acres of good, almost flat agricultural land, and 102 acres of good pastoral downs, or steep faces sloping into the creeks. A portion of the pastoral land is ploughable. The whole section is covered with tussock, flax, and native and English grasses. Watered by Tachall's Creek, which is seldom dry; but probably water may always be found on sinking into the bed of the creek. Situated on the Gulch Road (unformed), half a mile from the proposed township, and seventeen miles from Seddon Railway-station by the Gulch Road and main Blenheim-Kaikoura Road. The improvements (which are included in the price of the section) consist of 46½ chains of bound-ary-fencing, valued at £17 10s.
