Hikurangi.
The Hikurangi Block contains 12,000 acres of land of fair average quality, nearly two-thirds of which is hilly and covered with forest, a portion of which is kauri and kahikatea. One-third is composed of open fern land and swamp. This block adjoins and is situated on the north side of Kaurihohore Block, and is about eight miles distant from the European settlement at the head of the Whangarei river.
