THE under-mentioned Crown lands will be sold by
public auction, at Hawera, on Tuesday, the 5th
day of April next, at the upset prices noted here-

BUSH LAND.

Description of the Bush Lands, upon Immediate
Payments. These 28 sections, comprising about
3,655 acres of forest land lie on the west bank of the
Waingongoro River, and inland of the Waimate
Plains, of which they are the continuation, the land
being one continuous level or easy slope from the
sea backwards for about fifteen miles. From Manaia
and Okaiawa, on the open plains, roads are now being
opened up to this land, and similarly other road-
lines are being cleared to give access to the railway-
line from Waitara and New Plymouth, which is now
open to Eltham Station, within about a mile of the
block. The continuation of the railway to Hawera
is now under construction; it skirts the land for
three miles, and when completed the distance by rail
to Hawera will be eight to ten miles. With the
exception of a few rata, the bush is mostly soft
woods and other light timber, and is easily cleared.
The country is well watered, and is admirably adapted
for conversion into grass lands.

Lithograph plans of the land may be obtained at
any of the land offices in the colony.

The following sections of open land in the Wai-
mate Plains proper will be offered at the same time
