It is well opened up with roads, and consists of open as well as fairly level bush-country; soil good and well watered.

It will also provide that, in the event of there being no accepted tenderer for the new lease, the old lessee shall have the option of accepting a fresh lease for the same period and on the same conditions as his first lease, at a rental to be fixed by arbitration, minus the value of the improvements, which is also to be fixed by arbitration.
