This land is all light, sandy soil, principally adapted for
grazing purposes only, though probably some of the better
land is suitable for root-crops. The greater part of the flat
is covered with self-sown rye-grass, and is well known for its
grazing capabilities. Artesian water can, it is believed, be
obtained in any part of the flat. An artesian well was sunk
many years ago on Section 34, Block II., near the sandhill,
in the middle of the flat, and is still flowing. Sections 36 to
40, Block II., adjoining the Little River Railway-line, are
covered with splendid rye-grass. Sections 27 to 32, Block
II., and Sections 1, 2, and 3, Block IV., on the main road,
include part of the same rye-grass flat, and have all some
ground suitable for building on. Sections 4 to 9, and 13, 14,
15, Block IV., are covered with the lake-weed, growing on a
sandy bottom, but are considered capable of improvement if
the lake-water is kept off them. The rest of the sections,
both in Blocks II., III., and IV., especially those fronting
the long straight road, on the ridge known as the base-line
ridge, are all more or less covered with rye-grass, affording
good pasturage, and carry a large amount of stock. Sec-
tions 2 to 8, Block II., are wetter than the rest of the flat,
but are all capable of being drained; they do not at present,
however, afford such good pasturage as some of the other
sections.

The whole of the land is within three and a half miles of
either the Greenpark or the Rabbit Island Railway-stations,
on the Little River Railway, but a bridge will have to be
built across the new cut made for the River Halswell before
the latter station can be used. The Ellesmere Flat is situ-
ated about eighteen miles from Christchurch, and is emi-
nently fitted for grazing and dairy purposes, being within
easy distance of the Taitapu Dairy Factory.
