Sale of Small Grazing Runs, Rewa, Kaiwhata, and Wainuioru Survey Districts, Wellington Land District.

Lands and Survey Office,
Wellington, 10th June, 1891.

NOTICE is hereby given, in terms of “The Land Act, 1885,” Part VII., that leases of the runs enumerated hereunder will be submitted to public auction, at this office, on Wednesday, the 15th July, 1891, at 11 a.m., at the upset rental per acre stated opposite each run.

SCHEDULE.

The block comprising Runs 48, 49, and 50 is situated on the west side of the Kaiwhata Stream, on the East Coast, Wairarapa District; and is bounded towards the north by Mr. G. C. Williams’s property; towards the south by the property of Mr. Adams and by a public road; towards the west and north-west generally by a public road, the holdings of Mr. J. Ray and Messrs. Williams and Beetham’s Brancepeth Run. The country comprises generally hilly land, intersected by deep gullies, with small flats along the Kaiwhata and Bismarck Creeks. There are suitable sites for homesteads where the track from Wharau crosses the Kaiwhata Stream. In the northern part of the block, above the confluence of Bismarck Creek with Kaiwhata Creek, the ridges are flatter, and the soil of a better quality than that in the southern part, the latter being of a generally inferior quality, varying from fair to good in the gullies. The block is fairly well watered, most of the gullies having water in them in the summer. Dams could be constructed and water stored. The forest comprises tawai and tawhero on the ridges, but on the slopes and in the gullies there are in addition rimu, matai, kahikatea, hinau, maire, miro, and occasional totara trees; the undergrowth consists of rangiora, makomako, mahoe, &c. Timber for building and fencing purposes is generally available. The formation is sandstone, with slate and shale showing in some of the gullies. The altitude of the country ranges from 500ft. to 1,300ft. above sea-level. The access is via Gladstone, there being a dray-road to Cooper’s, about eleven and a half miles from Gladstone, and a horse-road for a further distance of ten miles to Nitz’s, in the Kaiwhata, which is only two miles from the south boundary of the block. If access can be secured to the landing-places on the sea-coast, the cost of carriage to and from Wellington will be very moderate.

The block comprising Runs 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 is situated at the head of the Kaiwhata, Mangapiu, Motuwai-reka, and Waihora Streams, on the East Coast, Wairarapa District; being bounded towards the north by a forest reserve; towards the east generally by Beaumaris Run, Beaumont Run, Eparaima Run, and Fernglen Run; towards the south by Te Maipi Native Reserve; towards the west by Piripi Native Reserve, Harawera Native Reserve, and Messrs. Chalmers and Dudding’s runs. The country consists of broken and undulating hills of altitudes varying from 600ft. to 1,900ft. above sea-level, intersected by deep gullies, with occasional flats along the banks of streams, by which it is fairly well watered. The soil is very variable. In most of the gullies it is fair to good, but generally on the ridges poor and inclined to be clayey. The formation is generally sandstone. There is forest comprising tawhero and tawai on ridges, with mixed bush in the gullies, including rimu, miro, matai, maire, hinau, rewa-rewa, and a few totaras. The undergrowth, generally thick in the gullies, consists of hoho, mahoe, mako, supplejacks, &c. On the western side of the block the Brancepeth Road is formed to within two and a quarter miles of the block, and on the south-eastern side the Masterton-Urii Road is formed to within two and a quarter miles.
