These runs are situated in North Canterbury, on the Greta Peaks and Rocky Ranges, on the north and south sides of the Waikari River, and on the southern banks of the Hurunui River, north-east of Waikari Township. They comprise generally hilly open tussock country of good quality, rocky in places, with patches of undulating land, and a few small flats. Excepting Runs 36316 and 36320, which front the road along the Hurunui River, the runs are only watered by small streams. The elevation of the country ranges from 300ft. to 1,670ft. at the highest point. The access is by the Waikari Valley Road, but the branch roads, which vary in length from half a mile to two and a half miles, are unformed; the distance from Waikari being from sixteen to twenty miles. Runs 36317, 36318, and 36319 can also be approached from the Waipara-Cheviot Road; the distance from Waipara Railway-station being about seventeen miles. Runs 36320, 36321, and 36322 are distant from Hurunui Township from twelve to fourteen miles, but the road is only formed for about nine and a half miles. These runs, from the quality of the soil and situation, are well adapted for pastoral pursuits.
