SCHEDULE.

HAWKE’S BAY LAND DISTRICT.

UNSURVEYED SECOND-CLASS LAND.

The block lies to the west of the Ormond-Opotiki Road, the south-eastern portion of it abutting on it at a point forty-two miles distant from Gisborne. There is a dray-road to within seven miles of the block, and the remainder is a good horse-track on permanent grades, a four-mile section of which is now being widened to a dray-road. The land, which will, when cleared, make good grazing country, is generally hilly and covered with forest, consisting chiefly of rimu, matai, tawa, rata, &c., in the valleys, with birch on the tops of the highest ridges. The elevation above sea-level ranges from 500ft. to 3,000ft., the bulk of the country being about 1,500ft. It is well-watered by numerous streams, and the rainfall, which is large, is well distributed throughout the year. Formation is papa rock, with patches of sandstone and small veins of crystallized limestone interspersed.

There is an accommodation-house on the main road, five miles from the northern end of the block, and a village settlement laid off in the same locality.

A sum of money will be expended in continuing the widening of the Ormond-Opotiki Road; and the road forming the western boundary of the block will, as far as the funds allow, be cleared, and a horse-track formed: 1s. 6d. an acre will be added to the value of the land for this purpose.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Administrator of the Government, this twenty-sixth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two.

JOHN MCKENZIE,
Minister of Lands.
