Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of every power and authority enabling me in this behalf, and for the purposes of the said Act, I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby proclaim the block of land described in the Schedule hereto as set apart for settlement.

ALL that area in the Auckland Land District, containing by admeasurement 20,000 acres, more or less, situated in the Waoku and Punakitere Survey Districts. Bounded towards the north and north-east generally by a forest reserve in Block X., Waoku Survey District, to a point on the eastern boundary-line of the said reserve due west of the most westerly corner of Manawakaiia Block; thence by a right line to the said corner; thence by the Manawakaiia Block, by a forest reserve, by Native land, by another forest reserve, and by its western boundary-line produced in a southerly direction to Waiote Takanga Stream; and thence by that stream to where it is intersected by a right line drawn parallel to and 56 chains distant from and north of Waipoua and Tutamoe Survey Districts; thence towards the south generally by the right line above mentioned, by Block XV., Waoku Survey District, and by the summit of the watershed between the Wairau and the Waimamuku Rivers to a point in line with the eastern boundary-line of Section No. 5, Block XIV., Waoku Survey District; and thence towards the west by the last-mentioned boundary-line produced in a southerly and northerly direction to the forest reserve first mentioned.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Survey District. Bounded towards the northward by a line drawn from the western corner of Section 3, Block XI., Takaka District, to Sub-trig. II.; towards the westward by the summit of the range, and thence by a leading spur to a point on the River Cobb about one mile from the junction of same with the River Takaka; towards the southward by the River Cobb; and towards the eastward by the River Takaka to the south-western boundary of Section No. 3, Block XI., Takaka District; and thence to the point of commencement.

Cash price, 7s. per acre.

A sum of money has been added to the price to cover the cost of roading without metalling.

The most suitable country for sheep is the slopes, not so steep as those within the limestone belt, well watered and easy of access from the Motueka side of the range. There is very little undergrowth, and the timber, principally a stunted red birch, is light. The land between Deep Creek and Horse-shoe Creek is fine grass-growing country, well watered, but with steep slopes in places, kiekie growing very thick in patches. The belt of country between the Takaka River and the dividing ridge between the Rivers Takaka and Cobb is very poor, with light bush and undergrowth of kiekie. The northern end of the block is accessible from Upper Takaka, and is distant twenty-four miles from the villages of Waitapu and Motueka respectively. The southern end is more readily approached via the Graham River Track from the latter village, from which it is distant twenty-two miles or thereabout.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this fifteenth day of September, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two.

JOHN McKENZIE,
Minister of Lands.
