General Description of Land.—The block is situated about twenty-three miles from Inglewood, along the Junction and
Pukemahoe Roads. Sixteen of the former is a formed cart-road, the remainder bridle-road. It is accessible also by the
Waitara River, by which it is nine miles from Tarata. The river is navigable for canoes, but contains several rapids. The
land is good throughout, being papa or blue-clay formation. The hills average in height from 200ft. to 300ft. above the
valleys. Abundance of highly indurated sandstone boulders are to be had on the river and in the larger streams, which
should make excellent road-metal when broken. The forest consists of rimu, tawa, matai, tawhero, and usual smaller trees.
As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-three.
