This township is situated in the Wanganui Harbour Board
Block, about eight miles from Ashhurst. Access is by a dray-
road, the portion to be offered being cleared land. Some
suburban sections comprising good, level, and undulating
land, covered with ordinary mixed bush, will also be offered
for sale at the same time (details in next New Zealand
Gazette). The sections are well suited for selection by small
farmers, to whom the sale should be of great advantage in
enabling them to purchase suitable homesteads.

Plans containing full particulars will be obtainable shortly
at the principal post-offices in the district, and at this office.
