POHANGINA TOWNSHIP.

SUBURBAN SECTIONS.

This township is situated in the Wanganui Harbour Board Block, about eight miles from Ashurst. Access is by a dray-road, the portion to be offered being cleared land. The suburban sections comprise good, level, and undulating land, covered with ordinary mixed bush. 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.
