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.

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