These sections adjoin the Fruit-growers' Association Block in the Waikanae and Ngatiawa Valleys, and consist of
undulating and hilly lands, with portions more or less flat on all the sections except Section 4, Block XI., which is high
and mountainous and poor ground. The soil on the other sections is variable, being fair to good in some parts but very
poor in others, and is covered with heavy mixed forest. The access is from the Waikanae Station on the Wellington-
Manawatu Railway-line, which is distant thirty-seven miles from Wellington. A dray-road is made up the Waikanae
Valley for two miles and a half from the railway-station, and from thence the roads are surveyed only; but it is proposed
to construct some of these for bridle traffic through the Fruitgrowers' Block.
