SCHEDULE.
CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT.—MACKENZIE COUNTY.—
BURKE AND TENGAWAI SURVEY DISTRICTS.
First-class Pastoral Country.

These sections are situated adjacent to and south of
Burke's Pass, being subdivisions of parts of the original
Three Springs and Rollesby Stations, and comprise generally
mountainous and hilly open tussock country of good quality,
rocky and shingly on the main tops and spurs, with patches
of undulating land and small flats. The sections are fairly
well watered by springs and streams. The elevation of the
country ranges from 1,700ft. to about 3,600ft. above sea-
level; and it is subject to heavy falls of snow, which lie on
the higher lands during the winter. The access is by the main
roads connecting Burke's Pass with Fairlie and Albury, the
distances from these places to the nearest points on the sec-
tions being respectively about one mile, twelve, and seven-
teen miles. The Duck Stream and other branch roads are
unformed. These sections, except for the drawback of being
subject to falls of snow, are by quality of soil and situation
well adapted for pastoral pursuits.
