This section is situated adjacent to and north-east of
Burke's Pass, being a subdivision of part of the original Three
Springs Station, and comprises 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 section is fairly well watered by springs
and streams. The elevation of the country ranges from
1,700ft. to about 3,500ft. 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 road connecting Burke's
Pass with Fairlie, the distances from these places to the
nearest points on the section being respectively about two
and ten miles. The section, except for the drawback of being
subject to falls of snow, is by quality of soil and situation
well adapted for pastoral pursuits. The section is weighted
with £75 9s., being the value of fencing, which sum must be
paid at the time of application, or immediately the result of
the ballot is declared.
