SCHEDULE.

CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT.—LEVELS COUNTY.—PARORA
SURVEY DISTRICT.—ROSEBROOK SETTLEMENT.

This settlement is situated on part of the Rosebrook
Estate, about four miles and a quarter inland from Timaru,
and comprises open, flat, and undulating down lands of
good quality, the soil being black, resting on a clay subsoil.
The area is intersected by valleys. The watercourses are
not permanent, but dams have been constructed in places,
and facilities are available for the construction of others.
There are rocky and steep faces here and there, but, on the
whole, not much waste land.

Lots 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are nearly all in
English grass; Lots 4, 5, and 9 are nearly all in turnips;
Lot 8 is in stubble. There are small areas overgrown with
gorse, especially on Lots 4, 7, 13, and 14. The plantations on
Lots 9 and 10 are included in the areas of those lots, but the
trees and shrubs therein may only be cut and removed with
the written permission of the Commissioner of Crown Lands.
The boundary and numerous subdivisional fences shown
upon the sale-plan consist principally of gorse.

The settlement is approached from Timaru on the north
and south sides by the Wai-iti and Claremont district roads.
The general elevation of the country is about 400ft. above
sea-level. The climate is salubrious and healthy, which,
combined with the quality of the land and contiguity to the
railway and port at Timaru, renders the lots splendidly
adapted for occupation by small farmers, gardeners, and
other small settlers.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this second day of May, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five.
JOHN McKENZIE,
Minister of Lands.
