These sections are situated on the south side of and contiguous to the Mackenzie Township, and comprise open grass level land of light but fair quality. Owing to their splendid central position, these sections have a special value, and are eminently well adapted for business sites, such as factories, sale- or timber-yards, and also for villa residences, gardens, and paddocks.

In the event of any of the suburban lots not being disposed of at auction, they will remain open for selection, in terms of "The Land Act, 1892," at the upset prices specified.
