This section is situated on the Raincliff Estate, between the Opuha and Opihi Rivers, about nine miles in an easterly
direction from the Fairlie Railway-station, and comprises rough hilly land, the greater portion being only fit for pastoral
purposes. Owing to the character of the land comprised in this section, and the difficulty of access, the Land Board will
be prepared to consider an application from the successful applicant for exemption from residence, in terms of sections 142
and 143 of "The Land Act, 1892."
