This section comprises the northern portion of the original Opawa Station, and consists generally of 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. Access is obtainable from Burke's Pass and by the Mackenzie Pass road from Albury, the distances from these places to the nearest point on the land being respectively about nine and twelve miles. Portions of the roads near the section are not formed.

The section is weighted with a sum of £48 9s., being valuation of boundary fencing, which sum must be paid on allotment, in addition to the usual deposit and fees.

The section is weighted with a sum of £603, being valuation of dwelling-house, outbuildings, yards, boundary and subdivision fencing, &c., which sum must be paid on allotment, in addition to the usual deposit and fees.
