The land is all covered with forest, consisting chiefly of rimu, kahikatea, and tawa, with a little totara on Section 1. The country is broken, but well adapted for pastoral purposes as a whole, though Sections 4, 5, and 6 contain undulating land fit for agriculture. Good loamy soil on papa formation, every section being well watered. The nearest section is four miles distant from Dannevirke by a road, one and a half miles of which is formed and metalled, the remainder being partially felled and cleared.
