SCHEDULE.

SMALL GRAZING-RUNS, WAIMATE COUNTY.
First-class Pastoral Country.

SMALL GRAZING-RUN NO. 67.

Hakateramea } 36395 { XVI. } 3,577 0 7 104 6 8
Waihao } { IX. XIII. }

Locality and Description of Run.

This run is situated on the slopes of the Station Peak Range, which extends from the junction of the Hakateramea and Waitaki Rivers to the north branch of the Waihao River. It comprises high open hill-country, the spurs being intersected by deep rough gullies, making the blocks in general difficult of access. The country is throughout of purely pastoral character, the vegetation consisting of native and English grasses, with snow-grass only on the higher altitudes; it is fairly well watered by springs and streams, but is liable to burn up in a dry season, and, as the elevation ranges from about 1,000 ft. up to 3,500 ft. above sea-level, it is liable to heavy falls of snow in winter.

Section 36395 lies southward from the Meyer’s Pass Road, the distances from Waimate being about twenty-three to twenty-six miles, and from Hakateramea about fourteen to fifteen miles.

The section is weighted with £431 for hut, boundary and subdivision fencing, and sowing, as valuation for improvements.

Possession of the land will be given to the successful applicant as soon as application is approved by the Land Board.
