This section is situated in the Awarua Block, between the Moawhango and Rangitikei Rivers. The access is from
Utiku, which is about thirteen miles distant, via the Main Trunk, Torere, Rangitikei, and Pukeokahu Roads, which are
formed for dray traffic (in summer) for about four miles; the rest is a dray-road and bridle-track in course of formation.
A bridge over the Moawhango River will shortly be built. The section comprises mostly hilly land, with occasional small
flats. The soil is of good quality, resting on papa-and-sandstone formation. The forest is partly heavy and partly light
scrub and flax, comprising rimu, matai, tawa, rata, koromiko, manuka, and a few totara, with a thick undergrowth of the
usual kind. The section is well watered by small streams. The elevation ranges from about 1,700 ft. to 1,800 ft. above
sea-level.
