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.
