Section 29, Block XVI., Maungakaretu, is situated in the Sommerville Block. The access is from Taihape, which is about eleven miles distant, via Ross’s Track and Motoroa Road, which are formed for dray traffic for about four miles, and another three miles are formed bridle-track, and the balance is under formation for the latter class of road. The section comprises, generally speaking, hilly rough bush land with a few occasional flats. The soil is of good quality, resting on papa formation. The forest is moderately heavy, comprising rimu, maire, rata, hinau, &c., with a thick undergrowth of horopito, karamu, mako, &c. The section is well watered by small streams.
