Section 17A, Block VII., Tiriraukawa, is situated in the Palmerston North Knights of Labour Block. The access is from Hunterville, which is about twenty-four miles distant, via the Poukiore and Watershed Roads and Murray's Track, which are formed for dray traffic for about nineteen miles; the rest is formed bridle-track only, bad in winter. The section comprises hilly broken land, with an indifferent frontage to Murray's Track, and practically no flat land. The soil is of fairly good quality, resting on papa formation. The forest is mixed, comprising chiefly maire, miro, rata, tawa, rewarewa, &c., with a thick undergrowth of horopito, karamu, konini, &c. The section is well watered by small streams.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twenty-ninth day of May, one thousand nine hundred.
