Weighted with £125 19s. for improvements.
This section is situated in the Awarua Block, on the eastern side of the Moawhango River, the access being from Utiku, which is about twelve miles distant by the Torere, Rangitikei, and Pukeokahu Roads, which are formed for dray traffic to the Moawhango River, over which is built a permanent bridge; the rest is formed bridle-track. The section comprises, for the most part, hilly rough land, with a few patches of flat. The soil is of good quality, resting on papa formation. The forest is rather light throughout, comprising chiefly rimu, matai, rata, a few totaras, hinau, rewa-rewa, &c., with thick undergrowth of manuka, konini, horopito, koromiko, tutu, &c. There are about 30 to 40 acres of open land with light scrub. The section is well watered by small streams. The elevation ranges from 1,800 ft. to 2,500 ft. above sea-level. The improvements comprise: Felling (not burnt) about 5 acres, at £1; felling and grassing about 20 acres, at £1 15s.; fencing, 55 chains at 16s., and 8½ chains at 12s.; orchard, £16 17s.; slab whare (old), £5; house of sawn timber (not finished), £15.
The Rangitikei County has a claim against this section of £2 5s. 1d. due for rates.
