General Description of Land in Blocks XIV., XV., and XVI., Omona, and Blocks I., II., III., VI., Opaku Survey Districts.
The above land comprises hilly country with fair to steep slopes, and in some places broken, covered with a dense forest of tawa, rata, rimu, matai, tawhero, mahoe, a little totara and birch on spur-tops, with usual undergrowth. The soil is of a fair quality, comprising a vegetable mould resting upon a formation of papa, and is well watered by permanent streams. The altitude varies from 200 ft. to 1,500 ft. above sea-level, some of the ridges rising from 500 ft. to 800 ft. above the valleys; but on Section 4, Block II, Opaku, they rise to 1,200 ft. above the valleys. The average height of the ridges is about 450 ft. On the whole the land is well adapted for pastoral pursuits, principally for sheep-farming and cattle-raising.
The principal means of access will be by the Rawhitiroa Road from Eltham on the north, which is formed for about twenty miles as a dray-road, the remainder being a bridle-road. From Patea the access will be by the Patea, Kaharoa, and Maben Roads; the latter road, along the Patea River, is formed to within four miles of the block, either as a dray or bridle road, the total distance from Patea being about twenty-three miles. Another route will be from Hawera (from which the block is distant about twenty miles) via the Tawhiti, Whareroa, Tangahoe Valley, and Pukekino Roads. About seven miles is a formed dray-road, three miles and a half a horse-road, and nine miles and a half a surveyed road only. The Patea River running through a portion of the block is navigable for canoes.
The climate is bracing and healthy, the rainfall equable and plentiful throughout the year, which generally insures an abundance of grass.
General Description of Land in Pouatu, Waro, and Upper Waitara Survey Districts.
This land is situated in the Clifton County, and includes the headwaters of the Waitara River as well as portions of the watersheds of Tangarakau and Tongaporutu Streams, and is distant in a north-easterly direction from New Plymouth and Waitara about thirty-seven miles and twenty-seven miles respectively. These are the chief towns forming the market centres for the area being offered. Another main access, however, would be from Stratford, which is distant about fifty-three miles by Ohura Road, via Whangamomona. The land is all covered with forest and is generally hilly, with an area of rough broken country around the heads of the streams. The forest is moderately heavy, and consists of tawa, tawhero, kahikatea, rimu, rata, matai, miro, &c., with a dense undergrowth of karamu, karewa (supplejack), kiekie, mahoe (whitewood), konini (fuchsia), &c.
