SCHEDULE.
MARLBOROUGH LAND DISTRICT. — BAREFELL AND ACHERON
SURVEY DISTRICTS.

Run No. 130, Dillon, 74,300 acres; term, twenty-one years;
upset annual rental, £400.

Description.

This run is situated at the south-western corner of the
province, between the Guide, Acheron, and Clarence Rivers.
A large proportion of the run is composed of high ranges of
travelling shingle; the lower slopes and river-flats are well
grassed, the southern portion, known as “Bullen Hills,” is
particularly so. The country has good natural boundaries,
for the most part sheep-proof, and there is a good home-
stead-site on the left bank of the Clarence, near the
junction of the Dillon Stream, accessible by wagons. The
run is distant about thirty-five miles from Culverden.
