Description of Run.

Situated about two miles from the head of Paterson Inlet, and about twelve miles by water from Half-moon Bay. The country is all level, on a gradually sloping plain, very wet and spongy and poorly grassed, and consists mostly of peat-bog vegetation, with the exception of narrow margins immediately along the creeks, where very good grass is to be found. The whole country is more or less covered with manuka scrub, but with burning and careful management a considerable area is capable of improvement by surface sowing. It is more adapted in its present state for cattle than for sheep. Elevation above sea-level from 12 ft. to 400 ft.

Possession will be given on the day of sale.

The above run will be sold generally in accordance with the provisions of Part VI. of “The Land Act, 1892.”

Purchasers must deposit statutory declarations as required by section 195 of “The Land Act, 1892,” and pay the first half-year’s rent, together with the license fee (£1 1s.), on the fall of the hammer.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
