These lands are situated on the plains between Burnt Hill and View Hill, on the north side of the Waimakariri River, in the vicinity of the Gorge Bridge. The railway-line from Oxford to Sheffield passes through portions of the block. From Oxford Railway-station the nearest portion of the block is distant about five miles, and the furthest about eight miles; from Sheffield the distances are respectively about four and ten miles; and the Bexley Station adjoins part of the block, and is about six miles from the furthest portion. The sections consist generally of open level land of light quality on shingle; most of it is stony, and a considerable portion is covered with manuka scrub. A few of the sections are watered by water-races, but there is no other water-supply.
As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this nineteenth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and three.
W. C. WALKER,
For Minister of Lands.
