Stream, about nine miles from Rakaunui, on the Alfredton-Weber Road at its junction with the road from Pahiatua and Makuri. The area comprises generally hilly and undulating land, intersected by valleys, with good flats on the principal streams, the gullies, however, merging into gorges in places; the block is fairly well watered by numerous streams; generally speaking the sections are covered with light mixed forest, comprising matai, rimu, kahikatea, birch, tawa, rewa, &c., with a few totaras, and a mixed undergrowth of supplejack, rangiora, &c., portions being covered with manuka scrub, through which the fire has passed and grass has grown; the formation is papa, with patches of sandstone; the soil varies in quality from poor to good. Rakaunui contains a post-office and school, and is approached from Pahiatua and Makuri by thirty miles of dray-road, twenty-three of which is metalled, the balance being a good horse-road; the distance to Eketahuna is about the same by a well-formed dray-road. The elevation of the country ranges from about 400 ft. to 1,900 ft., and when cleared the land would be well adapted for pastoral pursuits; the climate is mild throughout the year, and inclined to be dry in summer.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twenty-seventh day of June, one thousand nine hundred and three.
