Potaka Township is situated on the main coach-road and on the North Island Main Trunk Railway, which both pass through it. Mangaweka, which is the present railway terminus, is about eleven miles distant to the south; and Taihape, to which the railway will shortly be completed, is situated about six miles to the north. The sections offered comprise open, flat, and undulating land laid down in English grasses. Remnants of the forest stumps and logs still remain. The soil is of good quality, capable of producing garden and farm produce freely. The township has a few stores, accommodation-houses, public school, post and telegraph office, and a daily coach and mail service. The climate is healthy, the district is being rapidly settled, and the township affords an opportunity to business-people, labourers, and small settlers to establish homes on reasonable and advantageous terms.

Plans and full particulars may be obtained at this office.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
