GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Kurow Settlement, lately known as “Hille’s Farm,” is situated about a mile from Kurow Township, in close proximity to the flourishing little settlement known as “Tahawai.” Kurow, which is forty-two miles from Oamaru by rail, contains a bank, post-office, shops, school, creamery, two hotels, three churches, &c., and has a regular train service. The settlement is approached by well formed and metalled roads, and the railway bounds it on the north-eastern side. The climate is good, although cold in the winter, the altitude being about 660 ft. The land is of excellent quality, consisting of a rich black loam on a sandy subsoil. A small portion on the south-eastern side is slightly stony. The whole settlement is flat, easily ploughable, and well watered by races. The land is therefore easily irrigated and rendered very suitable for agricultural purposes.
