GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Wangapeka Settlement is situated on the east side of the Wangapeka River. The Sherry River runs through the block, which is also intersected by the main road from the Tadmor and Sherry Valleys to the Wangapeka Valley. The nearest point of the settlement is about one mile and a half from the Sherry Post-office, and two miles and a half from the Tadmor Railway-station (forty-two miles from Nelson), by a good metalled road. The property consists chiefly of open and scrub land, flat-topped terraces, and the lower slopes of hills, and varies considerably, ranging from good agricultural land to open and forest slopes suitable for sheep-grazing. Elevation, from 500 ft. to 1,200 ft. above sea-level. The greater part is in its natural state, but small portions have been cropped with success, and English grasses, where sown, have taken well. The formation consists of sandstone, clay, and decomposed granite (silt), resting on blue and yellow marls, with occasional outcrops of the latter.

The outside boundaries of the settlement are all fenced, with the exception of the western boundary along the Wangapeka River, and small portions of the extreme north and south ends. Several interior fences are used as section boundaries. The unfenced part on south end is to be fenced by Mr. Currin.

The whole of the sections are well watered.

Timber for fencing, &c., can be obtained on the settlement, although several of the sections have no timber on them. There is a sawmill at the Sherry, within one mile and a half, where excellent timber for building can be obtained at a low price.

There is a mail-service three times a week between Tadmor and Sherry, and a daily train between Nelson and Tadmor.

An accommodation-house is situated near the railway-station at Tadmor.
