Lands in Glenroy Block, Nelson Land District, open for Selection.

District Lands Office,
Nelson, 1st July, 1907.

NOTICE is hereby given that the undermentioned lands will be open for selection, in terms of the regulations for the occupation of pastoral lands in the area known as the “Glenroy Block,” published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 4th day of July, 1907, at the District Lands Office, Nelson, and Lynch’s Hall, Murchison, on Wednesday, the 21st day of August, 1907.

If more than one application is received for the same land or part of the same land on the same day, the order of selection shall be decided by ballot on Thursday, the 22nd day of August, 1907, at 11 a.m., at Lynch’s Hall, Murchison.

SCHEDULE.
NELSON LAND DISTRICT.—INANGAHUA COUNTY.—GLENROY BLOCK.

Locality and Description of Glenroy Block.

Situated on the main road (metalled) leading from Murchison to the Horse Terrace, Upper Matakikaki, the north boundary of the block being a distance of seventeen miles from Murchison and one mile and three-quarters from Upper Matakikaki Post-office. The area offered for selection extends from the confluence of the Glenroy River with the Matakikaki River southerly along both banks of the Glenroy River for a distance of seventeen miles. It comprises chiefly forest-clad hills broken in places, conglomerate-rock formation; also excellent river-flats (alluvium), soil varying in depth from 18 in. to 4 ft., suitable for agriculture. The soil is fair in the gullies and on the slopes in the rougher portions of the block; on the tops of the spurs the soil is poor. There is about 380 acres of open land, covered with native grass and tussock. The altitude ranges from 1,037 ft. (at Upper Matakikaki Road) to 3,200 ft. above sea-level. The forest consists of brown-birch and red-birch and underscrub of horopito (pepper-tree), konini (fuchsia), puka (broadleaf), hoho (fivefingers), and black scrub on the alluvial flats, with lighter undergrowth of konini, puka, and horopito on the terraces and slopes, and in the gullies. There is thus good winter feed for stock in the forest. The climate generally is good, but the months of July and August are rather severe. Considered as a whole, the block is capable of being utilised successfully as healthy sheep-grazing country, and it has the advantage of access to market by excellent roads. The area offered for selection has been schemed out so as to allow each farm a portion of river-flat. A sum of money will be spent in forming access roads through the block.

An area of 216 acres is weighted with £15, valuation for improvements.
