GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Culverden Settlement is situated sixty-nine miles from Christchurch by rail, the present terminus of the railway being the Culverden Township, which is on the estate.

The area ranges in altitude from 570 ft. to 1,819 ft. above sea-level, and the land varies in quality from good pastoral hills and mixed agricultural and pastoral downs and flats to light stony flats. The greater portion is watered either by streams or water-races. The estate is well roaded, besides being traversed by the main roads to the Township of Hanmer and Waiau; is well adapted for the breeding of sheep, and has a good reputation for its wool, sheep, and lambs.
