Locality and Description.

The greater portion of this block is situated on the left bank of the Aorere River, and extends from about half a mile north of Brown’s River (a tributary of the Aorere River) southerly for about four miles towards the source of the Aorere River. An area of 220 acres lies on the east bank of the Aorere River, between the Clark River and the freehold land. The nearest point of the block is about eight miles and a half from Bainham, of which eight miles is by dray-road and half a mile by a good bridle-track. The bridle-track is continued right through the block, and is constructed to the mouth of the Heaphy River. There is a school and post-office at Bainham, which is a small settlement ten miles from the Port of Collingwood by a good coach-road. One section of 220 acres is mostly flat land of fair quality, the balance consists of fair land suitable for pastoral purposes, with small flats along rivers and streams, and homestead-sites on each subdivision. The formation is of a light sandy clay on slate. The timber is chiefly brown-birch and red-birch, with some matai, kahikatea, and pukatea in valleys and on lower slopes, with thick undergrowth of mixed scrub. Altitude above sea-level ranges from 300 ft. on the flats to 2,100 ft. on hills.
