NELSON LAND DISTRICT.—COLLINGWOOD COUNTY.

First-class Unsurveyed Land.

This area consists of low undulating hills, rising from
the sea to an altitude of about 300 ft. to 400 ft.; lies well to
the sun, and is in every respect well suited for pastoral
purposes. The soil is of very good quality, and is partly
covered with scrub and timber of no commercial value.
Access can be obtained from Collingwood by a good dray-
road to the West Wanganui Mud-flat, a distance of about
ten miles, thence along the coast-line, at low water only, a
further distance of about four miles.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,

hundred and eight.

About one-third of the sections is flat; the remainder is
undulating sideling country. Fair soil; on the flats it is
alluvial and gravelly loam of good quality, while on the
sideling country it is papa and gravelly loam of a fair quality
with some mossy patches. Forest consists of light bush of
red and brown birch, with pukapuka, karaka, and other
underscrubs. When cleared and grassed this country is
suitable for agricultural or pastoral purposes, preferably the
latter, as it is good grass-growing land. The sections are
respectively distant from the Warwick Junction Post-office
about ten and eleven miles; a dray-road is being formed,
about eight miles and a half of which is already completed.
