MARLBOROUGH LAND DISTRICT. — MARLBOROUGH COUNTY. —
BLUE MOUNTAIN SURVEY DISTRICT.

Second-class Pastoral Land.

Fairly good pastoral country, some of which along the
Ure River is good limestone formation. There is some
scrub and light bush, but the major part is covered by
tussock, with a little imported and native grass. Access is
by the Ure River bed, six miles and a half from the main
coach-road to the homestead-site, which is rather cramped
and bad. A wagon can generally be taken to within half a
mile of this, but a good road can never be expected because
of the floods which occasionally stir up the river-bed.

Commissioner of Crown Lands.

MARLBOROUGH LAND DISTRICT. — MARLBOROUGH COUNTY.

Class A.

TONE, UPCOT, KAITARAU, TAPUAENUKU, AND WHERNSIDE
SURVEY DISTRICTS.

Situated generally in the Middle Clarence Valley on the
left or north bank of the river between Boundary and Red
Hill Streams, and extends to the summit of the Inland
Kaikoura Mountains. The altitude varies from about 300 ft.
at Boundary Stream to 9,465 ft. at the summit of Mount
Tapuaenuku. The quality of the soil varies very much,
some of the land in the valley and low hills being good
limestone formation; some fairly good flats and pastoral
country, with much rough mountain-faces, said to be much
infested with rabbits. The run is much cut up by small
scattered freeholds, and the only access at present is through
adjoining freeholds and leaseholds.

ONAMALUTU AND CLOUDY BAY SURVEY DISTRICTS.

Situated to the north side of Kaituna Valley, about sixteen
miles by good road from Blenheim, and varies in altitude
from 200 ft. to 2,000 ft. It consists of hillsides of inferior to
fairly good quality, and upon which the native grasses are
increasing. It is covered generally on the south with short
manuka and fern, with a sprinkling of flax and scrub, and
on the north generally with fern and patches of bush in the
gullies, and is fairly well watered. The run is fenced only
along portions of the boundary, and, as in addition to partly
adjoining it is also intersected by freehold land, there is an
expensive contingent liability in regard to the balance of the
fencing.
