DESCRIPTION.

Rangitatau Block is situate in the Waitotara Valley, within easy distance of Town of Waitotara and Railway-station.

There are at present three roads which give access to the block. The principal one is the Puao Road, which branches off the Valley Road near Ngutuwera Creamery and Post-office. This road debouches into the Waitotara Valley opposite Section 14, Block II, Nukumaru District, about one mile south of the Puao Pa; the road then continues up the western side of the valley to a point about half a mile from Mr. Ritchie’s homestead; from the end of the road-formation a bridle-track continues up the valley beyond the northern boundary of Rangitatau.

A second route is by way of Coombe’s Road, through Block IX, Wairoa, which touches the south-western corner of Rangitatau.

A third route is by way of the Oamarunui Road, leading from Maxwelltown. Section 20, Block V, Nukumaru, has a frontage on this road.

In addition to the road-access before mentioned, a road has been surveyed from the Waitotara Village along the
