church to Dunedin, about eighty-nine miles from Christ-
church, or eleven miles from the seaport town of Timaru.
Winchester Railway-station, which is four miles northward
from Temuka, is about six miles and a half from the western
end of the settlement. The main roads leading to both
Temuka and Winchester are well formed and metalled.

The land included in the settlement is flat; the soil
generally is a rich, deep alluvial loam. The lower river-flats
along the bank of the Orari River are of lighter quality.

There is a river-protective embankment along the frontage
of Sections 9, 10, and 11, and other portions of the frontage
are protected by willow and other plantations.

The sections, with the exception of Nos. 4, 5, and 13, have
water frontage to the Orari River. Sections 4 and 5 are
intersected by a good permanent stream of water, which also
serves Sections 6 and 7 before flowing into the Orari River.
There is a water-hole on the south-eastern road frontage of
Section 13.

On Section 7 there is 9¼ acres of turnips, and 29 acres has
had a crop of rape recently fed off. On Section 8 there is
7¼ acres of turnips, and 20 acres has had a crop of rape
recently fed off. On Section 9 there is 23¼ acres in turnips,
and 4½ acres in mangolds, and about 31 acres has had a crop
of rape recently fed off. On Section 10 there is 6 acres in
fallow after a crop of rape. On Section 12 there is 20 acres
of wheat-stubble, and on Section 13 about 54 acres of wheat
and oat stubble. The remainder of the settlement generally
is in good grass and clover.

The allotments are excellently adapted for use as dairy
farms. There is a creamery in the neighbourhood of the
settlement, worked in conjunction with the dairy factory at
Timaru. The creamery referred to is situated about half
a mile from the north-eastern corner of Allotment 4. The
Clandeboye Public School is situated a few chains distant
from the creamery.

The road forming the north-eastern boundary of the
settlement will be formed and metalled by the Government
in due course.
