Situated within a few chains of the Blenheim-Nelson
main coach-road; about nine miles from the Village of
Canvastown, and seventeen miles from Havelock.

The section rises to an altitude of about 900 ft., and com-
prises about 85 acres of flats and terraces of fairly good soil,
suitable for dairy-farming; the balance of the section is
fair and suitable for sheep. The creeks contain a good
supply of water in winter, but are liable to dry up in sum-
mer.

The milling timber has been removed from about 360
acres, and where fires have swept grass-seed has been sown,
with extremely satisfactory results.

The newly erected Rai Valley Dairy Factory is within
5 chains of the section.
