GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Matakauui Settlement lies in the valley of the Manu-
herikia River. Good metalled roads connect it with the
railway-stations at Omakau and Lauder. The distance to
Omakau, the nearest railway-station, is about two miles
from the centre of the settlement.

The country is at an altitude of about 1,000 ft. above
sea-level, and is dry and healthy.

There is a very good water-supply on two of the allotments
from springs, and a water-race runs through the settlement,
one-third of the water being available for the use of the
settlers. At Omakau there is a post and telegraph office,
and across the river at Black’s there are stores and a school.
There is a daily service to and from Dunedin, 120 miles
distant from Omakau. The whole of the land is suitable
for agriculture and dairying. On the terraces the soil is
light and gravelly.
