GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Kohika No. 2 Settlement is situated on the downs which rise to the eastern slopes of the Hunter’s Hills Range. The point where the road crosses the Makikihi River and enters the settlement is about six miles in a north-westerly direction from the railway-station at Makikihi. The latter is on the Main Trunk Railway line, Christchurch to Dunedin, about one hundred and eighteen miles from Christchurch and eighteen miles from the Port of Timaru. The main road leading down the Makikihi Valley is well formed and metalled. The original Kohika Settlement, formerly part of Mr. T. J. Teschmaker’s Otaio Estate, which was established in 1901 and is now a prosperous settlement, lies about three-quarters of a mile in a direct line eastward from the Kohika No. 2 Settlement.

The settlement lies at an elevation of about 500 ft. above sea-level. It comprises open undulating arable downs land, intersected by broken watercourse channels and by a creek. The soil is of good quality on clay subsoil. About 49 acres on Section 3 and 41 acres on Section 4 have been ploughed; the remainder of the settlement is all in old cultivated grass pasture, with the exception of the terrace faces, which are in tussock.

A new road has been laid out through the settlement in order to give suitable access to each section, and this road will be constructed by the Government in due course. Provision has also been made for the erection of a light footbridge across the Makikihi River at the entrance to the settlement.
