GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Te Whitiatarā Block is situated three-quarters of a mile from Norsewood and one mile from Kopua Railway-station, and is accessible by good metalled roads. The northern half is a natural clearing, the southern half being felled-bush country which has been sown in English grass. Along the banks of the streams there are small patches of scattered bush; most of the sections contain timber for fencing and firewood. All the sections are suitable for dairying, that industry having been successfully carried on in the locality for many years. At Norsewood there is a well-established co-operative factory equipped for the manufacture of cheese and butter.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twentieth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and twelve.
