GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Heatherlea Settlement is situated to the north of the Town of Levin, on the railway between Wellington and Palmerston North. The distance from Levin Post-office ranges from a mile and a half to three miles and a half. There are dairy factories within from half a mile to two miles and a half of the settlement. The land is of good quality, resting upon a sandstone formation, and is generally flat, with undulations in places. Most of the sections are watered by streams; water may also probably be obtained on the sections at depths of from 12 ft. to 25 ft. The whole of the land, with the exception of the clumps of bush, was originally covered with tawa, pukatea, rimu, matai, and mahoe bush; but it has been cleared and laid down in English grass for many years, and much of the timber now remaining is in an advanced state of decay. Existing fences and other improvements are shown on the sale plan. The altitude varies from 130 ft. to 160 ft. above sea-level.

Full particulars may be ascertained and plans obtained at this office.

T. N. BRODRICK,
Commissioner of Crown Lands.

By Authority: JOHN MACKAY, Government Printer, Wellington.
