GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Ohauiti Settlement, formerly the property of Messrs
Revell and Rowe, is situated near the Town of Tauranga, in
the Bay of Plenty, the nearest portion of the property being
seven miles from Tauranga Post-office. Tauranga may be
reached either by steamer from Auckland direct or by rail
and road via Rotorua or Waihi. A branch road from the
main Rotorua—Tauranga Road runs through the estate, and
is known as the Ohauiti—Tauranga Road.

The land on the settlement lends itself to close cultivation,
as a rule, and is of fair to good quality, comprising terraces,
easy slopes, and flats, the latter being very suitable for such
crops as turnips, oats, and maize. The climate being mild,
cattle do well, and there are large and regular stock sales
both at Tauranga and Te Puke. Each of the sections has a
considerable area of grass fit for immediate stocking. The
settlement is throughout well watered by streams running
into the Waimapu River, and also by springs.

The sections at the southern end of the estate are within
two miles of the Oropi sawmill, and ample areas of bush are
at hand for fencing and other purposes.
