GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Otonomomo Settlement is situated near the coast, between the Molyneux and Puerua Rivers. The land is flat, and is only a few feet above sea-level. It is rich swamp land, suitable for dairying. Originally a flax swamp, it has now, by cutting and burning off the flax, by draining and by surface sowing, been brought to a state fit for cultivation. Parts have already been broken up, and good crops and grass grown. A large amount of draining has been done, and there are some good fences on the ground, both of which have been utilized as far as possible for allotment boundaries. The soil is first class, but will be at first somewhat difficult to work owing to the amount of timber in the ground.

The settlement is about six miles from Balclutha by formed road partly metalled, and the nearest railway-station is Otonomomo, on the Balclutha—Catlins River line, a mile and a half away. At the south-east corner of the settlement the Puerua River is bridged, giving access to Port Molyneux, just across the river. At this township there is a school and post and telegraph office. There is a creamery close to the settlement.

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