This section has a good aspect and very fair soil. There is some heavy bush on it, but the timber is not of any commercial value. There is a formed road to the south-west corner of the section, and the road along the southern boundary was partly felled some years ago. Distant about two miles from a post and telephone office, school, and creamery. The distance from the proposed railway-station at Papatowai is about twelve miles by the present formed road, but this distance will be reduced by about two miles when all the local roads have been formed.

This section has a very fair soil, but the general aspect is not good. The bush is heavy and a proportion of it is birch, which is difficult to dispose of. There is a railway siding (Puketiro) on the section. The roads along the southern and eastern boundaries have been formed. The nearest permanent school is about three miles away, and there is a post and telephone office about the same distance from the section.
