Watered by Manganui River and running streams. There are about 37 acres in native bush and about 9 acres of swamp, which should not be difficult to drain. About 3 acres cultivated for turnips is now laid down in grass, and 81 acres are in grass besides. This is mostly old clearing, easily stumped and cleared for ploughing. Some of this section carries a good deal of fern on account of under-stocking, and there are a few blackberries. The long point enclosed by the Manganui River is rather stony in places. The native bush, however, should give good shelter. The improvements included in the capital value consist of about 56 chains of fencing valued at £18.

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