DESCRIPTION.

Kerepeehi Town is situated near the centre of the Hauraki Plains, near the junction of the Awaiiti Stream with the Piako River. The road access is from Wharepoa Railway-station, on the Thames line, a distance of seven miles—four miles and a half metalled. Paeroa is also a point of access, distant fourteen miles—nine miles metalled. Kerepeehi has also a daily launch service with Thames, sixteen miles distant; and, in addition, steamers from Auckland discharge cargo and passengers at the landing once a week. The landing is about half a mile from the centre of the town. The school building is situated less than three hundred yards from the junction of Rata Street and the Kerepeehi–Turua Road. The post and telegraph office is in the same building. There is a tri-weekly mail-service, and direct telephonic communication with Thames.

The area covered by the township consists of slightly undulating country near the Kerepeehi–Turua Road, whilst further away it falls into the level plain that constitutes the Hauraki Plains. All has been surface sown in English grasses, but the hill portion has small scattered manuka in places. The low-lying part is rich alluvial country, formerly covered with manuka and cabbage-trees, of which the stumps remain. The country is in good grass with scattered rushes and manuka.

Plans and full particulars may be obtained at this office.

DESCRIPTION.

The Kaihere Village is situated on the Hauraki Plains, at the foothills lying to the west of the Piako River. Access is by the Morrinsville–Waitakaruru Road, distant twenty-nine miles from Morrinsville and fourteen miles from Waitakaruru. Access also from Ohinewai Railway-station on the Main Trunk Railway, twenty-four miles distant. The Ngarua Road, along which the village is situated, is under construction towards the Piako River, five miles and a half distant. When this road is completed access can be obtained to Orchard and Kerepeehi. In the vicinity of the village thousands of acres of swamp land have been drained, and are now occupied. A school-site has been laid off, and a temporary building is now occupied as a school. There is a post-office and a store at Patetonga, five miles distant.

The sections in Blocks II and III are in rough feed, with patches of manuka and scrub, whilst most of the sections in Block I are covered with manuka, cabbage-trees, and rough feed. The land is first-class near the Ngarua Creek, but inferior near the Ngarua Road.

Plans and full particulars may be obtained at this office.
