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.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twenty-seventh day of February, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen.
