Part of Hillersden Settlement, situated about thirty-five miles from Blenheim. Homestead Block: Section 13 consists of good even land, free of stone. The lower terrace is good silt ground, suitable for lucerne. The upper, or “Bounds,” block (Section 13A) is very largely capable of grassing and substantial improvement. The lower and middle portion of 13A is really nice country, comprising good slopes and generally good sweet tussock country which, if well handled, could be turned to much account. Good tussock extends right to the top of range, excepting around the “Bounds” Peak, which is practically useless. The country lies well, generally facing west and north-west.

Form of lease may be perused and full particulars ascertained at this office.
