GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Lamont Settlement is situated about thirteen miles from Invercargill by good metalled road, and is subdivided into suitable areas for dairy farming. It is one mile and three-quarters to two miles and three-quarters from Woodlands dairy factory, school, post-office, and railway-station. The whole of the area, with the exception of the swamps, is under cultivation, and consists of good agricultural land, and is capable of being highly improved by liming and the draining of the swamps, for which there is ample outfall.
The land is well adapted for dairying or mixed farming, and, being so close to Invercargill, lessees should be able to make a good living on the sections.

Sale posters and full particulars may be obtained from this office.
