GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Pakarau Settlement, formerly the property of the Kereone Company (Limited), is situated about seven miles from Morrinsville Railway-station and township by a good formed road, part metalled, and about a mile from Kiwitahi Railway-station on the Auckland–Rotorua line. It comprises agricultural and pastoral rolling land, the soil being of a loamy nature and fairly well watered by small streams, while water can probably be obtained in most parts of the block by sinking. The fences are generally good post and wires, and where practicable they have been utilized as boundaries for the sections. The road running through the settlement is formed and the culverts constructed. With few exceptions, the sections are well grassed, but some portions will require ploughing where turnips were eaten off last winter. The values of the whole of the improvements existing upon the different sections have been included in the capital values of the sections.

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

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
