LOCALITY AND DESCRIPTION.

The distance of this block from Opua, the nearest seaport is about eleven miles. The Whangarei-Opua Railway line runs through the block, and as a daily time-table is maintained settlers will thus find a quick means of transit for shipping goods to a market via either Opua or Whangarei. From the former port there is a bi-weekly steamer service, and from the latter a daily service. The country on the Kawakawa-Towai Road is poor pipeclay. Along the railway-line the majority of the land is kahikatea swamp. The soil is very good; and when properly drained will make excellent country. The sections containing bush are all well adapted for dairying, and the higher country is excellent sheep-country, the soil resting mostly on a limestone formation. All the sections are very well watered.

Access to the block from Auckland is by steamer to Whangarei or Opua, and thence by train to Motatau Railway-station.
