The formation will be continued through to give access to all the sections. The block is good sheep and cattle country. It was in former years under forest, but is now in good pasture, having been grazed in conjunction with the Admiral Station for the last fifteen years by Messrs. Pain and Sutherland. The altitude varies from 270 ft. to 1,600 ft. above sea-level.
