GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Clifton Settlement is situated in South Otago, and can be
reached from Balclutha and Waiwera, both of which are
railway-stations on the main southern trunk line. The dis-
tance from the Town of Balclutha is from eleven to fifteen
miles, by a formed road which is metalled for most of the
way. From Waiwera the distance to the settlement is from
five to eight miles, by formed and metalled road. The
settlement has a frontage to the Clutha River, on which a
steamer plies. The steamer is capable of carrying grain,
wool, &c. The settlement comprises nice easy rolling downs
and ridges intersected by shallow gullies. Nearly the whole
area is capable of being cultivated. The land has been very
well treated in the past, and very little cropping has been
done on it. Most of the area is now in old pasture. The
general quality of the land is very good, and the sections
are suitable for the production of root, oat, and grass crops.
A considerable area at the northern end would grow wheat.
The altitude is from 80 ft. to 300 ft. above sea-level. The
aspect is northerly and easterly. All the improvements are
substantial, have been well kept, and are in good order.

Possession will be given on 1st April, 1917.

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