Class A.

Run No. 121 (Kekerangu): Area, 52,000 acres; term, fourteen years; upset annual rental, £300.

Situated about twenty-five miles from the Kekerangu Post-office, having access by a pack-track, four miles of which is a formed dray-road. The altitude ranges from 1,000 ft. to 9,400 ft. About a third of the run is limestone hills carrying tussock, a third is mixed land which might be termed second and third class with small patches of scrub, and the balance is high barren country; there is some good agricultural land at the Bluff which has been cultivated. The run is capable of considerable improvement. Rabbits are rather numerous in parts. The improvements which go with the run consist of three cob whares with iron roofs, situated at the Bluff, plantations and orchard, sheep yards and dip, and about eleven miles and a half of fencing, valued at £1,050.

Plans and full particulars may be obtained from this office.

H. D. McKELLAR,
Commissioner of Crown Lands.
