GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Puahue Settlement, formerly portion of the property of W. G. Park, Esq., is situated about ten to twelve miles eastward from Te Awamutu. Most of the sections already have formed road access, and provision is being made for the formation of the roads to the remainder.

Sections 1s to 9s, 11s, 12s, and 14s comprise generally in each case a small proportion of partially drained swamp land of good quality, the remainder of each section being generally easy undulating country in grass. Sections 10s, 13s, 15s, 16s, 19s, and 21s comprise generally a small area of drained swamp or fairly level land in grass, the remainder rising from easy undulating to fairly rough hilly country with fern and patches of light mixed bush. The soil is generally of loamy quality on the lowlands and lighter nature on the hills, resting on sandstone formation. Most of the sections are fairly well watered by springs, small streams, or drains, and it is believed that where necessary water can be obtained by sinking. The low country is generally of excellent quality either for dairying or cropping, and the higher lands are of good grazing quality.

SPECIAL CONDITION.

The Crown reserves the right, in favour of the lessees of the adjoining sections, of obtaining water from the windmill on Section 11s; and an easement of the necessary access rights and of power to lay pipes, &c., for this purpose is reserved.

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