GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Puketoi Station, of which these runs are the subdivisions, lies about twelve to sixteen miles from Ranfurly Railway-station in Central Otago. There is a good almost level road all the way. The general aspect is easterly, though part of the higher country lies towards the west. The altitude is from 1,300 ft. to 3,300 ft. The western lying slopes are subject to snow during the winter, but the runs may be generally regarded as fairly safe country. Water is not always plentiful on some of the subdivisions, but a little provision would make the supply safe. There is a good homestead-site on each run.

Plans and full particulars may be obtained from this office.
