GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

This settlement is situated close to the Town of Ohura, and about twenty-eight miles from the North Island Main Trunk Railway at Ongarue, and a little less from Okahukura, which is about seven miles north of Taumarunui. It is anticipated that the Stratford–Okahukura Railway line which runs through the property will reach it from Okahukura in two or three years. The land is good grass land, well sown down with a mixture of English grasses, and the carrying-capacity is about 1¼ sheep per acre or the equivalent in cattle. The fences are generally sheep-proof in fair order, but some need repair. The formation is mixed volcanic clay and papa rubble, on papa. The land varies from undulating to hilly, with small flats in places, and lies at altitudes above sea-level varying from 400 ft. on the flats to 1,000 ft. on the ridges. A few dairy cows could be run if required on the land. Half the common boundary fences are reckoned in with the value of the sections. The main Ohura Road is metalled for about two miles and a half from the Township of Ohura, and the rest are dirt roads. The Kopuha Road is unformed.
