Section 21.—Fifteen acres ploughed; balance rough; road and south boundary (forty chains) fenced; nearly all ploughable; well watered; good building-site.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Birdwood Block is situated about eighteen miles from Auckland City, in close vicinity to the Auckland-Helensville Railway line. It is connected by road with Swanson Railway-station, two miles and three-quarters, and Henderson, three miles and a half. A more direct road is proposed, which will reduce the distance to Swanson to about one mile and a half.

Of the sections now offered thirteen are in good grass and fenced along the frontage, and some are fenced along the back line. Three of the sections are for the most part ploughed, while two have been cleared but not ploughed.

The land lies at altitudes ranging from 130 ft. to 300 ft. above sea-level.

The land consists of flat and generally easy slopes; the soil is good, resting on sandstone formation.

Birdwood is situated in a healthy locality, and from several of the sections a view of the Waitemata Harbour and Auckland City is obtainable.

The farmlets are well adapted for fruit and poultry farms.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General, this 24th day of March, 1923.
