Situated in the Upper Opouri Valley, Tennyson Survey District, and distant about seven miles from the main Blenheim–Nelson Road, and from a dairy factory, access to which is by a formed 12 ft. road to the southern end of the block. The river-flats and sidings were originally covered with heavy bush, from which the milling-timber has now been removed. The standing bush is of mixed nature, but the greater part is birch. Portions of the flats have been burnt, and sown with English grasses, and all sections will be found to be well watered, with good building-sites and boundaries on good fencing-lines. The country rises from easy to steep slopes of from 300 ft. to 2,700 ft. above sea-level; the flat and easy parts will be found well suitable for dairying, and the hilly parts good healthy sheep-country.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General, this 9th day of March, 1923.
