GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
The settlement is situated on the banks of the northern Wairoa River, about half a mile from the Tangowahine Wharf and railway-station at the nearest point. Kirikopuni is about five miles distant, and Dargaville seven miles and a half by the Dargaville-Whangarei Main Road. The soil generally is of fair to good clay on the hilly portion, while the swamp area varies from very fair to rich swamp deposit. The hill country is suitable for running sheep, while the swamp land is essentially dairying land. When the sections are fully improved they should make very good farms.

PARTICULAR DESCRIPTION.
Section 1s : About 14 acres easy undulating land in grass ; balance good swamp land in grass, rushes, and cutty grass. Few blackberries.
