GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
The Rosebery Settlement, formerly known as Gilchrist's
property, is situated in Papakaio and Oamaru Survey Dis-
tricts, in the North Otago District, about seven miles north
of Oamaru, and adjoining the Airedale Settlement on the
south-west and the Ardgowan Estate on the north. Access
is by the Oamaru-Kurow Main Highway and by good metalled
roads, and there is a good stock route to the Pukeuri Railway-
station and freezing-works. Practically the whole of the
area is suitable for grazing and cropping, with a limited
amount of dairying, while fruit-growing could also be under-
taken on some of the sections. In most cases the soil is a
heavy, dark loam, resting on limestone formation, and most
of the sections have a good water-supply from creeks and
springs, while those settlers who take up areas through which
the Oamaru Borough Council's water-race flows will most
probably be able to arrange for a supply of water from the
Council on payment of an annual charge.
The settlement is within easy reach of schools, post-office,
and stores, while exceptional educational facilities are avail-
able in Oamaru.
