The right to cut and remove the timber will be sold in accordance with the provisions of the Land Act, 1924, the regulations in force thereunder, and these conditions, and such additional conditions as the Commissioner of Crown Lands considers necessary in the interests of the Crown or of the public.

2. Intending purchasers are expected to visit the locality and to satisfy themselves in every particular on all matters relating to the sale.

3. Intending purchasers will require to make their own arrangements with adjoining owners for the removal of the timber, as there is no legal access to the block.

4. The right is reserved to the Commissioner of Crown Lands to withdraw this timber from sale either before or after the date for receipt of tenders.

5. For the purposes of this sale the foregoing description of the timber shall be taken as sufficiently accurate as to quantities, qualities, and kinds, and no contract for the purchase of the timber shall be voidable, nor shall the purchaser be entitled to any abatement in price, by reason of any error or misdescription herein or in any advertisement having reference to this sale; nor shall any extra sum be claimed by the Crown if the quantity of timber is found to be in excess of that stated herein.

6. All timber, whether standing, felled, or in logs, shall remain the property of the Crown until all the instalments are paid.

7. The attention of all intending purchasers is drawn to the fact that the local controlling body may require the purchaser to pay any claims or charges which may be made by that body for the maintenance of the road over which the timber may be transported, and before a sawmill license is issued to the purchaser a letter indicating that satisfactory arrangements have been made in this connection must be produced to the undersigned.

8. The quantities stated are standing measurements, and only those trees bearing the special distinguishing brand shown are included in this sale.

10. In the event of the timber remaining unsold at this offering, applications may be received and dealt with at any time within six months thereafter (unless previously formally withdrawn); providing, however, that the amount offered is not less than the upset price stated herein.

11. Any breach of the foregoing conditions of sale will render the “on demand” promissory notes liable to be presented for immediate payment.

12. The highest or any tender will not necessarily be accepted, and this timber is submitted for sale subject to the final acceptance of any tender by the Minister of Lands.

13. The purchaser shall have the right to cut the timber for the period specified, but shall have no right to the use of the land.
