four miles, and there are some flats and easy country in the
vicinity of the homestead, the balance of the area being steep
and shady. The soil is of a light nature resting on sandstone,
clay, and papa formation and is watered by streams and
springs. Some 1,100 acres have been felled and grassed but
are rapidly deteriorating. All internal fences require extensive repairs. The property would be very suitable to a
neighbouring farmer.

Any further particulars required may be obtained from

   overdraft rates will be charged on all notes overdue from
   the date of maturity to the date of payment.

   accordance with the provisions of the Forests Act, 1921–22,
   the regulations in force thereunder, and these conditions.

3. The aforementioned quality, quantity, and kind as to
   the said timber shall be taken as sufficiently accurate for
   the purposes of this sale, and no contract for the purchase
   shall be voidable, nor shall the successful purchaser be entitled to any abatement in price, by reason of the said timber
   being of less quantity, quality, or kind as stated herein or in
   any advertisement having reference to the said timber.

4. A return giving the number of logs cut of each species

   These returns may be ascertained and verified by inspection

   books shall be open to the inspection of the Conservator, a
   Forest Ranger, or other duly authorized officer.

5. The attention of all tenderers is drawn to the fact that
   the local controlling body may require the successful tenderer
   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 a
   letter indicating that satisfactory arrangements have been
   made in this connection must be produced to the undersigned.

6. Intending tenderers are expected to visit the locality
   and to satisfy themselves in every particular on all matters
   relative to the sale.

7. Each tenderer must state the total price that he is prepared to pay for the timber. The highest or any tender will
   not necessarily be accepted, and the timber described is submitted for sale subject to the final acceptance of the tender
   by the Commissioner of State Forests.

8. The right is reserved to the Commissioner of State
   Forests to withdraw from sale any or all of the said timber
   either before or after the closing date for receipt of tenders.

9. If no tender is accepted for the timber herein mentioned
   it will remain open for application for three months from the
   date tenders close.

10. Tenders should be on the special form obtainable from
    any office of the State Forest Service, and should be enclosed
