thirty-four years and a half) £15. Half-yearly instalment on
deferred payments, £5 17s. Renewable lease: Half-yearly

The property is a partially-developed bush section adjacent
to Timpanys Railway-siding on the Waimatua–Mokotua
Road ten miles from Invercargill and three miles from the
Mokotua Post-office and Dairy Factory. When properly
developed the area will be suitable for mixed-farming. Land
has been cleared with the exception of 15 acres to 20 acres
of milled bush and second growth; approximately 20 acres
have been cultivated and neglected, the balance being in
stumps and rushes intersected by swampy runners. Half
the land could be stumped at small cost. Drains have been
cut but have been neglected and are now blocked with weed
growth; water-supply is from a big drain running through
the property. Fencing is very poor and there is practically
no subdivision into paddocks.
