The Township of Palmerston is situate at the entrance of the Waibumu Valley, in the neighborhood of Puketapu, about 35 miles from Dunedin, 40 from Oamaru, and 8 from Waikouaiti. There is a good supply of Timber in the neighborhood, and Coal is obtainable at Vulcan Point, a distance of 6 miles. The town is intersected by the main road to the Dunstan diggings from Waikouaiti, and is situate in the centre of one of the finest agricultural districts in this Province. Limestone of a superior quality to any hitherto obtained, has lately been discovered. From its situation at the junction of the main North and South roads, with the road to the interior and the diggings; it is believed Palmerston will become the centre of a large traffic, and is destined to be one of the chief inland towns of Otago.
