The Wairoa Confiscated Block, situated between the Rivera Wairoa and Waiau, is distant from Clyde, the Fort of the Wairoa, some 18 miles, and is connected with it by a good dray road. The land open for sale on this Block consists of the back portion, and has been subdivided into lots of areas above indicated. The quality of the soil is everywhere good, and is generally covered with a dense growth of fern and tutu on the hills, with deep gullies generally with bush in them, and plentifully supplied with water. The surface is formed of a series of ridges, averaging some 1200 feet high, with little or no level land. It is, however, ( well adapted for small sheep runs. The bush found in the gullies is generally light, consisting principally of kowhai, titoki, tawa, and a little totara and rimu here and there. Grass seems to take well where the fern has been burnt off. On adjacent lands near the coast the fern has very generally disappeared from the hills, before the fires and the sheep, and they are now covered with a fine sward of the “ native poa ’’ grass, which seems to extend itself immediately the surface is denuded of fern ; and these same hills are described as having been a few years since as thickly covered with fern and tutu as the country now open in the Wairoa Block, Note. —Plans may be seen, and further particulars of the land obtained, on application at this office.
