The character of the soil generally is rich deep loam on strong clay subsoil, limestone and papa formation, undulating downs and plains, numerous creeks and tributaries afford abundant water in the driest seasons, and small clumps of natural bush not only beautify the country, but also yield abundant firewood ; there is also a good natural road to the Puketitiri Forest, distant 10 miles.
