The character of the soil generally is rich deep loam on strong clay, marl 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 Puketetere Forest, distant 10 miles.
