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. The earlier broken land will now winter a minimum of three sheep per acre. The whole estate should do this within two more years were grass alone depended upon, but with the aid of mangolds or rape, for which the soil is proved to be admirably adapted, many more could be carried.
