Tfee! | Ruby Bay boundary is within 70 chains of the Western Entrs:;^ , I Wharf, and no section would be more than three miles from that > port, which steamers of the Anchor Line easily work if required. \ ' > Then the Commercial Orchardist is as keenly alive to ' | PLEASANT SURROUNDINGS as anyone, and in this respect ' » > RUBY BAY OFFERS UNRIVALLED ATTRACTIONS. The area , k gently rises from a long sea frontage, with magnificent beach and i ! patches of native bush which make it a seaside playground spacious l > enough for thousands. Glorious views of both Eastern and West- (i- ---> crn shores of Tasman Bay are obtained; the property lies well to j h | the Sun and is sheltered from southerly winds. .
