NOBLE HARBOUR OF THE BAY OF

ISLANDS,

in which
NUMEROUS SHIPS OF THE HEAVIEST TONNAGE
CONTINUALLY ANCHOR.

The property which now claims attention will be divided into
allotments of 21 acres, each lot possessing its individual
frontage to the before-mentioned river, which is appro-
priately named the key to the northern and most valued dis-
trict of the present colony, running many miles to Wai-Mati
and Kiaima, where the Government stores and farms are
situated. In 1840 there were numerous English families
located in the immediate vicinage. of this land ; these have
increased beyond all calculation, and
is
and gladness
await each new adventurer; indeed it s now universally ad-
mitted that this portion of I.sie.w Zealand has taken the lead
of all other districts, and it is equally certain that its more
numerous advantages must sustain it in its present proud

position.
AS SITES FOR STOREHOUSES AND
MAGAZINES FOR, PRODUCE AND SHIPMENT
FOR A LARGE AND IMPORTANT TOWN,
it is impossible the situation can be equalled in the bay ; it is
completely sheltered from every wind, with
DEEP WATER AND EXCELLENT LANDING
in front of the whole. Every allotment has a level water
frontage of about six feat above the highest tides, extending
back about 300 feet, which isicleared, cultivated, and in many
respects built upon ; from this distance to the back boundary
the land rises with a gradual ascent, and becomes, at about
100 feet, table land. At this present time
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ALLOTMENT OF LAND
throughout the whole extent of the Keddie Keddie on either
side that can now be purchased at any price. This, then, is
a bond fide opportunity of purchasing, which cannot occur
again. Mr. Robins, therefore, in conclusion, feels justified
in declaring that
A RAPID AND, IMMEDIATE FORTUNE
awaits the fortunate buyers at this sale, as the property
principally consists of what the English speculator will ap-
preciate as frontage ground,
_and is purchased on the spot
with great eagerness at upwards of
ONE THOUSAND POUNDS PER ACRE.
The immense profit that this property presents for the in-
vestment of capital,
by the subletting for a term of years on
building leases, or otherwise re-selling by the foot (at in to
£1 10s. per foot), is in fact scarcely credible to those persons
who have never visited Australia or New Zealand.
Mr. Robins feels he may not carry his remarks further at
present, observing only that a lucid and very explanatory
paper is preparing , and which is full of truth and information.
