I understand that this 32 acre holding was put up for letting in two divisions by public auction in February last.
Lot 1 was disposed of at the auction but a dispute arose between the only two bidders for lot 2. The auctioneer then withdrew this lot but subsequently let it in two separate sections to the parties to the dispute.
