Moeraki Station

Moeraki Station , one of the properties of the New Zealand and Australian Land Company, comprises 5300 acres of freehold and 40,000 acres of leasehold land, and is situated almost entirely between the main road from Hampden to Waianakarua and the sea beach, only about 1200 acres being on the inland side of the road. The sheep on the estate number from 28,000 to 30,000, and the cattle 150. From twenty-five to thirty men are regularly employed on the property, and extra assistance is required at shearing and harvest times.
