Waicola

Waicola is the name of a flag station on the Riverton-Nightcaps section of New Zealand railways, and of the farming district which surrounds it. The station is four miles from Otautau, and thirty-six from Invercargill, and stands at an elevation of 169 feet above the level of the sea. Waicola is part of the Otautau riding of the county of Wallace, and is in the electorate of Wallace; and, at the census of 1901, it had a population of thirty-eight. Waicola stream, a tributary of the Aparima, runs through the district, which is of a flat, slightly undulating character. Farming operations are carried on all along the railway line, and at the local station there are timber yards which are stocked from a sawmill about three miles away in the bush. The main road from Otautau to Wairio passes through the district.
