Wendonside
Wendonside is about eight miles south-west of Waikaia, on the Waikaia Plains. It is a farming district, and the land is of fair quality. At the census of 1901, the population was 308. The district is situated in the Waikaia riding of the county of Southland, and in the electoral district of Wakatipu. There is a public school with an average attendance of thirty. The local post office, to which a telephone bureau was added in 1902, is conducted at the schoolhouse. Mails are received, and despatched, twice a week.
