Maheno is a small agricultural township, with a railway station on the Christchurch-Dunedin trunk railway, rine miles from Oamaru and sixty-nine miles from Dunedin. The township has a post and telegraph office with a daily mail service, and a money order and savings bank office; a large public school, churches, hotel, general stores, and its industries include fellmongering, woolscouring, and flourmilling. The district is a fertile agricultural area, yielding good crops, and is well-stocked with sheep. Most of the country is undulating, and the roads, though hilly, are good for cycling. The Kakanui river, which flows through Maheno, is well stocked with trout.
