Tapui , in the Waiareka riding of the Waitaki county, and in the Oamaru electorate, is an agricultural and pastoral district adjoining the Oamaru-Tokarahi railway line. The flag station is nineteen miles from Oamaru, and six miles by rail from Tokarahi, but only four by road. It stands at an elevation of 681 feet above the sea, in the midst of undulating country. The settlement is much scattered, and parts of the Elderslie estate and Tokarahi blocks in the vicinity are occupied by new settlers, whose tenure is leasehold in perpetuity.
