Sandymount
Sandymount is one of the most important dairying districts on the Otago Peninsula. It is eight miles east of Dunedin, with which it has coach communication three times a week, by the main road. It has a creamery, school, post office, volunteer hall, and a Presbyterian church. The farms in the district are of a fair size, and devoted to dairying; and, owing to the breezes from the ocean, the pasture is wonderfully fresh and luxuriant. There are good roads, and Dunedin may be reached by the main high road, or through Portobello, which is four miles distant.
