Linnburn
Linnburn is a pastoral district, most of which is occupied by the sheep station of that name. It lies on the Maniototo Plain, about ninety-eight miles north-west from Dunedin, via Waipiata, on the Otago Central railway. The nearest telegraph office is at Patearoa, ten miles distant, and there is a hotel at the Styx, near Linnburn.
