Awamoko

Awamoko is an agricultural and pastoral district in the Papakaio riding of the Waitaki county, and in the Oamaru electorate. The name Awamoko is also that of a riding of the county, which does not include the settlement of Awamoko itself, though it includes Black Point, Borton's, Georgetown, Island Cliff, Maerewhenua Settlement, Ngapara Tables, Tapui and Tokorahi. The population of the entire riding is 933; that of Awamoko is 124, and of the adjoining Tables, fifty-five. The district is served by a flag station on the Oamaru-Duntroon line of railway, named Aitcheson's, which is seventeen miles from Oamaru, and 261 feet above sea level. There is a public hall, public school, and a creamery in the district. The local post office is at the residence of the schoolmaster, at Waikoura bridge.
