Waikari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Waikari is a small town in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. It is located on State Highway 7 near the Weka Pass and was served by the Waiau Branch railway from 6 April 1882 until its closure on 15 January 1978. The section of the railway through the Weka Pass has been retained by the Weka Pass Railway and preserved trains operate between Waipara and Waikari.

The town is also located near the site of Māori cave art and rock drawings in the Weka Pass Reserve.
