A drive to cache in South Canterbury.
Arno was a flag station on the Studholme-Waimate-Waihao Downs branch of New Zealand railways. It stoods at an elevation of 295 feet above sea level, and thirty-seven miles from Timaru. The station was situated just through the beautiful Waimate Gorge, and served the agricultural and sheepfarming district which surrounds it. A Government settlement known as Kapua adjoined the railway line. The station was four miles from Waimate, and four miles from the terminus of the line at Waihao Downs. Moa bones were found in the region and another cache is locate at that site.
The cache (a 170ml snap lock type container) is locate near the Arno District Hall close to a plaque which commemorates 100 years of settlement from 1884 to 1994.
