Waimate is a South Canterbury town at the foot of the Hunters Hills, its name from the Māori Te Waimatemate, 'the slowly moving waters'. The district was opened up after the meeting of the rangatira Te Huruhuru and settler Michael Studholme in 1854, and a white horse cut into the hillside in 1968 honours the Clydesdales that broke in the farmland. Waimate is just as well known for the wild Bennett's wallabies that have roamed the surrounding hills since their introduction in the 1870s.
