The Corner

PRESENT

Five Forks is about 20km north-west of Oamaru. Five Forks was named after the five roads at the junction. One road is a paper road, one is a drive way and the rest take you to places like Duntroon, Oamaru, Kauru Hill and Maheno.

PAST

Apparently a local shepherd named McCrea built a hotel at the corner because he was expecting the railway to go through Five Forks. When this didn't happen the hotel mysteriously caught fire.

FUTURE

In the future we think the corner will be the same but there will be more traffic - maybe even traffic lights!!
