Caberfeidh, New Zealand facts for kids

Caberfeidh is a small place located in a beautiful area called The Catlins, on the South Island of New Zealand. It's part of the Otago region. This quiet spot is about 5 kilometres north of the coast at Tahakopa Bay and 12 kilometres southwest of a town called Owaka. It sits close to a small stream that flows into the Maclennan River.

Caberfeidh used to be home to a railway station, which was part of the Catlins Branch Line. This railway line is no longer there, but it was once an important way for people and goods to travel through the area.

The name "Caberfeidh" comes from Scots Gaelic, which is a language spoken in parts of Scotland. It means "a stag's antlers." A stag is a male deer, and its antlers are the large, bony growths on its head. This name was also the motto of a famous Scottish army group called the Seaforth Highlanders. It's thought that Sir Thomas Mackenzie might have given this name to the area.
