Editing Oamaru (section)

== Transport ==
Oamaru is on [[State Highway 1 (New Zealand)|State Highway 1]] (SH1), the main road route down the eastern coast of the South Island. There are regular coach and minibus services to [[Christchurch]], [[Dunedin]], and the [[Mackenzie Country]], leaving from Eden Street outside the Lagonda Tearooms, which provides booking facilities and other travel services.

Oamaru is the end point of the [[Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail]] from [[Aoraki / Mount Cook]], a cycle trail constructed following approval in 2010 by the [[New Zealand Cycle Trail]] project. The trail terminates at Friendly Bay, adjacent to Oamaru's Victorian Historic Precinct.

[[Oamaru Airport]] is {{convert|20|km}} north of the town at Pukeuri. After [[Air New Zealand Link]] ceased operations in 2010, scheduled flights between Oamaru and Christchurch resumed in 2014 with [[Mainland Air]]. However they were terminated after a few months.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.odt.co.nz/regions/north-otago/313359/mainland-flights-end |title=Mainland flights to end |author=David Bruce |date=22 August 2014 |access-date=1 June 2016 |work=[[Otago Daily Times]] |archive-date=11 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611084035/http://www.odt.co.nz/regions/north-otago/313359/mainland-flights-end |url-status=live }}</ref>

The main south line of the [[South Island Main Trunk Railway]] leads through Oamaru.
