Moeraki is a small fishing village on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It was once the location of a whaling station. In the 1870s, local interests believed it could become the main port for the north Otago area and a railway line, the Moeraki Branch, was built to the settlement and opened in 1877. However, the port could not compete with Oamaru and the lack of traffic as well as stability problems caused by difficult terrain led to the closure of the railway in 1879 after only two years' operation. The village is best known for the nearby Moeraki Boulders.

  • Moeraki estas malgranda fiŝkaptista vilaĝo ĉe la orienta marbordo de la Suda Insulo de Novzelando. Ĝi estis iam la loko de balenkaptista stacio. En la 1870-aj jaroj, lokaj interesoj deziris, ke ĝi iĝu la ĉefa heveno por Norda Otago kaj oni konstruis fervojan linion, nome Moeraki Branĉo, al la setlejoj kiu malfermiĝis en 1877. Tamen la haveno ne povis konkurenci kun Oamaru kaj manko de trafiko same kiel stabilproblemoj pro malfacila tereno kondukis al la fermo de la fervojo en 1879 post nur du jaroj de operacagado. (eo)
