Fairlie is the green farming town that marks the gateway to the Mackenzie Country, tucked between the Canterbury Plains and the Southern Alps about 45 minutes inland from Timaru. It grew from an 1865 accommodation house at Fairlie Creek and became the seat of the Mackenzie district once the railway and the Aoraki / Mt Cook coach road arrived in the 1880s. Its tree-lined Peace Avenue, a First World War memorial, and the Easter Monday A&P Show running since 1899 are local fixtures, and the town is best known today for its much-photographed bakery.
