  • Farming in North Otago
    FARMING IN NORTH OTAGO J. D. CURRIE Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Oarnaru Abstract North Otago is a well-established, efficiently farmed district. Primary production, which grossed an estimated $20 million in the 1973-4 season, will continue to be the major source of regional revenue. The geographic character and the soil resources of the district are described with a comprehensive coverage of historical development, current farming practices and future opportunities for pastoral development. The principal factor limiting agriculture in North Otago is a climate characterized by low, variable rainfall. Pastoral potential is closely tied to investment in oversowing, lucerne and irrigation. Successful farming under difhcult environmental conditions demands above-average ability. The managerial skill of North Otago’s farmers is an outstanding regional resource that augurs well for the future. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION NORTH OTAGO is a well-defined region. The northern, Canterbury, boundary follows the Waitaki River to its snowfield source in the Southern Alps beyond Lake Ohau. Above Kurow are the hydro dams, below Kurow the river remains as a broad natural boundary, flowing in swift braided channels down a bouldery bed to the sea. The southern boundary that isolates North Otago from its parent province is a mountain wall running north-west from Shag Point to the Lindis Pass and on to the Alps. A fork in the mountains that sweep round from Danseys Pass to Kurow divides North Otago into two districts that are distinct in nature and development. Inland, at Omarama, the sparsely populated run country is similar to Central Otago. Below Kurow is the more closely settled country, The moun- tains and foothills are only suited to extensive grazing, but most of the lower country is made up of rolling loessial downs, good natural grassland, much of it arable.

  • FT7 Vanished World
    GEOSCIENCES 09 Annual Conference Oamaru, NZ FIELD TRIP 7 VANISHED WORLD Wednesday 25 November 2009 Leader: Ewan Fordyce Geology Dept, University of Otago BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: Fordyce, E. (2009). Vanished World. In: Turnbull, I.M. (ed.). Field Trip Guides, Geosciences 09 Conference, Oamaru, New Zealand. Geological Society of New Zealand Miscellaneous Publication 128B. 13 p. INTRODUCTION The trip has themes of: geological education/ geological sites; regional stratigraphy/ paleontology; and history of geology. It is based around localities from Papakaio to Duntroon-Maerewhenua, North Otago. We will visit a geological visitor centre - Vanished World Centre, Duntroon (www.vanishedworld.co.nz), and significant sites for the Paleogene of southern Canterbury Basin: Cameron's Pit (plant fossils, Cretaceous), Maerewhenua (shallow marine strata, sill, Eocene), and Awamoko-Duntroon (distal marine and unconformities, Oligocene). We will visit 1-2 of the sites specially developed for the public as part of the Vanished World Trail. Text, photos and graphics are by Ewan Fordyce. VANISHED WORLD The Vanished World Trail comprises a self-guided 80 km tour around some 20 geological sites in North Otago, on the coast from Waianakarua (south) to Oamaru (north), and inland to Duntroon in the Waitaki Valley. Sites are on public and private land; access to sites is free, but conditions may be imposed by some landowners. Some sites are close to or on roads, but others require a short walk. The trail is a community initiative developed by locals since 2000, in partnership with the University of Otago, to foster conservation, education and scientific study. The concept of Vanished World arose from local interest in, particularly, research on fossils from the district, but aims to take geology in the broadest sense to the public.

  • Mount Domet Becomes Mount Domett
    Mount Domett The history of a mountain Mount Domett, Little Domett and Kohurau illuminated by moonlight, from Round Hill Road, Five Forks, North Otago. Photograph by Gordon Barney, PixNZ.Com Limited (August 1999, approximately 11:00 p.m.) Mount Domett, in North Otago, is situated at the southeastern end of the St. Marys Range, between Kurow to the northeast and Danseys Pass to the south, and is approximately 55 kilometres northwest of Oamaru. Although not the highest in coastal North Otago or in the range (Kohurau at 2009m/6592′ is the highest in both), Mount Domett at 1942m/6370′ and Little Domett at 1860m/6104′ are certainly the most prominent peaks of the skyline when viewed across the coastal North Otago landscape. Mount Domett and the other peaks of the St. Marys Range are often the objectives of tramping and mountaineering parties and with a variety of routes and terrain in both summer and winter conditions, this mountainous area has been well traversed on numerous occasions since the early twentieth century. On Wednesday, 14 August 2002, Mount Domett had the spelling of its name officially changed from „Domet‟ to „Domett‟, correcting the long-standing spelling error of the name of Alfred Domett, in honour of whom it was named. Alfred Domett was born at Camberwell Grove, Surrey, England on 20 May 1811, the sixth child to Nathaniel Domett and Elizabeth Curling. Lawyer, journalist, administrator and poet, Domett became premier of New Zealand from 6 August 1862 to 30 October 1863. He had already purchased land in the Nelson settlement in May 1842 before sailing out from England on the Sir Charles Forbes, arriving in August 1842.
