  • Otago Region Waters of the Maniototo
    Waters of the Maniototo Otago Region Waters of the Maniototo ON THE MANIOTOTO there are several irrigation dams that have been built to collect water during the winter period for release over the summer. These dams never run dry and have turned into good fisheries. Most of these waters are on private land but permission has been granted by the landowners to fish. Therefore it is up to us, as anglers, to respect the wishes of the landowners as sometimes they have areas closed for lambing, stock or paddock work. Please take your rubbish away with you and on no account dig for worms on their property. Also leave your dog at home or chain it to your vehicle. WEST EWEBURN DAM: This water is set in the hills behind the Naseby forest and has its own stock of brown trout which don't grow to a very large size. All methods are used and the season runs from 1 October to 30 April, with a bag limit of six fish. Access: Off State Highway 85 on the Wedderburn- Naseby plantation road, then turn left into Reservoir road that takes you to the dam wall. COALPIT DAM: Built during the mining era to store water for gold recovery, it is situated in the Naseby forest and has been consistently stocked by Fish and Game over the years. It often gets an influx of trout from draining the water race in April. It is home to both rainbow and brown trout, and do not be surprised to catch a brook char as they are picked up by the Mt Ida race.

  • The Squatters' Club
    WELCOME TO THE HOCKEN Friends of the Hocken Collections BULLETIN NUMBER 58 : August 2008 THE SQUAttERS’ CLUB PART ONE THE BEGINNINGS The leases of pastoral land in Otago were available from the mid-1850s. Alexander Bathgate in his ‘Colonial Experiences’ (1874), wrote: ‘The class of run-holders or pastoral tenants of the Crown, comprises for the most part of men of refinement and education, and they are nick-named by the Liberal party the “squattocracy” (sic), from the word squatter, which is also a name frequently applied to them. They hold depasturing lands over large tracts of country, averaging about 50,000 acres...’ On 31st August 1856 a ‘Squatters’ Association’ was formed ‘for the Advance of Runholding interests’ — but it was short-lived and no records appear to be extant. It was, however, the precursor of the Squatters’ Club — more formally known as the Otago Club or the Dunedin Club. In a letter of 18th June 1859, James Murison, a Maniototo run-holder noted: ‘We have got an Otago Club now. It 1861 — From Rattray St, looking across towards High St. In the right foreground is the house soon to be occupied by Dr Hocken. To its left is a rear view of the ‘Squatters’ Club’ with washing on the line. Gold has been discovered at Tuapeka, and many small tents of new arrivals in Dunedin are pitched on the hill beyond. has only been started for a year. We have now upwards of 80 members, mostly squatters. It is a great improvement on the hotel system, where you have to rough it in the old room with Tom, Dick and Harry, and have old Gallie, the dirty blacksmith, pop down on the next chair to you and ask what you’ll take...’ A LIVELY LOCALITY W.

  • Waipiata Community Plan
    Waipiata Community Plan April 2008 Waipiata Community Plan Executive Summary Process This Community Plan has emerged from a consultative process designed to encourage community participation. Emphasis has been placed on obtaining community views regarding the Waipiata area, identifying its points of difference and determining what opportunities there might be to ensure that it remains an attractive and desirable place in which to live, work and play. This Plan has distilled the individual opinions into a collective community vision and proposes a number of key recommendations that will assist in the development of Waipiata as a sustainable community. While the Plan has no legal status, it does provide an important insight on the direction the community would like to head for many of the organisations involved or identified in it. To this end having a community group to oversee the aims of this Plan, on behalf of the community, will be important and help to drive many of its recommendations. It should be noted that there are community plans for the Maniototo, Naseby and Patearoa and Upper Taieri which need to be considered in conjunction with this Plan when looking at the Maniototo as a whole. In defining the Waipiata community, the Plan also acknowledges that there is a wider community including both private individuals and national organisations which for historical, ancestral and heritage reasons consider themselves to hold an interest in the future of this area. This plan provides a framework from which further activities and actions can be developed and this may see a possible broadening of the scope of the plan in the future.
