  • Presidents Report
    Otago Goldfields Heritage Trust, Inc President’s Report 2013 I am pleased to present my fourth annual report for the Otago Goldfields Heritage Trust. In the year just past the focus continued to be on the 150th celebrations marking the discovery of gold in Cromwell and elsewhere in the region. A New Generation Honours the Past One of the lasting memories of the gold 150 celebrations will be part played by the schools in our region. All schools took as their main theme for the year a remembrance of gold rush times and most children will have had the opportunity to pan for gold. The Trust has had a mobile gold panning set up which has been taken from school to school and while the “gold” might have been gold painted lead shot this doesn’t seem to have deterred the amateur sleuths. One of the Trust’s aims this past year has been to link today’s children with the events of the past. We are fortunate in Otago that there are still strong linkages with the land and its people and our wish is that today’s children and their parents will want to keep these memories alive into the future. To that end we were kept quite busy in the week immediately following the Cavalcade where we had involvement with 3 Schools visiting the Cromwell area and we were able to take them on guided walks, do some panning and provide information. We are very fortunate to have within our members such knowledgeable characters who we can call upon to interact with groups.

  • Catlins Catl
    Fishing the Catlins Fishing in the Catlins Surrounded by remote rainforest and rolling hill country, anglers seeking solitude and scenery will find the streams of the Catlins rewarding. With consistently high annual rainfall and plenty of valley systems, anglers following the Southern Scenic Route between Balclutha and Footrose will discover numerous waterways to explore. All of the significant streams and rivers hold good populations of resident brown trout between 1-2 kg, and in their lower reaches sea-run brown trout which can reach 3-4kg. Owaka river entering the Catlins Lake Most streams originate in rainforest or tussock swamplands (giving the water noticeable to fish) and hurl it into a likely looking hole. Some experienced local potential. Containing lots of baitfish and crabs the trout are normally in a tea stained coloration) and flow through forest and farmland before entering anglers fish with smelt and bullies which can be irresistible to large trout, especially good condition and excellent eating. Often the best fishing areas are close to a tidal zone and then the Pacific Ocean. Anglers should adjust their fishing at night or the change of light. structure such as reefs and logs and near deep holes and drop offs. During methods depending on whether they are fishing in the estuary/lower, or upper the spring and summer months, evening and night fishing and can be very reaches of a river.

  • CATLINS BUSH and BEACH 24Th Feb. – 3Rd March 2018
    CAT CATLINS BUSH AND B EACH CATLINS BUSH AND BEACH Goldfields Cavalcade to Owaka th rd 24 Feb. – 3 March 2018 Gold in the Catlins? Absolutely! Untold tonnes of gold has been washed down the Clutha River (both from it’s present day location and multi- previous routes) on the Catlins north-eastern boundary. Also the Mataura river on its west boundary used to drain the Wakatipu basin and is fed into from the Nokomai. This has resulted in the beaches of the Catlins being quite literally sprinkled in gold! Many a claim has been staked and money and infrastructure invested to acquire this treasure. However by the time the gold made it all the way to the coast from the mountains of origin and tides and currents transported it up and down the coast, only the finest of specks remain. The gold is there to be sure! But the effort put in for the quantities returned is just not sustainable. Energy put into ship building and logging initially was far more profitable. As elsewhere, farming was where the real wealth was to be gained. Today tourism is a key player also in the development and sustainability of the thriving Catlins region. You have probably been here for a look-see before? Come again on the Goldfields Cavalcade and discover some truly hidden gems!
