    10/5/2021 Roxburgh Gorge Trail — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa Roxburgh Gorge Trail Walking Mountain Biking Difculties Easy , Medium Length 22.4 km Journey Time 1 day biking Region Otago Sub-Region Central Otago District Part of the Collection Nga Haerenga - The New Zealand Cycle Trail https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/track/roxburgh-gorge-trail/pdfPreview 1/3 10/5/2021 Roxburgh Gorge Trail — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa The Roxburgh Gorge Trail provides a spectacular one-day ride from Alexandra to Lake Roxburgh Dam, following the Clutha Mata-au River. The trail offers the opportunity to explore one of the most unique landscapes in New Zealand, and every season offers a different experience. Starting from Alexandra, riders soon enter the Roxburgh Gorge, with bluffs rising almost 350m on either side of the river at its most dramatic point. Gold-mining history plays a big part in the attraction of this trail, with many remnants to be seen. The middle section of this trail is currently not accessible by bike, so there is a 12km scenic boat trip down the river, which includes an informative commentary on the history of the region, before riders continue on their bikes. Please note the boat must be booked in advance. The trail ends at the Lake Roxburgh Dam, but on the other side of the river another Great Ride begins – the Clutha Gold Trail. The Roxburgh Gorge Trail also connects with the Otago Central Rail Trail at Alexandra. Together these three trails provide almost 250km of non-stop Great Riding! The Roxburgh Gorge Trail was ofcially opened on 24 October 2013.

Be it environmental, climatic, diversity of enterprises, valley floors to high country, dryland to inten- sive irrigation, old ways and new technology, extremes in all these things are present within our region, but also between us and the rest of the country. Back at the last conference here in 1986, land use change was a hot topic and is prominent again this time round. Not so much focus now on tenure review when compared to the massive rise of the dairy industry, irrigation and Lucerne grazing systems.

  • 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.
