The Otago region enjoys a colourful goldmining past and the remains of old goldmining sites can still be explored around historic towns such as Alexandra, Cromwell and Arrowtown. Dunedin is Otago's largest city, founded by Scottish immigrants and famous for its beautiful harbour and heritage buildings. The city was once the commercial heart of New Zealand during the Otago Goldrush of 1860-67. Beyond Dunedin's environs are the natural wonders of Otago's diverse countryside and the incredible native wildlife of the Otago Peninsula, or head inland to Central Otago and the Southern Lakes, where the lakeside resorts of Queenstown and Wanaka tempt travellers with their stunning mountain scenery, wineries and adventure activities.Order your free copy of
