30 April 2024 - Central Otago was the heart of New Zealand's economy during the gold rush. The towns boomed as people searched for gold but sadly declined when the gold ran out. However, you can still explore the remnants of this exciting time in the Bendigo Historic Reserve.
You'll find ruins of stone cottages and other mining structures in the quaint settlements of Welshtown and Logantown.
About 20 minutes from Cromwell, keep an eye out for the sign pointing to Bendigo Historic Reserve. Drive on a gravel road and up the hill to explore the deserted settlements of Welshtown and Logantown. Just a heads up, the Bendigo Historic Reserve has open mine shafts and other potential hazards, so it's safest to stick to the marked tracks.
Stay safe, and enjoy your visit!
