Central Otago





We spent a long time in Central Otago. It turned out to be one of our favorite regions in New Zealand. The region is very dry, although it did rain a few times while we were there. The rain never lasted long, but produced beautiful rainbows as seen in the first picture. The second picture is Blue Lake which is a result of significant gold mining in the region. People flooded into the region during the 1860's to dig for gold. Old stone houses are some of the few remnants of the gold rush, as seen in the last picture.
