Abstract

CENTRAL OTAGO has a lore and a lure which set it apart from the rest of New Zealand. Its characteristics of geology, topography and climate, its history of occupation and exploitation, its scenery at once forbidding and yet strangely fascinating-these features combine to cast a spell from which few who have been exposed can ever fully escape. There is no formal boundary to the region. For the purposes of this paper it is defined as the area bounded by the Carrick and Old Man Ranges to the south, by the Lammermoor and Rock and Pillar Ranges to the east, by the Hawkdun and St. Bathans mountains, on the north, and west to Lakes Hawea, Wanaka and Wakatipu.
