	Central Otago Gold Rush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rush started at Gabriel's Gully but spread throughout much of Central Otago, leading to the rapid expansion and commercialisation of the new colonial settlement of Dunedin, which quickly grew to be New Zealand's largest city.
		The presence of gold in Otago and on the West Coast during this time was known, but the geology of the land was different from that of other major gold-bearing areas, and it was assumed the gold would amount to little.
		Māori had long known of the existence of gold in Central Otago, but had no use for the metal, as they relied on greenstone for weaponry and tools, and used greenstone, obsidian and bone carving for jewellery.

	About Goldrush - Central Otago multisport endurance race New Zealand
		Central Otago has long held a sense of mystique, with its rugged rocky landscape, the majestic Clutha River winding its way through the quiet valleys and the trails which crisscross the hills, the legacies of many hardy souls who discovered this sometimes desolate, but beautiful countryside we now call Central Otago.
		Many of the visitors to Central travel to see the numerous old mining sites scattered around the countryside, and marvel at the sheer tenacity that the first gold miners showed in searching for that precious metal called "GOLD".
		When you compete in Goldrush, many of the tracks the race goes over pass these relics of history, and you can imagine the struggles that these early settlers had in setting up the many water races for sluicing the gold and roads to access their claims.
