  Otago Harbour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Otago Harbour consists of a long, much-indented stretch of generally navigable water separating Otago Peninsula from the main urban areas of Dunedin, New Zealand.
Near the mouth of the harbour lies the partly-forested sandspit of Aramoana (Maori for "pathway to the sea"), infamous for a massacre of 13 people by a gunman, David Gray, in November 1990.
