	History of the Taieri Gorge Railway
		It's history is both the history of the Otago Central Railway and of the Otago Excursion Train Trust, which ran it's first excursion train on the railway in 1979 and became so succesful that they bought 60 kms of the railway when it closed in 1990, forming todays company and its operations.
		In 1995 the close relationship between the City of Dunedin and the Otago Excursion Train Trust was cemented with the formation of the Taieri Gorge Railway Limited, a Local Authority Trading Enterprise jointly owned by the City and the Trust, which now operates the Taieri Gorge Railway with assistance of the Trust's volunteer members.
		In 1993 the remaining 150 km of the "rail corridor" from Middlemarch to Clyde was handed over to the Department of Conservation to form The Otago Central Rail Trail.

		The Taieri River is the fourth-longest river in New Zealand, and is located in Otago in the country's South Island.
		In its lower reaches, there is a broad floodplain (the Taieri Plains) containing much of Otago's most fertile farmland, before it flows through the lower Taieri Gorge to the Pacific Ocean at Taieri Mouth.
		Taieri Island lies in the Pacific Ocean several hundred metres from the mouth of the river.

	Rivers
		The significance of sewage inputs in the upper catchment to the Taieri river during low flow conditions was evident from a dissolved Cu:TDN ratio characteristic of sewage effluent for the Mosgiel sewage treatment plant found that was observed below the towns of Ranfurly and Middlemarch.
		Dissolved Cu in the Taieri river apparently increased linearly with river flow rate which suggests that Cu is being weathered from a solid phase under increased water input to the catchment.
		All of the rivers were pristine when compared to global average river waters, and the concentrations of most major ions were close to the 1% percentile levels for global river water compositions.

		River otters rarely travel beyond a few hundred meters of a water body and live in burrows in close proximity to the water.
		As river otters are often trained to catch fish, they were on board with the Indonesians and either escaped or were released.
		River otters typically show a slight webbing in their tracks of the hind feet, but seldom is highly visible.

	Taieri: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Taieri River catchment lies within the southeastern quarter of the South Island of New Zealand, between latitudes 44º54'S and 46º05'S. The river rises in the Lammerlaw and Lammermoor Ranges and flows for 318km to the Pacific Ocean, which it reaches about 30km southwest of Dunedin.
		It is a notably small volume river, reflecting its origins in the dry range and basin landscapes of Central Otago.
		There are particular concerns regarding the quality of water draining through dairy farms into the Taieri River system and general concerns regarding microbiological contamination of water in the catchment, specifically from Campylobacter spp and other water related human pathogens such as Cryptosporidium spp and Giardia spp.

		A small amount of water also comes to Dunedin from the Taieri Bores which are near the bridge over the Taieri River at Outram.
		The bores are not used when the Taieri River is in flood to avoid contamination caused by the ingress of dirty water into the bores.
		The Taieri Bores can be considered to be a surface water source as they are relatively shallow and are directly influenced by the Taieri River.

		It lies some 80km to the west of the city centre, at the foot of the Rock and Pillar Range of hills in the broad Strath-Taieri valley, through which flows the middle reaches of the Taieri River.
		Originally known as Blair Taieri, there is a popular misconception that the town is named for George Eliot's novel Middlemarch.
		As with many places in and close to the Maniototo area, its name was probably influenced by the Northumberland ancestry of early surveyor John Turnbull Thompson (there is a Middle March region in Northumberland, centred around the town of Otterburn).
