Nevis Valley Historic Sites Viewing and Walking Tour
An historic tour of old gold mining sites and places of interest from the early days of the Nevis, starting from Bannockburn and traversing Duffers Saddle to the Lower Nevis, then on through the gorge to the Upper Nevis and over to Garston, following the route once used by the supply wagons in the early days when the goldfields were at their height.
This trail is suitable for walking or 4WD vehicles. Some of the sites are on private property and permission should be obtained before entering such property (DOC can provide contacts).
Bannockburn to Garston and back to Cromwell via Kingston is a very full day.
Further information and the brochure is available from information centres in the Central Otago area.
