Clutha Gold Trail. During the gold rush and sawmilling eras the whole district rattled with the sound of diggers and wagon trains as trade routes were established through the plains and across the Clutha River. The discovery of gold at Gabriel's Gully by Gabriel Read in May 1861 led to the Central Otago gold rush. With the population of the gold field rising from almost nothing to around 11,500 within a year, twice that of Dunedin at the time. www.cluthacountry.co.nz
