Cromwell - Lake Dunstan
Cromwell had its beginnings in 1862 when two miners, Hartley and Reilly, discovered gold just below ‘The Junction’ of the Clutha and Kawarau Rivers. The rush that followed brought miners in their thousands to Central Otago. By 1865 it was estimated there were some 400 people in the town. Once gold ran out, Cromwell became the service centre for an extensive farming and fruit growing area.
