Description

The Otago Central Railway 1879-1990 : A Tribute by Tony Hurst. 'Central Otago, today a renowned tourist area with its combination of spectacular scenery, winter sports attractions and historic relics, has a close association with gold - both the colour of the autumnal mantle that the region acquires during April and May, and the metal. In the 1860s the Otago goldfields were one of the main sources of wealth in New Zealand. Its "golden" reputation continued for many years, and was a major reason why so much money was spent in constructing the Otago Central Railway, even though most of the gold had been extracted by the time the railway arrived.' The book has some light staining marks on various pages but it remains tight and bright.
