The Lowburn community of the 1930's was a self sufficient place with its own church, hall, Post Office, primary school, hotel, gold dredge and blacksmith. There were football, cricket, hockey, badminton and tennis teams plus dog trails, a pony club and curling rink.
The building of the Clyde Dam and the creation of Lake Dunstan changed the landscape and life for the locals.
Today Lowburn is famous for the relatively low mineral content of it's spring water, with many Cromwell residents preferring it to their tap water for drinking purposes. Pack a picnic, bring a cup or bottle and try it for yourself.
