I was recently staying in Dunedin...Mainly to attend the Opening of the Tuapeka River Dam Track .
However due to unforseen catastrophic weather events, including flooding; the Opening was cancelled .
When the river had subsided somewhat I still managed to try out the walk to the Dam..
In good weather conditions this would be a peaceful riverside walk.
If you go to the end , you will see the 1907 dam built in the historical Gold Rush days .
Plus on the way you can view the remains of a turbine .
Keep the river to your left...and fence to your right .
Take care ...ELECTRIC fences !
You can pick up a leaflet about this at the nearby Heritage Hub.
