  1. Embarrassing Towns

    Have you ever noticed how several of our towns & cities are named after places in Britain and India?

    Dunedin after Edinburgh, Clutha after the river Clyde, Bombay after Mumbai, and Cashmere after Kashmir to name four.

    They were so embarrassed they changed their names to avoid us.

  3. While the heavy rain seems to have passed, Clutha rivers are still high with water coming from Central Otago because of the snow melt.

    The following wastewater treatment plants in the Clutha district are overflowing:

    Balclutha
    Kaitangata
    Kaka Point
    Milton
    Owaka
    Tapanui
    Waihola

    Residents should treat floodwaters as though they were contaminated. More info in the story.

  8. Then and Now. In 1976 I had a holiday in Central Otago with a special friend. Nearly 50 years on much has changed, but the beauty of this part of Aoteatora has not. The photos were taken in 1976 and 2024 respectivily, on the same spot on the bridge at Clyde [named after another murderous Englishman, Lord Clyde of the Indian Mutiny and Opium Wars infamy], with the Mata-Au/Clutha flowing underneath.

  18. The triangle #intersection again from yesterdays #rural drive. Pics by @unearth except the last by me. #Clutha District, New Zealand #NewZealand

    1st pic shows bee holes, there were lots of mini-bees like miniature honeybees! They were on the bare ground by the gravel road.
