Clutha Gold Trailhttps://www.cluthagold.co.nz/plan-your-trip/trail-mapshttps://centralotagonz.com/tracks-and-trails/clutha-gold-trail/Beaumont to Lawrence - 19.4km From Beaumont you start the climb towards the highest point of the trail and through the Big Hill Tunnel (a torch is recommended for the tunnel). After the tunnel you descend into lush green farmland connecting with and crossing the highway several times, before arriving in Lawrence - Otago's first gold rush town. There are many reminders of the area's history along the route, including discovery of gold, milling flax fibre for rope making around Evans Flat and the arrival of the Chinese prospectors to the goldfields.
