Southern Heritage Sites
Otago Trails

This website offers a number of carefully designed themed trails which will allow you to explore selected aspects of heritage throughout Otago or simply to investigate the heritage of a particular locality.
Northern Cemetery

This website brings together information from many different research sources to offer you a unique view of one of New Zealand's most interesting cemeteries.
The cemetery remembers many of Dunedin's and New Zealand's early settlers and founding residents, such as entrepreneur William Larnach, Charles Speight and Poet, Legislator and Journalist Thomas Bracken.
Dunedin Gasworks Museum

"The Dunedin Gas Works Museum is one of only three preserved gasworks in the world, and by far the best and most complete", says Sir Neil Cossons, former Chairman of English Heritage and a noted authority on the history of industrial archaeology, museums and conservation. The Dunedin Gasworks Museum is important as the only surviving and preserved example of a city gasworks where the process is explained and the equipment demonstrated.
