So it makes sense that its guna be on the other side of the pass / meyers pass that is have done more hunting than golding there but theres a good reason for that , as its easyer to find rocking horses shit than gold up there i only found super fine gold n for the energy spent it easyer to go to better rivers

Know one station owner down there , he probably owns wright in the middle of good gold area. Good blood in the reds down there too , Otago herd. Cheers for the heads up.

Kaiwarua Station is a long way from any place really not to sure who owns - runs it these days but check with the owners as they did close it to the public a while ago as a guy was shoot n killed n a hunting accident a year or 3 ago n i guess it was not in there interest to have the responsibility of any kind of mis adventure on there land . ill look for the link of the danseys claim in see if i can link it to here ive bin asked to leave a while ago .

I hunt on 2 stations surrounding Kaiwarua Stn. Had a aussie client out hunting last year on one of them , he spotted a area in the creek and said ''bugger me , would like to have a look in there for some gold , but all my gear is back home"!!! So been looking a few times but still learning where to look and dig.

Hunting Guide was the colour you found in the banks of the river or in a side creek.

Hunting Guide was the colour you found in the banks of the river or in a side creek. In the main creek , we were thru more on the Hacca side , next to Kaiwarua Stn. Was a ''S'' bend on the outside corner , high bank with quartz , black sand , and clay layers. Bedrock above the river too. If that means anything . . .
