Television, 1985 (Documentary, Nature)
Central Otago’s broad, dry landscape is dominated by an extreme climate; it is scarred by wind, ice and industry. Deep mining shafts and long rusted sluicing guns pepper this second stage of Peter Hayden’s traverse across latitude 45 south. He visits the quartz covered Mt Buster, NZ’s highest diggings, where unseasonal blizzards often claimed miners’ lives. The layout of Nasby’s graveyard yields information on the hierarchy of the goldfields. The flora – mountain totara, carnivorous sundews and a heather variety that grows horizontally – is fascinating.
