Dunedin

Dunedin is the South Island’s second largest city with a population of 128,000.

The city of Dunedin was established by Scottish colonists in 1848. The discovery of rich gold deposits in the province in 1852 led to rapid growth of the city and at one time it was New Zealand’s largest city. The farming industry is now the prime source of revenue for the city although tourism also brings in considerable numbers.

The popular holiday resorts of Queenstown and Wanaka are just two hours away by road.
