Abstract
THE rocks and soils of Central Otago have fascinated men for more than 100 years, partly because they are such obvious features of an unusual landscape, but also because both have proved to be a source of wealth. The spectacular but short-lived harvest of gold served to open up the region to men who readily appreciated that the soils could be persuaded to yield much more than just this one, fickle, metallic crop. That their judgement was sound is indicated by the diverse and abundant agriculture flourishing in Central Otago today.Keywords
