Lots of planning, but no gold
An old hydraulic elevator gold mining pit turned scenic freedom camping swimming hole. This is an absolutely great place to spend a hot summers day, swimmers and anglers alike can bask in the beauty of the place as campers and day trippers can rest easy at the picnic tables. There is a toilet on site, but no trash cans. So if you plan to stay, please take out what you take in. Keep this place looking fresh for the next lot that show up.
Directions
So if heading from the South along highway 8, cross the Clutha at Millers flat and drive up the Teviot Road, and if coming from the North, cross the river at Roxburgh and drive on down Teviot Road. The place is pretty well signposted, even in the dark I managed to find it easy.
