Lawrence is a historic Otago town near Gabriel's Gully, where Gabriel Read's discovery of gold in May 1861 sparked New Zealand's first major gold rush. Within months some 14,000 hopefuls had pitched their tents on the Tuapeka field, a flood of miners that helped push Dunedin to become the largest city in the country. Today Lawrence is a small heritage town on the Southern Scenic Route, its main street lined with Victorian buildings from those boom years.
