Roxburgh, New Zealand
Roxburgh
is a small
New Zealand
town of about 750 people on the banks of the
Clutha River
, 40 km south of
Alexandra
in the
South Island
. It is on the main highway linking
Central Otago
(in which it lies) with the city of
Dunedin
, 155 km to the east. An important centre during the
Central Otago goldrush
of the
1860s
, in more recent times Roxburgh has relied on a mixture of livestock and
stone fruit
production for its economic survival. It is one of the country's most important
apple
growing regions, and other stone fruit such as
cherries
and
apricots
are also harvested locally. Five km to the north of the town is the
Roxburgh Dam
, the earliest of the major
hydroelectric
dams built on the Clutha.
