The Best Attractions In Middlemarch

1. Sutton Salt Lake Middlemarch
Sutton Salt Lake in Otago, is New Zealand's only inland salt water lake. It is located 10 kilometres west of Sutton, in the Strath Taieri. The lake is filled only by rainwater and dries up during periods of warm weather and little rain.Sutton Salt Lake is also unique in that it lies in a region of windy cool-temperate maritime climate. This makes it different from most of the world's saline lakes, which usually form in arid continental landscapes. The total area of the lake, when the shallow depression is filled with rainwater, is nearly two hectares. The nearest coast is 50 kilometers from the lake.The area around Sutton Lake gets 500 mm of rainfall annually. Coastal hills create a minor barrier to the rain, halving the amount of rainfall that the lake receives. Strong winds increase the ...

4. Rail Trail Middlemarch
The Otago Central Rail Trail is a 150-kilometre walking, cycling and horse riding track in the South Island of New Zealand. A pioneering project for New Zealand, the successful cycle trail joined the New Zealand Cycle Trail umbrella organisation in 2012, having been one of the inspirations for it.The trail runs in an arc between Middlemarch and Clyde, along the route of the former Otago Central Railway. The trail has become a popular tourist attraction, with 10,000–12,000 users per year as a conservative estimate, and yearly user increases for 6 out of the last 7 years . The trail is also accepted as being, by a large margin, the biggest non-farming economic factor in the Maniototo-Alexandra area.

7. Clutha Gold Trail Roxburgh
The Clutha River / Mata-Au is the second longest river in New Zealand and the longest in the South Island. It flows south-southeast 338 kilometres through Central and South Otago from Lake Wanaka in the Southern Alps to the Pacific Ocean, 75 kilometres south west of Dunedin. It is the highest volume river in New Zealand, and the swiftest, with a catchment of 21,960 square kilometres , discharging a mean flow of 614 cubic metres per second . The Clutha River is known for its scenery, gold-rush history, and swift turquoise waters.

Cycling High Country Rail Trail 2015

Cycling High Country Rail Trail 2015 is a 4-minute 720p hi-def video showing an enjoyable 40km bike ride from Wodonga to Tallangatta by Andrew and Trevor on Monday 30th March 2015. We began the day with a car shuffle to leave a car at Tallangatta and then from the water tower at Wodonga, we rode on our hybrid bikes to Kangaroo General Store at Bonegilla for morning tea.
Then passing many attractions, admiring great scenery beside Lake Hume, and after crossing the 600 metre long Sandy Creek Bridge, we eventually arrived at Tallangatta where we had a late lunch at Mj's Bakery. We enjoyed great weather, but November could be a better time as more water would be in Lake Hume.
