Cromwell Heritage Precinct One of Central Otago’s best kept secrets, Cromwell Heritage Precinct is tucked away on the shores of Lake Dunstan, at the confluence of the Kawarau and Clutha arms of the lake. Evolving from an idea in the mideighties, this heritage village has been developed by volunteers over the years. Some buildings have been re-built from stone from the original buildings while others are a faithful re-creation built to modern building code. It is not only a delightful and free visitor attraction with historical displays and charming buildings, but also a hub for artists and craftspeople. The schist stone cottages and shops are tenanted by a quality-focused arts collective, international-standard printmaker, renowned goldsmith, a colourful fibre artist and a plant expert and maker of herbal creams and perfumes. There are also unique gift outlets, three great cafes as well as a bike rental store. The historic displays tell the story of the incredible 1860s gold rush when sparsely populated Central Otago was suddenly inundated with thousands of hopeful prospectors. Children love the talking ‘locals’ who tell the yarns, lifesize horses and secret alleyways, fairy doors as well as the ducks, fishing wharf and picnic areas. Now the precinct is being discovered by bike enthusiasts who are exploring the recently opened trail through the Cromwell Gorge. Every day over summer hundreds of cyclists have set off to ride through the beautiful Bannockburn Inlet and down the true right bank of the Cromwell Gorge. On holiday in Cromwell?

SOUTHERN HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS AUTUMN-WINTER <strong>2022</strong> CROMWELL | 19 OCTA Gallery A ‘good old’ bricks and mortar gallery, celebrating ten successful years without a website or social media presence. Director, Chris de Jong, brings extensive knowledge, enthusiasm and experience in art and education into the gallery, celebrating the work of artists he regards himself fortunate to represent. As part of the ever-changing display at OCTA you will find prints and paintings by artists such as Kathryn Madill, Euan Macleod, Inge Doesburg, Peter Cleverley and Gail de Jong. In addition, on show, there is usually a range of original prints by Ralph Hotere, Pat Hanly, Marilynn Webb, Nigel Brown, Michel Tuffery, Philip Beadle, Kelvin Mann, Jo Ogier, Gregory O’Brien, John Pule, Tony Fomison and other noteworthy individuals. Three-dimensional work includes ceramics by Jim Cooper, Blue Black, Suzanne Butson, Yannick Fourbet, and John Stroomer’s pots complete with extraordinary crystalline glazes. You will find a surprising range of Modern European Art in the gallery with limited edition lithographs by Picasso, Braque, Chagall, Rouault, Matisse, Miro, Tapies……, which were mostly printed by the famed ‘Freres Mourlot’, in Paris, during the early and mid-20th Century As well as paintings, prints and ceramic pieces there are a number of art books and publications of historical interest available for sale. OCTA Gallery and Workshop is located at 71 Melmore Terrace in Cromwell’s Historic Precinct and welcomes visitors daily from 10am- 4pm. www.cromwellheritageprecinct. co.nz Objects of Art: custom creations Hidden in the heart of Cromwell Heritage Precinct, the workshop of Les Riddell is a wonderland of handcrafted jewellery, art objects and curios. Aptly touting the name Objects of Art, everything found in the gallery has a one off, creative appeal. Whether it is constructed from gold, silver bone or stone, there is something for everyone. Custom made work is only limited to your imagination. Many a customer has entered with the trepidation of receiving a rustic root canal. While much of the equipment is related to that found in dental venues, Les assures his visitors that though he can offer a long slow root canal, trying on an array of glittering rings will be much more satisfying. After all, the Murrell cottage once stood as the simultaneous office of the local dental clinic, watchmakers and mayoral seat, all held by the talented Mr Murrell. After 120 years, Les has brought the cottages use full circle, though he has yet to run for mayor. A pretty clever fellow, we wouldn’t put it past him. Stop in on your visit to the Heritage Precinct. You will be inspired by the jewellery on display and be able to view it all in the making through the gallery windows!
