Dunstan Creek 150 - Sunday
Location: The Domain
Region: St Bathans
Dunstan Creek 150 is a celebration of our heritage from the earliest days of sheep runs being taken up, to the influx of miners and the discovery of gold, the dividing of large runs into settlement “hundreds” and smaller farm acreages leading to townships of Cambrian (Welshman's Gully or Old Dunstan Creek) St Bathans (Dunstan Creek) and Becks (Beck's or White Horse) being estabished along with need for businesses, schools, churches, sports clubs, social clubs.
We hope folk will come from near and far to join the locals in celebrating this unique and beautiful part of New Zealand, whether to see where their ancestors started out, to visit their old schools, to look at the mountains where they mustered, the halls where they danced, to chat with old friends, or just to enjoy the Central countryside.
