Arrowtown Attractions

 
20km northeast of Queenstown, in the valley of the Arrow River and at the foot of the Crown Range, is the old gold-miners' settlement of Arrowtown (pop. 1,000). Due to its charming setting it has now developed into an important tourist center.

Gold was found here in 1862, but only a year later gold mining suffered a severe setback when many prospectors were drowned in a devastating flood.
