SUMMARY:HERITAGE TALKS: Moa – The life and death of New Zealand’s legendary bird
DESCRIPTION:When the bones of gigantic extinct birds were found in Aotearoa New Zealand by European scientists in the 1840s they created a worldwide sensation. The existence of the monstrous Moa on these remote and isolated islands was described as “the zoological discovery of the century” and soon their remains were uncovered from one end of the country to the other. However\, it was during the turbulent and exciting days of the Central Otago gold rushes that the most remarkable discoveries would be found\, and play vital roles in uncovering the many mysteries of the Moa. These discoveries and modern science have revealed a remarkable and surprising history – this region was once home to the greatest numbers and diversity of Moa anywhere in New Zealand. \n6:30pm Friday 22 August 2025\nClyde Museum Blyth St \nEntry by koha-donation with proceeds going to Clyde Museum. \nGuest Speaker : Quinn Berentson author of ‘Moa: The life and death of New Zealand’s legendary bird’\nBOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL \nBOOK NOWAbout the Author: \nListen to an interview with Quinn by Graeme Hill on RadioLive\nListen to an interview with Quinn by Kim Hill on Radio New Zealand National \nWinner of the 2013 New Zealand Post Best First Book Non Fiction for Quinn Berentson\nWinner of the 2013 Royal Society of New Zealand Science Book Prize

SUMMARY:HERITAGE TALKS: Preserving our history - one rose at a time
DESCRIPTION:Preserving the history of New Zealand one rose at a time is Murray Radka’s passion—a dedication that has earned him international recognition. \nA former Dunstan High School history and English teacher\, as well as a guidance counsellor\, Murray has established a rose museum on the outskirts of Clyde\, where he collects and cultivates roses brought by early settlers. \nMany of those who sailed to New Zealand from England knew they would likely never return. To keep a connection to home\, they brought cuttings of cherished plants. Rose cuttings\, often preserved by embedding them in potatoes for the long voyage\, were planted upon arrival. At the time\, a rose could cost the equivalent of a working man’s weekly wage. \nHistoric roses can still be found growing in former gold mining areas and around the ruins of old houses. Their presence reflects both the settlers’ emotional connection to them and the remarkable resilience of roses\, which have survived in Central Otago’s harsh climate without irrigation or spraying. \nDate: 6:30pm Wednesday 6th August\nVenue: Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery\nGuest Speaker : Murray Radka \nEntry by koha-donation with proceeds going to Central Stories Museum.  BOOK NOW! \nBOOK NOW!

SUMMARY:Heritage Talks : Children's Health & Wellbeing on the Otago Goldfields
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Annie Sohler-Snoddy\, of the University of Otago\, shares research to highlight how the littlest people can have big stories to tell about the past. \nWednesday 29 November\, 6:45pm\nClyde Museum\, Blyth St\nEntry by koha to Clyde Museum \nThe Central Otago Heritage Trust’s AGM will take place immediately prior to this presentation at 5:15pm. \nBetween 2018-2020 the University of Otago Department of Anatomy and Southern Archaeology conducted a series of excavations of unmarked graves at the ‘old’ cemetery at Ardrossan St\, in Lawrence (1861-1866)\, and at Drybread Cemetery near Omakau (mid to late 1800s). The aims of this project were to recover the unidentified dead\, learn about their lives through scientific analysis of their remains\, and rebury them with dignity and recognition. \nSome of the more poignant finds from this work have been the graves and remains of babies and young children. Children are not often thought of in the context of the Otago Goldrushes. However\, women and children were present on the Otago frontier from the very earliest days and were active members of their communities. \n[Featured image of young girl – courtesy of Queenstown Lakes Museum] \nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Grape Expectations - Part Two:  The road to taking our wine to the world
DESCRIPTION:The 1970s marked renewed interest in New Zealand viticulture with a few visionaries disregarding advice that Central Otago and the Gibbston valley were too cold\, too high and too far south to prosper. Alan Brady and Rudi Bauer talk about getting our region’s vineyards and wines onto the world stage. \n$10 entry  – includes a complimentary glass of wine from Quartz Reef  or The Wild Irishman.\n( Please bring cash to pay on the night) \nTuesday 26 September\, 6:30pm\nBannockburn Hall \n \nAlan Brady was one of the early pioneers to plant grapes in the Gibbston valley in the 1980s. That experimental plot produced Central Otago’s first commercial vintage in 1987. He was inducted into the New Zealand Wine Hall of Fame in 2013. After 40 years at Gibbston\, Alan moved to Clyde where he now produces wine under his Wild Irishman label. \nAustrian-born Rudi Bauer of Quartz Reef has been a stalwart of the Central Otago wine industry from its early days. He came here in 1989 to work at Rippon Vineyard. He went onto plant his pioneer\, biodynamic vineyard at historic Bendigo\nin 1998. Rudi is a two-time recipient of the New Zealand Winemaker of the Year Award.
