The Branches

At the headwaters of the Shotover River, past Skippers Saddle and through the infamous gorge, lies one of New Zealand’s last great high country stations. The Branches has been home to gold miners, runholders, and farming families for over 150 years. This is the first comprehensive history of this remarkable place and the people who have made it home. From the gold rush pioneers who first worked the river flats, through generations of farming families who battled snow, flood, and isolation, to the modern partnership that now stewards 96,000 acres of pristine high country, The Branches tells the story of a landscape that tests everyone who ventures beyond the end of the road.
