Carricktown and a bit further
The walk up the Caledonian spur in the Carrick range behind Bannockburn is on 4 wheel drive track through a belt of quartz reefs and the site of a Central Otago 19th century gold town.
Drive to Bannockburn and from there up Schoolhouse Road, turn into Gully Road then Quartzville Road until the gated entrance is found on the left. The walk starts here to Quartzville and then on passing through Carricktown and up through mullock heaps etc.to a couple of stone dams which is the lunch spot. About 6 to 7 km one way.
Great views down to Cromwell and the Clutha valley.
