About Dunedin

Dunedin lies on the central-eastern coast of Otago, extending out into the surrounding valleys and hills onto the Otago Peninsula, and along the shores of the Otago Harbour and the Pacific Ocean.

Dunedin was created as a gold mining town by Scottish immigrants, the traces of whom are still prominent across the city.
