Yes, much gold was found in the broad Central Otago region. Most of this was alluvial, with the parent source being the rich ores of Shotover and Arrow during earlier eras when the landscapes were vastly different. There was some ore gold won however, notably from the Bendigo field, and in modern times, from Macraes. There was a minor ore field near Oturehua.
