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.

The place you’re referring to is likely "Ophir," located in Central Otago, New Zealand. It was named after the biblical land of Ophir, but the name is also associated with a local legend about a hungry gold prospector who, during the gold rush, famously exclaimed "I'm starving!" while searching for gold. Ophir became known for its rich gold deposits during the 1860s and is now a small, historic settlement.
One notable town in Otago where significant gold was discovered is Lawrence. During the Otago Gold Rush in the 1860s, Lawrence became a bustling hub as miners flocked to the area in search of fortune. The discovery of gold in the nearby Tuapeka River led to a population boom and the establishment of various services and businesses to support the mining community. Today, Lawrence retains its historic charm and serves as a reminder of the gold rush era.
