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.

Was gold found in central otago?

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.
