Located in
the cusp between Central Otago and South-Eastern Otago, some 92km south-west
journey of Dunedin, Lawrence is today a peaceful farming centre and picturesque
tourist stopover with its beautiful trees, walking tracks, gold diggings and
museum.
Lawrence is largely a rural a
servicing centre although a number of businesses have blossomed since the
1990's, including Tuapeka Gold Print and a number of boutique cafes,
restaurants, accommodation facilities and tourism ventures. The town attracts
visitors because of historical associations, notably at Gabriels Gully.
Gabriel's Gully (follow the
signposts from Lawrence) contains Blue Spur, the scene of New Zealand's first
hydraulic elevator. Lawrence is a great place to stop for coffee, lunch or
ice-cream, or just to stretch your legs. There is a choice of fine cafes,
restaurants and a hotel catering to a variety of tastes.
