Mount Buster Photo as a Poster Print.

What better way to display a striking image of Mount Busters Mining Heritage, than on a custom state of the art colour poster.

These gold mining tailings add an extra spectacular feature to the already spectacular views from the top of Mount Buster, in Otago, New Zealand.

They were created by the sluicing process of gold extraction that occurred in the late 1800's as part of the great South Island Gold Rush. The truly fascinating aspect of them, apart from the conditions the miners had to endure to chase the gold up in these exposed mountains, is that the sand has, at some time in the distant past been at sea level, and pushed up over a thousand meters by the tectonic forces that created the entire South Island.

On these highlands, the prospectors were subjected to temperatures as low as -15 degrees centigrade, 2 meter deep snow, and winds of over 120 kilometers per hour over the winter months.

The cemetery at nearby Hamilton's Diggings bears testament to the toll the hunt for gold took.

We were there with a group of Four Wheel Drivers who were exploring the local mountain tops as part of a week long fundraiser tour of the area, to raise money for the Otago Rescue Helicopter Trust.

Coming up the access track through early morning low cloud we had no idea what we were about to come across. The cloud cleared to this view just as we reached the top, the whole group was mesmerised.

The line-up of vehicles in the “On Location” image are parked on the "beach" area beside the huge water filled hole that marks the actual mine that all that sand (and gold) came from.

This breathtakingly vibrant portrait is available in four sizes, a multi application 12x18 or make a real statement with the incredible 24x36” that will make a feature of any wall or alcove.
