I love Wanaka because ever since I was a little my family and would go and spend time with some very very good family friends at their holiday house for new years, Easter and sometimes Christmas. My three favourite places in Wanaka are the Lakeside, Cardrona Ski Field and Town ! I love these places beacuse they are fun and they are where I am with my friends and more importantly my Family (:

__Wanaka History__

From the 1870s through the early 1900s the Criffel Range was alive with gold mining activity. Most of the activity was related to getting water to the diggings in the dry environment. Named after Criffel, a small scottish town near surveyor James McKerrows home, the Criffel Range was farmed under 14 year crown licenses from the late 1850s. In 1860, Criffel Station was acquired by Henry Campbell as a part of the new Wanaka station. Throughout the 1860s Musterers enjoyed the stunning views while other parts of Otago were busy with people searching for gold. This ment a town slowly grew.
