Livingstone, Canterbury

Livingstone is a small settlement in the Canterbury part of Waitaki District, in the South Island of New Zealand.

More commonly considered to be in Otago, It is located northeast of Danseys Pass, some 30 kilometres northwest of Oamaru.

It is located immediately north of the boundary to Otago regional administered area.

The settlement was home to the nearby Livingstone gold fields, which proved to be an uneconomic venture.

[2] Although gold was, and still is, found, the fine nature of its makeup proved to be hard to accumulate.
