Outram, New Zealand

Outram is a rural suburb of Dunedin, New Zealand, with a population of 910 as of June 2024.

[3] It is located 28 kilometres west of the central city at the edge of the Taieri Plains, close to the foot of Maungatua.

The original town was formed at a river crossing (ferry then bridge) on a route to the Central Otago goldfields.

The village was moved following a flood in the late 19th century and relocated to its current location and still has the town's library.

Closure came as a result of an almost total absence of traffic caused by the development of road transport during the first half of the 20th century, and today, few remnants of the line are visible.

The 1982 movie Shaker Run features a brief scene shot in the main street of Outram.
