major service centre for the local farming district,
Ashburton sits between the Rakaia and Rangitata
Rivers. When European settlers first arrived here,
the area was a dry, tussock-covered expanse with
hardly any trees. Extensive irrigation schemes
have transformed the land, and the story of Ashburton’s
triumph over drought is told at the town’s
main museum (there are six museums in Ashburton,
including a vintage railway museum, aviation museum
and car museum). Local art and craft galleries
provide interesting shopping. Both of the nearby
rivers are known for salmon and sea-run trout.
Functional facts: Approx. population 16,000, full
range of shops and services, i-SITE Visitor Centre.
