The Bannockburn App is a guide for the village of Bannockburn in Central Otago, New Zealand — one of the most historically layered and naturally extraordinary corners of the South Island.
Whether you're a visitor arriving for the first time or a local who has lived beside the sluicings for decades this app has a rich tapestry of information, stories, and if you are visiting this is a must have for your stay!

A field guide to Bannockburn's birds, mammals, fish, plants, insects, and reptiles — illustrated with photos, conservation status, and bird call recordings. Species range from the endemic New Zealand Falcon and Otago Skink to the introduced Chukar and Californian Quail.
HISTORY
Fourteen historical identities — Māori, European settlers, Chinese gold miners, and pioneering women — told through GPS-anchored stories and five immersive audio books narrating the gold rush, the sluicings, Quartzville, Carricktown, and the transition to farming and vines.
3D LANDSCAPE
An interactive three-dimensional terrain model of the entire Bannockburn basin built from real elevation data. Drag to rotate, and follow the eight trail networks as overlays across the landscape.
The app works best with a connection but all text and locally bundled audio is available offline.
