Mount Cargill Weather – Buy or view the Ōtepoti | Dunedin gallery
Finding myself watching a storm roll in from Dunedin’s south coast, I decided a good vantage point to watch it from would be Mount Cargill. Mount Cargill is named after Captain William Cargill, an early leader of the Free Church Settlers to Dunedin. It is situated around 15 kilometers north of the city and gives a panoramic view of the whole city which is simply astonishing. As I stood and watched the darkening clouds engulf the harbour, I had to admire the geographic location of Dunedin. On one side of Mt Cargill a summer storm was bringing wind and rain, while the other stood in beautiful sunshine.
Are yes I’m very familiar with Mt Cargill as I lived in Sawyers Bay for about 12 years and the weather could be the complete opposite from Dunedin to Port Chalmers sometimes
