Farm field in Clydevale
Primarily a sheep, beef and dairy farming area, you’ll find the small town of Clydevale 30 kilometres north-west of the South Otago town of Balclutha. Close by is the Danone milk factory which produces the Karicare brand of infant formula, there’s a few local businesses, a rugby club and that’s about it. Yet, there’s something quite delightful about the whole area. Maybe it’s the very big river that runs through the town or maybe it’s just that, a small country town.
All roads go to Clydevale.
Lots of history.
!00 years ago the first steamer load of lambs travelled from
Tuapeka upstream of Clydevale.
Lambs from Bennies farm traveled to Balclutha to the freezing works.
Didn’t know anything about this town but sounds as though it’s quite busy and that the towns people have a quiet area to live and work in
