A history of Gimmerburn, the land that God forgot to finish

A history of Gimmerburn, the land that God forgot to finish

Keith Scott
4/5 ( ratings)
What was this land that these people came to see as home. It was as brutal as it was bountiful, a place for hope and a place for despair, Gimmerburn farmer Harold Davis once remarked when speaking of the Maniototo not having electric power, "This is the land that God forgot to finish". His comment applies to everything about this place and all aspects of its story, at times it was heaven-sent and at others it was hellish, as giving as it was unforgiving. But because of that, it made a group of settlers of the past into a society that continues in the present. Here is the story of how that happened.
