Shining a light on Luggate Creek

What do you know about the Luggate Creek?

Jenny Moss has been a resident in the Upper Clutha since 1975, when she and her husband rst came to teach in Wanaka. Over the decades she learned and taught local Upper Clutha history to pupils, but it was not until she and her husband moved to Luggate in 2012 that she began to learn the unique history of the Luggate Creek. Jenny has now published a ‘not-for-pro t’ picture book for all ages. The book has been possible with grants from the Upper Clutha Arts Council, the Elsie and Ray Armstrong Charitable Trust and Upper Clutha Transport.

‘Our Creek To Matou Awaawa Otago’s Luggate Creek’ is beautifully illustrated by Kerry Perkins. There is so much to learn about this creek from pre-ice age through to how we ensure a healthy eco system now and into the future.

All book sales support the construction of an information history board near the creek in Taylor Reserve, Luggate.

Books cost $25 and can be purchased at Revology, The Wanaka Library, WAI Wanaka or email luggatecreekbook@gmail.com
