A historic cemetery on Mesopotamia Station in the headwaters of the Rangitata River holds the last resting place of Dr Andrew Sinclair, Colonial Secretary to the New Zealand Government.
Alert: following the earthquake of 4 September 2010 the kilns are closed to the public. Built in the late 1800s, the Staveley Lime Kilns are excellent examples of early New Zealand industry. .
