Silverpeaks

The Silverpeaks is an area of rough forest and scrub covered hill country inland and to the northwest of Dunedin, New Zealand. The area is largely uninhabited, the main indication of human activity being the Taieri Gorge Railway, which runs along the steep-sided valley of the Taieri River. As the name suggests, the region is often snow-coated in winter, and the weather in the Silverpeaks is notoriously unpredictable.

Several of the peaks rise to above 600 metres, with the highest few rising to almost 750 metres. Antimony was once mined near Hindon, the largest settlement in the area.
