Charlton

Among Southland’s settlements, Charlton stands out for its rural position near the Mataura River, in the farming country south of Gore. Pastoral agriculture shapes the surrounding open paddocks and gently rolling land, a marked contrast to the alpine terrain farther west on the South Island. The Mataura is one of Southland’s principal rivers, running south through the region toward Foveaux Strait. Charlton lies within the Gore district, where country music is an established part of local identity; Gore hosts the annual New Zealand Gold Guitar Awards.
