The Longwood Range is a range of hills to the west of the Southland Plains, Southland, New Zealand.[1] From the 1860s until the 1950s gold mining was prevalent in the Longwood Ranges.[2] There are many small towns and localities situated around the periphery of these hills: clockwise from the south-east, these include Riverton, Pourakino Valley, Colac Bay, Pahia, Orepuki, Tuatapere, Otautau and Thornbury.[3]
The highest point of the range is Bald Hill, west of Otautau, and is used for a cellphone tower.[4]
