History
Panorama from the Whale Fossil lookout near Milburn
A large whalefossil can be found in a display at a lookout over the limeworks, Tokomairaro Plains and Lake Waihola.
Milburn was named after Morris Milburn, who came to New Zealand from Sunderland, North East of England in The United Kingdom in 1858. He arrived at Lyttelton harbour aboard The Zealandia. "He journeyed overland to Dunedin doing the greater part of the trip by foot. In Otago he followed the goldfields with varying fortune incidental to a miners life. Working successfully at Gabriel's Gully at Molyneux and at Milburn, the last mentioned place being named after him" (Excerpt from Morris Milburn's Obituary from The Lyttelton Times December 1906, accessed from Papers Past).
