Great Moss Swamp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Moss Swamp (also known as the Loganburn Reservoir) is located in Otago, New Zealand, at 45°33'S, 169°56'E. It lies in the Maniototo, close to the former gold mining route of the Old Dunstan Road, 85 kilometres to the northwest of Dunedin city centre.
The swamp lies on the upper surface of the Rock and Pillar Range (the Rock and Pillars are a horst range, and thus have a very flat top). Originally an actual swamp, a dam to store water for irrigation and hydroelectricity has turned the 'swamp' into a lake. The swamp is drained by the Logan Burn, which feeds into the Taieri River at Paerau.
