Milton is a town with a passionate local community which boasts some great independent shops ranging from a butcher to quirky second-hand stores. Milton is a busy agricultural town in the Clutha District acting as a transport hub to interior Otago, Southland as well as the iconic Catlins tourist route. There is one of New Zealand\u2019s unsung glorious beaches, Bull Creek and the nearby Taieri Mouth area to linger in. Milton is home to a nationally significant wetland with its numerous birds making it a hot spot for birders of all stripes.
