Story: Otago region
Three generations of the Ding family take a break from hoeing their market garden at Outram, west of Dunedin, in 1964 (top); crates of produce are loaded onto a truck at the Dings’ garden, around 1961 (bottom). After the gold-mining era, a few Chinese miners did not return to China but took up vegetable growing to supply Dunedin’s households. They founded a small but distinct community in the city and surrounding districts.
