Ross is a small gold-rush town on the West Coast south of Hokitika, born in the 1860s when miners poured into the diggings at Jones Creek and the population briefly topped two thousand. In 1909 two miners unearthed the Honourable Roddy, at 3.1 kilograms still New Zealand's largest gold nugget, named for the Minister of Mines and later gifted to the Crown. Visitors can still rent a pan at the Ross Goldfields heritage centre and try their luck in the creek where it all began.
