One of the landmarks in Arrowtown

#springitinerary The Mary Cotter Tree was planted way back in 1867, in the heart of Arrowtown. It’s named after little Mary Cotter, who was just two years old when she charmed the workers planting the tree by dancing around the young sapling. Today, this tree stands as a beautiful reminder of the town’s gold rush past and the close-knit community spirit that still thrives here. Visitors love to take part in the local tradition of skipping around the tree three times, believed to bring good luck. If you’re wandering through Arrowtown’s historic streets, don’t miss this charming and meaningful landmark!
