FEATURES Dannevirke European settlement of Dannevirke began on 15 October 1872 with the arrival of 13 Danish and eight Norwegian families brought out under the Vogel Immigration Scheme. These pioneers were immediately allocated sections and then it was to work, clearing the vast "Seventy Mile Bush", building roads and establishing the railway. In their spare time, which was rare indeed they put their efforts into housing themselves. With the clearing of bush, timber mills arrived bringing English speaking immigrants with them. As the land was cleared, so farmland was developed and Dannevirke was growing toward becoming an important service centre for the rural community. Farming from the coastal areas was moving to the west while from the Ruahine Ranges was moving east and in due course came together. Dannevirkes Scandinavian heritage remains today but perhaps to a lesser extent than it deserves. Street names of the era such as Hamlet, Thyra, and Christian Streets are constant reminders. Cemeteries are now of considerable importance historically and the "Settlers Cemetery" attracts many visitors. The local Scandinavian Club is small but active and can often be seen taking visitors from those far away countries around the points reflecting their heritage. With changes to farming patterns and the economy, Dannevirke has changed too, apart from being a service centre it has now become a popular stopping point for visitors. The 20 hectare Domain is a great place to stop off if you are passing through or to visit if stopping over. Enjoy the gardens while the children make good use of the impressive "Viking Ship" playground. The lower section of the Domain is scenic and tranquil, ideal for a picnic before viewing the deerpark and wandering across the bridge at the duck pond. The camping ground is also set in this area.
