My pioneers who settled on the Taieri plain, often named their farms after places in their home country and that is the case with my family. “Arkleston” and “Greenlaw” were the two names that contributed to the lore of the Taieri plain by my direct family.
But there is also another name, Silverside, that seems to refer to the area around the Silverstream, which is a stream that flows around Mosgiel and joins the Taieri River.
What I would like to know, is what area is actually covered by the term Silverside?
