Members of Cotter family travel to Arrowtown for reunion

There's been a very special gathering in Arrowtown over the last few days, with members of the Cotter family coming far and wide to celebrate the history of the Cotter clan. From the mid 1800s to recent decades, the Cotter name was emblazoned on shopfronts in the streets of Arrowtown, after the Cotter brothers set up shop running anything from the general store, to running mining supplies. The very first Cotters came to Arrowtown from Ireland and went to California during the gold rush and then to Ballarat in Australia. Australia correspondent Peter Ryan is related to the Cotters by marriage and he spoke to Lisa Owen about making the trip to Arrowtown to join the reunion.
