Kellas’ patch is the whole peninsula, and he has been in charge here since 1984. He comes from a fifth-generation peninsula family. One of his forebears was involved with early gold workings on Harbour Cone in the 1870s. Kellas himself, as well as being president of the A & P Society, is writing a history of the Territorials in Otago and Southland, and has a good knowledge of local history.
