Danseys Pass is an alpine unsealed, narrow road winding through and over the Kakanui mountain range. Bill’s remuneration was in beer, and he received one pint for every schist boulder shaped and laid. Danseys Pass Coach Inn is located deep within the Kyeburn Diggings about 20km from Naseby and has a colourful history traced back to 1860s, when it serviced a multicultural gold prospecting community of 200. Teamsters with their wagon train plying trade between Waitaki Basin and Central Otago gold fields used the Coach Inn as a stopover when travelling on to the more remote prospecting areas of central Otago. There was once a thriving community at Kyeburn Diggings, the Mount Ida Chronicle of 1870 lists business places at Kyeburn Diggings as three hotels, three stores, one butchery and one bakery.
Coal mining was also important at Kyeburn, and good quality ignite was worked until 1900. One report in 1880 estimated the number of Chinese working the diggings as six hundred. There was even a Chinese store about two hundred yards above German Creek, which was not pulled down until 1920. In September 1869 the first service was held in the new Union Church, the preacher being The Reverend James Burchette.
This tiny church served the community for twelve years, and was then moved next to the school and used as a library. Today only the Danseys Pass Coach Inn, first built in 1862 and standing at 2,00ft about sea level remains to remind travellers of a colourful history, and a gold prospecting community of more than two thousand souls
