A man walking along an Otago river has found the first preserved moa footprints in the South Island, believed to be millions of years old.

Michael Johnston was taking his boss's dogs for a walk along the Kyeburn River in March when he spotted the "odd looking" footprints submerged in clay, exposed after flooding late last year.

Johnston, a tractor driver, thought the footprints, which measured about 30 centimetres long and 30cm wide, could belong to the extinct bird.

A dozen workers are putting the final touches on top Dunedin bistro re-opening after a fire forced its closure nine months ago.

The blaze ripped through No 7 Balmac, a popular restaurant in the upmarket suburb of Maori Hill, on August 18.

It is set to open its doors again on Thursday – fingers crossed – says owner Katrina Toovey, who started the business about a decade ago.

The restaurant made headlines when James Bond actor Daniel Craig and his Oscar-winning wife Rachel Weisz dined at the restaurant in 2014, when Weisz was in Dunedin to film The Light Between Oceans.

Police deployed their own super hero after an unusual Dunedin callout.

The unnamed officer was dubbed "Spiderman" for his agility in climbing the roof of Logan Park High School on Wednesday, about 7pm, Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said.

While on the roof he chased three teenage offenders, who had been spotted acting suspiciously.

"They were actively avoiding police," Dinnissen said of the trio.

The uniformed crime fighter managed to track down the boys, aged 13, 14 and 15.

No items were taken and no damage was reported at the school, and it was unclear what the boys' motives were, he said.
