Rich Gold Mining History - Waihi & Karangahake Gorge | NEW ZEALAND

We took a day trip to the southern end of the Coromandel Peninsula in the Hauraki District, to visit Waihi and Karangahake Gorge. Places famous for their gold mining history. When we arrived in Waihi it was a quick visit to the i-site Gold Discovery Centre before walking across the road to check out the historic Cornish Pumphouse and Martha Mine. Waihi Gold Discovery Centre Address: 126 Seddon Street, Waihi 3610 Hours: Mon–Sun 9am–5pm A short drive later we arrived at Owharoa Falls. A pretty cascading waterfall, popular with locals for swimming in the summertime. For lunch we ate at Falls Retreat, conveniently located basically right next to Owharoa Falls (just a short drive up the road). Falls Retreat has indoor and outdoor seating with rustic vibes, friendly attentive staff and delicious food that uses a lot of fresh, organic, homegrown ingredients. We were especially in love with our yellowfin tuna entree! Falls Retreat Address: 25 Waitawheta Road, Waihi 3682 Hours: Tues–Sun 11am–8:30pm Mon Closed Last stop of the day was Karangahake Gorge to do the "windows walk". Such a great trek over suspension bridges, old tramlines, through historic gold mine tunnels that even have glow worms and framed views (the "windows" which are holes blasted out the side of the mountain) that look out over the mining heritage sites and river below. Just remember to bring a torch for the tunnels but turn them off after you get past the first window and look up to try spot some glow worms :) #waihi #karangahake #karangahake gorge #coromandal #newzealand #nz =============== VLOG DATE: 05 Jan 2021 =============== SUPPORT US If you enjoy our videos please remember to hit that thumbs up, share our video and/or leave us a comment, we really enjoy hearing from our viewers 🙂 If you're new to our channel, we hope you'll subscribe and turn on notifications so you can stay up to date with all our latest videos each week.
