These gorges were mined for gold back in the discovery days of NZs past.


The gates kept unwanted claim jumpers from getting the stash.

These mines go in and out of the cliff, and give some pretty great views of the gorge!


Wow, it's like the ride in Disney, only this is for real! Where is Indiana Jones??

Um, they both look black in the distance... flip a coin?

after walking 10 min. the blackness continues, guess we'll turn back.

Looking up at the mines weaving in and out of the cliffs.
