Karangahake Gorge - gold mines

20 February 2012

I stopped in Karangahake gorge on my way to Tauranga to check out the ruins of the old gold batteries. There were tunnels, tracks and ruins everywhere.


Looking up into the gorge from the carpark


Train track leading along the side of the cliff face


Old gold mine tunnel


Cicada season with cicadas on every tree and branch along the track
