: : Old mining tunnel : : {Saw lots of these!} |
: : So there's room to walk upright, but yeah . . . doesn't look particularly inviting! : : |
: : This view is a whole lot better ;) : : |
: : Uncle Paul + Aunty Yvonne with overhanging cliff : : |
: : Woohoo, another swing bridge! : : |
: : Not sure who these people are?! : : |
: : The walkways look small in comparison to the huge cliffs! : : |
: : Stairway leading up to the tunnels : : |
Dusk was well on its way when we finished walking and headed back to the vehicles. A stop was made at Paeroa for dinner, and then Grace and I attempted to hold a conversation between the erm, rather loud, noises coming from the back seat. lol
Wow, looks absolutely awesome!!! I'll have to go there sometime... How deep do the mining tunnels go, just a few feet, or proper shafts?
ReplyDeleteYeah it was really good! There were a lot along the side like the one pictured (and signs saying not to step off the track in case there was a shaft you didn't see) but I'm not sure how far they went tbh. The stairs lead up to a series of shafts though which you can walk through (take a torch!).
DeleteRight. Yeah, I love that sort of stuff, just don't do enough of it is the problem... :P Looks like such a beautiful place though...
DeleteYeah join the club lol. It was! Too bad someone packed old batteries :/
DeleteWow, looks like it would have been fun!
ReplyDeleteWhen did you go here?
Yeah it was pretty cool! :) Umm Easter Monday so I guess that makes it April 6th?
DeleteAh yep, I read further down and saw part 1, hehe a picture of you on there, nice work! I possibly saw where it was, but I must've misread it, where exactly is Karangahake Gorge?
DeleteHaha thx lol ;) Umm no I didn't say actually, but it's at the bottom of the Coromandel Peninsula :)
DeleteAh, so not that far away then, really. For some reason I thought it was off towards Wellington sort of area....lol. Never actually been to the Coromandel... :)
DeleteNah we wouldn't go to Welly for a day lol ;) It's quite nice down there; just everything's really expensive since it's a tourist location :/
DeleteBee, I don't know what you mean by loud voices from the back seat. Please explain.
ReplyDeleteUmm let's see. 2 boys + 1 girl in the back seat = poke + tickle + tease = *SQUEAL* *scream* *triumphant shouts* Does that help at all? :P hehehe
