This weekend we headed to the Coromandel Peninsula to go camping - our first real holiday since arriving. On the way we stopped off at Karangahake Gorge which used to have a large scale gold mine operation in the late 19th century.
There are many walks in the area but we chose to do the famous "Windows" walk. This takes you along the old train tracks of the mine through the tunnels. The windows are gaps in the rock offering spectacular views down the gorge.
The tunnels were very dark in parts, and we forgot to take our torch, so ended up having to guide 3 pensioners through the tunnel with the aid of the light from our mobile phone!
