A Golden Experience

Today 8R12 explored the old gold mines in Karangahake gorge and the newer mines in Waihi. 

"It was interesting how much old mining material was still lying around. " - Sebastian

"How on Earth did they make those tunnels back in the old days?" - Max

"I wonder just how many people died when these mines were working? Try looked so dangerous." - Jonathan

"When was the last time this mine was used?" - Fraser

"I wish we could've explored the really long tunnels. Just how long are they?" - Hamish

"In what area did they find the most gold?" - Liam

"Just how did they actually mine the old mines?!" - Dom

"I can't believe that when Martha Mine is closed it will fill with lots of water over seven years!" - Holly

To think that olden-day miners had to worry about rats eating their good!" - Kayla
