Explore one of the Coromandel’s Valleys of Gold, with something for everyone. Witness the amazing views, history, rock formations, swing bridge, tunnel and waterfall. The track is an old horse-drawn tram track (muddy in places), and passes unusual andesitic rock formations en-route to the old camp and battery site of the Royal Standard Goldmine. The Wharekirauponga Falls provide a very scenic lunch stop.
