#2176 Goldfields Mining Centre

Goldfields Mining Centre, Cromwell, 🇳🇿 New Zealand

About this Stone

Goldfields Mining Centre is one of the best historic attractions near Queenstown, located in the Kawarau Gorge between Queenstown and Cromwell (about 25 minutes by car). It preserves an authentic gold-mining site where gold was mined for over 100 years—and visitors can still pan for real gold today.
