Oct 24: Broken Hills Goldmine Ruins

After our workstay in Kaipara, we hit the road again, loaded up with fresh picked lemons, limes and avocados. Our host was kind enough to lend me some plywood and the use of his tools to build a slide-out cooking table for van, it blocks the wind and slides under the bed when done; it has been working great for us so far, a huge improvement!

We drove to Broken hills in the Coromandel region, it was once a gold rush town in the early 1900's, now there's a DOC campground and you can walk around and look at the old mining tunnels. They are now full of Wetas, a giant insect native to New Zealand. Jill didn't like them at all!
