Guided Goldmine Walk

 Let your local guide from Nomad Safaris show you all the hidden places where so much gold was found!

 Be amazed by the gold treasures hiding around Queenstown.

Meet your guide in Queenstown and head out of town. In the late 1880s, Queenstown experienced one of the most prosperous gold mining times of New Zealand. You could find Gold either in the wild rivers in the area - the Shotover & Kawarau River - or by sluicing in the major hills for precious nuggets! As you would expect, some unbelievable stories are told. Your local guide Jenny will talk about the gold mining family with 10 sons and what their daily lives were like  'digging for gold'!
