Shanty Town, New Zealand
Continuing south we stopped at Shantytown– 30 historic buildings recreate a 19th Century pioneer town, inspired by the West Coast gold rushes of the 1860s. It is like stepping back in time, with the old time shops displaying their relics from days gone by. We rode an old time steam train and panned for gold which is really no easy task. It gave us a new respect for those early gold prospectors.
