Copper mining on Kawau Island

Sightseeing

Message from Ciska de Jong

Good side adventure! From a reviewer: A wonderful piece of history. This building was the engine room for pumping water out of the mine. While a lot of the building has fallen down over the years, it is still worth a visit. New Zealand's first real export was copper. Look at the caves, mine shafts while you are here. Then pop over to see the smelting house and Mansion house in Bon Accord harbour
