15/3 - Waihi

Hi All,

Waihi
Waihi is one of the most famous gold mining towns in New Zealand, the history of this period is apparent everywhere her, with production hidden behind the leafy slopes close to the main street.
here we met super-mom, Toya is a mom to 8 children, she raise them by herself and home-schooling them as well.



Karangahake Gorge:
The Karangahake Gorge region near Waihi town combines gold mining history and natural beauty, much of it accessible through a variety of walks.
we choose to do the windows walk trail, this spectacular walk passes through tunnels high up on a cliff face, with window-like openings which look down on a river gorge far below. to go inside the tunnels we had to use a torch.





Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
