There's Gold In Those Hills

The Southern Alps and Sheep.....where else could we be BUT New Zealand.

Cromwell, New Zealand's capital of pears and peaches!

After driving all day, Carlos and I found a local hike through what used to be a gold mining site.


Gold was first discovered here in the late 1800's.  And this area stopped being mined in the 1930's.

The landscape post-mining.  I'm betting it wasn't so pretty at the time of mining.
