Not the best weather today so we’re driving around a bit. Whilst driving north along Lake Dunstan we see signs about Bendigo and old mines so we have a look. First is a little walk to the New Bendigo Mine. Exciting!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Until you get there that is as this is it, the New Bendigo Mine. I didn’t bring any torch anyway so this little walk was a waste of time<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We then went to where the actual mines are\/were, there are still some ruins to be seen<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Like this one<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And this one, the blacksmith’s place<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Entrance to the actual mine is properly secured<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The surrounding hills<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Of so many old buildings in NZ only the fireplace is still standing<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Luckily back in the day they had horses for this<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

After Bendigo we drive to Lake Wanaka, the ONLY thing we end up doing here is buy some (yummy) kebab and then head back to Clyde\/Alexandra<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Vallance Cottage<\/a> in Alexandra, after this we drove to Homestead Shelter near St Bathans, tomorrow will be another day of proper 4WD’ing<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
