Cromwell Trip

We had a great time visiting Cromwell even though it was a cold day.  We saw lots of things at the museum.  We walked around Old Cromwell Town and had lunch looking out at the Kawarau River.  After lunch we went to the Kawarau Mining Centre. We got to touch some real gold nuggets!!  And ...  we saw a stamper battery just like the model machine at the muesum.  The man got it going to show how it crushed the rocks to find the gold.  It is amazing to watch the rods going up and down as well as hear the stamping noises it made. We also walked around the Goldmining Village.  Cromwell Goldmining Day was alot of fun.
