The lookout provided an expansive view of the gold mine below. The giant dump truck nearby was the subject of a few snaps. The ring structure like the Stargate from the movie made a good frame for a photo with the mine in the background.
This is a Cool way to see some Local History and a Full Scale Open Mine.Its a Nice easy Walk up from the Carpark and you can walk a couple of Different ways up and down.It only takes about 10 mins to get around it and has some seats to sit back and enjoy the view/rest,drink etc.Worth checking out as Waihi has a Lot of Goldmining History Locally and In Karangahape Gorge/Hauraki Rail Trail via Waihi or Paeroa.
Went there on our way back home from Tauranga, gives you a nice view over the mine and the surrounding area. We went also into the Goldmining Center where you can buy gifts and book tours. Worth an stop and a stroll through Waihi.
Good walk around pit rim. One impressive hole on what was once Martha hill.
Excellent view over the martha mine and awesome to see one of the gigantic diggers in real life as well. Good fun for the kids
