Husaberg, were you thinking of the other thread with Grumph and the Ngahere?

Birchfield Minerals - Grey River Gold Dredge @ Ngahere when I saw it

Probably way passed that stop now.

I still have the Shirt.

Well worth any chance of getting a look inside.

Gold mining on a scale probably unseen in the Nth Island except at Waihi

And for those going via road, from memory these are the best roads I can remember being on.

That picture brings back good memories of a great period in my life.

Ah yes OK.

just have to wait for the gold price to rise again.....

And

the coal price.....

so I am going to have to wait a wee bit longer to see it in action.
Unless I buy it.......

Next time I am in the Sth Is I will try and make it on the bike.

It needs high gold price and low power price, plus less conditions from the objecting neighbour to run 24/7. Its a shame as it really makes a lot of productive land, while straightening out the river.
Funny enough the family that owns it also has a rather large coal mining interests as well, as other large scale gold mines.
I have always thought it was a shame it wasn't converted to diesel electric.
