Coromandel
Coromandel is a coastal town on the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand's North Island. It's known for the Driving Creek Railway, a narrow-gauge train ride through mountain forests, past pottery sculptures. Powered by a huge waterwheel, the 1900s Coromandel Gold Stamper Battery still processes gold from rock. The town's gold mining history is chronicled at the Coromandel School of Mines and Historical Museum.
