-- About this video --
The Goldfields Mining Centre is located along the stunning Kawarau Gorge between Queenstown and Cromwell. Here, there are so many things to do from jet boating with Goldfields Jet to taking a gold mining tour where you can prospect for gold in New Zealand!
First up, we try the Goldfields Jet which is an awesome alternative to the jet boating in Queenstown. It’s located only 40 minutes away from Queenstown so is worth considering if travelling through the Kawarau River Gorge. It’s also a place for jet boating in Cromwell.
The thrill ride down the stunning Kawarau River is full of 360 spins, near misses and some gold mining history too. After jet boating in Cromwell, we then move onto the Goldfield Mining Centre.
The Goldfields Mining Centre has some self-guided walking tours as well as some guided tours where it’s your chance to do some gold prospecting in New Zealand! If you want to do some gold prospecting in Queenstown or gold prospecting in Cromwell, this is the place to do it!
After touring a mock-up of an old gold mining settlement and seeing some old gold mining machinery, we try our hand at gold panning in Queenstown / gold panning in New Zealand.
So what do you think of the Goldfields Mining Centre in New Zealand? Would you consider stopping by between Queenstown and Cromwell? LUK in the comments!

Goldfields Mining Centre - 13 June 2012
Amazing place to go to
This was one of the locations for the film Good For Nothing.
A few lines from the film were acted out just for fun.
I did not shoot all of the footage myself and this is a very cut down version of all the footage shot at this location on this day.
Enjoy!
✈ ???????? Amazing experience ride ~ Goldfields Jet Boat, New Zealand
A spectacular Jet boat ride on the mighty Kawarau River. Through the heart of one of New Zealands most historic gold mining regions. Their specifically designed Jet boat and highly trained driver take us on an unforgettable 40-minute ride through the Kawarau Gorge.
Address:
Goldfields Mining Centre, Kawarau Gorge, State Highway 6 (SH6), Cromwell (that’s near Queenstown) at the Goldfields Mining Centre, Cromwell.
This was such an amazing experience. I don't think I have ever had my heart pumping so fast. Everytime we came so close to the rock shelves I really thought we would hit them. Sitting in the front on the outer aspect of the seat really gets the hear pumping.
第一次參加噴射飞艇，非常好玩，真的是非常難得的經驗，噴射飞艇在溪流上逆流而上，時速很快的在溪流上飆船，但一切都很安全，很令人放心，在登飞艇前會給你穿救身衣和一件防水雨衣，因為會來個360度大迴轉，有可能會被濺起來的水花潑濕哦~ 開船的船員會邊介紹周圍的風景和歷史，很棒~ 是個老少咸宜的活動 ????

Take a trip down memory lane with this ramble around the Clyde township. Originally called 'The Dunstan', this goldfields town was the hub of mining activity in the 1860's and retains its solid charm from those arduous days of the past.

Waihi gold mine (1)
Waihi mine is New Zealand's heart of gold... As you explore the town you'll find evidence of our golden past at every turn. At the top of town are the towering figures of the relocated Cornish Pumphouse and replica Poppet head. Then, as you wander down Seddon Street (named after our famous Prime Minister)you'll find bronze statues, restored historic buildings and interesting displays depicting our heritage.
Only metres from the centre of town, you can walk right to the edge of Waihi's huge open pit gold mine. The Pit Rim Walkway leads from the town centre to viewing platforms, which offer stunning views of both the pit and the surrounding countryside.
The Mine has a history that spans three centuries. John McCombie and Robert Lee first discovered gold on Pukewa (Martha Hill) in 1878. Martha Mine quickly became one of the most important gold mines in the world. By 1952, when the mighty Martha Mine closed, 174,160kg of gold and 1,193,180kg of silver had been extracted.
The deepest vertical shaft plunged 600m from the surface. Radiating from the seven vertical shafts, a 175km long network of tunnels was opened on 15 horizontal levels. About 600 men usually worked the mine but in 1909, when gold production peaked, 1500 people worked between the mine and its stamper battery at Waikino.
Following the resurgence of the gold mining industry in New Zealand in the late 1970s the new Martha project was the first major hard rock mining operation to be commissioned. Opening in 1987, the open pit was extended in 1997 and an underground operation on the outskirts of town also began operation in 2006.
