On Saturday we took a day trip to the Karangahake Gorge. The Gorge is enroute to the East Coast and is an old gold mine. Functioning gold mines are still common in NZ and mining is a large industry in the country.
The views of the Karangahake Gorge are spectacular and there are marked paths with walks for different distances. Our walk included going through an 1800 meter tunnel through the mountain. Dark and damp! The Gorge has a river running through it with large rocks and boulders strewn throughout. You can see our photos here....

Howdy Klines,
Well, I don't know all of you and only barely know Laura, since I'm the creative director at Bravo. But, Bill Spinner told me about your family adventure and I just HAD to check it out. I have a very dear, old friend who lives just outside Auckland (she's originally from Chicago).
I'm terribly jealous of your adventure, I have to tell you. I've wanted to visit NZ forever... even before my friend moved there (I'd include Australia in that wish as well).
The weather, from what I hear, is really a draw... and the glorious scenery. Y'gotta get more pix up on this blog guys!
In any case, looks like I might be one of the few outsiders who'll be checking your blog from time to time.
Have a terrific, safe and lovely time.
And, I have HAVE to say... what a beautiful looking family.
Warmest regards... and Laura, I send you a special greeting from everyone at Bravo.
