Prohibition Mine and Ball Mill: Things to do in Waiuta area
From the old Waiuta town site, 'Pro Road' winds up to the top of the country's deepest mineshaft (879 metres) and foundations of the ball mill where quartz was ground to extract gold. There are fine views from a 580 metre altitude. Part of the return journey can be made via the miners' short-cut track, which leaves the road just below the mine.
