Better scenery than my trip to Birdsville couple of years ago. more mountains, not so flat. more trees. Spectacular in its own way I guess.

Wow I had for sure thought maybe Dover.

Photos from the outside and inside of ventilation chimneys from one of the first blackball mines well from around the late 1890's. A fire was lit at the bottom and the draught pulled the air through the mine giving it circulation. The one from the inside is taken looking up from the hearth.
about 5 k's walking though the water race track along the bush up blackball creek and this is up in the middle of the bush on the side of a terrace.
Bit of an act to get into now and if its raining its like raiders of the lost ark getting to the step on the bank. Didn't make it last time I tried for that reason




Here's a pic of the bush its in and another pic of the much shorter round one. Legend has it the one was square and one was round as one was made by Cornish bricklayers and the other was made by Welsh brickies or something along those lines.
One day they will fall down or get knocked down by a tree which will be a shame.

Which track are these on? presuming there is public access?, Heading down that way soon and would love to go have a look.

@ROKTOY Yes public access-sort of a track and a bit of mission to get to the square one. The round one takes a bit of a knack after that. truly wilderness stuff but I could probably talk you to the general area of the square one at least. Id suggest also talking to the locals at the workies and the Hilton too and I could see if one of my mates still there could go for a walk with you as that would be the easiest.
I have no idea if the track that was there is any good anymore. Haven't done it for a few years now.
the Croesus up in behind Blackball is worth a look too, in a year or so they are linking it to the Punakaiki via the moonlight over the pike area. That would be a great walk.

The track from Croesus to Punakaiki sounds interesting, I have just recently read of it.
Will PM you later for info on the chimneys, even some topo co ords would be cool. cheers

yeah about that... I don't have anything like that but could certainly get you close. Haven't done the track for over 4 years now and never got the points for the chimneys even though I would dearly like to. I can get you pretty close but.

Wish I could join you on an adventure bike!

Here's my bros CBR at wellsford yesterday evening.

Interesting one I got of Mrs Shearer a while ago. Oh, and the inside of an old saw mill
