Gumdiggers Park is an authentic Kauri gum digging site which has remained untouched since the holes were dug almost one hundred years ago. A mix of Maori, early European and in particular Dalmatian people formed this gum digging culture which provided the basis for one of the biggest industrial booms in New Zealand's past. Artefacts, equipment and recreated shelters are on display as well as information spots along the walks, providing details of these heroic pioneers and their lifestyles. It takes approximately 3/4 hour - 1.5 hours to see the site.
Open 9.00-5.30 pm daily, except for Christmas Day (closed).
Gumdiggers Park, 171 Heath Road, Waiharara , Awanui, Northland, New Zealand.
